Appendix F)
Applied AHP
In this appendix, the AHP process that is described in Appendix D) is gone through to determine the attribute weights for the RNLA’s spare parts. Seven respondents with different backgrounds were chosen to participate in this process (Table F.1) Table F.1 - Respondents AHP process

Logistics These respondents were asked to fill out three pair-wise comparison forms; one to determine the weights of the three main goals, one to determine attribute weights with respect to the reduce cost goal, and one to determine the weights with respect to the reduce downtime goal. The third goal, secure supply, has only one underlying attribute, which automatically receives a 100% weight. The averages of their responses are shown in Table F.2, Table F.3 and Table F.4.
