Question

1- what is the difference between evaluating the layouts using analytical hierarchy method or evaluating it using Efficiency rate method ?

2- what is the relation between analytical hierarchy method and evaluating it using Efficiency rate method ?

Answer 1

The multi-criteria programming made through the use of the analytic hierarchy process is a technique for decision making in complex environments in which many variables or criteria are considered in the prioritization and selection of alternatives or projects.

Efficiency is often measured as the ratio of useful output to total input, which can be expressed with the mathematical formula r=P/C, where P is the amount of useful output ("product") produced per the amount C ("cost") of resources consumed.
