The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was originally proposed by Saaty (1977, 1980, 1986) and is widely applied in decision making and management practice. The procedure obtains priorities based on multiple actors, scenarios, and criteria. The AHP is also frequently used in group decision making (GDM), which employs the AHP to answer group decision making questions due to its simplicity, power, and compatibility (Saaty 1989). For the AHP-GDM, each decision maker provides an individual pair-wise comparison matrix (PCM) in every local context of the hierarchy, and then several aggregation approaches are applied to obtain the group preference from the individual pairwise comparison matrices. The decisionmaking procedure in the AHP-GDM can be divided into 3 stages (Chiclana 2008, Dong et al. 2015): priority vector derivation, preference aggregation, and consensus reaching.
