Description: This paper presents a selection methodology for a computer-family. The proposed      methodology incorporates the Analytic Hierarchy Process in the evaluation procedure and      aims at helping organizations in selecting a family of computers from a manufacturer's      product line, rather than a specific computer model. The practice of computer selection and      the existing solutions for a computer-family selection procedure are briefly described. Then,      Saaty's Analytic Hierarchy Process is presented and incorporated into the selection      methodology. The result is a structured and comprehensive methodology that allows      decision makers to rank the alternatives more objectively and select a computer-family that      best fits the needs of the entire organization. Illustrative examples are embedded in the text      to demonstrate the application of the various steps in the proposed methodology. (kr)
