A Multi-Attribute Evaluation Model for Air Force Engineering Projects

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA268082 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The methods for evaluating Air Force engineering proposals are well established. However, at times, the rating a proposal receives is arbitrarily andor subjectively determined. The method proposed in this study will yield a systematically determined rating for each proposal. In this thesis, a multi- attribute evaluation methodology is developed based on the Analytical Hierarchy Process to prioritize proposals. The methods are applied to two different stages of the Air Force laboratory procurement process the first stage is the resource allocation phase where division-level management decides which projects will be funded the second stage is proposal evaluation, where the project engineer evaluates proposals sent in by defense contractors.
