Belton [4] compared AHP and a simple multi-attri-bute value (MAV), as two of the multiple criteria
approaches. She noticed that both approaches have
been widely used in practice which can be considered as
a measure of success. She also commented that the
greatest weakness of the MAV approach is its failure to
incorporate systematic checks on the consistency of
judgments. She noticed that for large evaluations, the
number of judgments required by the AHP can be
somewhat of a burden.
