Abstract

The analysis and identification of the best choices based on different criteria and alternatives is a difficult task, the results affect directly the achievement of the organization’s objectives. In this sense, rigorous approaches of Multi-Criteria Decision Methods (MCDM) assist decision makers in sorting and selecting the best alternatives. Widely used on the solution of complex problems, the Analytic Network Process (ANP) is a decision-making tool that enables networking and calculates relationships between different network elements. This paper aims to present the ANSPI software developed in JavaScript language with the purpose of assisting in the use of ANP for complex decisions. Related work and tools are presented in order to identify advantages and difficulties. The tool has intuitive features and an easy-to-use interface, allowing multiple criteria and alternatives, and creating the representation of a networked system that considers interdependencies, feedbacks and complex relationships between different network elements.
