In industry, rather commonly, and especially in developing countries and indeed when financial crises persist, it becomes hard to convince the decision takers of an organization to invest in “restoration” or “improvement” projects within: their infrastructure, their equipment or their methods of function. But the fact is, ceasing to perform “restoration” or “improvement” projects are like a patient who stops taking his/her medication, a direct way of slow suicide. Even if the managers are convinced with this fact, they face the traditional difficulty of selection or deferral of projects; as well as the difficulty of deciding on the amounts and the proportions of expenditures on these projects. To the best of the author’s knowledge, this problem has never been discussed in literature before. This paper proposes a solution approach through the implementation of the AHP and the ANP to help the decision taker, compose an objective decision on: the selection and the expenditure amounts of “restoration” and “improvements” projects within their domain. The Hierarchy or the network is built based on the relevant criteria as deduced from actuality in industry. The judgments are input by experts from the industry. The user conducts the judgments for alternatives once a year, and therefore gets a measurable output of the organization’s interest in realizing the projects subject of the discussion. This output is therefore translated into selection and trend of expenditures. One major characteristic of the proposed approach is that it takes in consideration the surrounding conditions through the user judgments and therefore evolves with the organization. The implementation of this approach is expected to preserve vast investments from deterioration or collapse, guarantees the continuous improvements to take place and as importantly prevents subjective conflicts over requirements of expenditures.
