Prioritizing the Project's Assessing Criteria for Project Portfolio Selection with FAHP (Case study: Department of science& Marine Technologies)

In order to make the right decision and remain competitive global business environment, many firms decided to select the project that is aligned with the organization’s vision to save resource of the firms. Hence, the enterprise project portfolio selection is very important, because it provides the organization with its goals in the desired manner, without using additional resources, regardless of other limitations. In this paper, 35 qualitative and quantitative decision criteria for project portfolio selection were defined. With the expert manager, relative weights were assigned to them by fuzzy logic and Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP).We illustrated that Chang’s method (1996) in FAHP is not suitable to calculate and prioritized the criteria. Then the new method was used to calculate the weight. This research was done in Department of Marine science and technologies on 2013.
