摘要：There are so many paper shredder products available in the market, and the decision to select a ‘right shredder’ usually involves a number of criteria. For organizations, complexity arises when the procurement function is to purchase a massive amount of shredders of the same type. This study initiated the idea to use the analytic hierarchy process with graph theory and matrix approach for solving the problem. The proposed model determines the best shredder from a pool of alternatives, given the buyer-side decision-maker’s preference settings. With the expert questionnaire polled and the heterogeneous real data collected, the model is applied to a reduced data set. The size of the decision problem is defined as 8 alternatives are filtered among 26, while the 7 justification attributes considered are fully kept for not losing the experimental meaning. The result shows the effectiveness and applicability of the approach to manage the encountered decision scientifically. As this also implies that not only buy...
