Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is increasingly applied to many applications. Knowledge
representation of pairwise reciprocal matrix used in AHP, however, is still open to discuss. This talk
discusses the basic concepts and usages of AHP with its limitations. This talk presents the notion of
Primitive Cognitive Network Process (P-CNP), which revises the AHP approach with practical
changes. Some AHP applications revised by CNP are demonstrated with a step-by-step
demonstration. Comparisons with AHP are discussed. The proposed method as the better alternative
of AHP could be a promising decision tool using in various business areas such as logistics decision,
portfolio management, product concept selection, supplier evaluation, human resource management,
and project management.
