Different methods are provided to deal with imprecise judgments of decision makers for the analytical hierarchy process. Most previous methods, which allow consideration of imprecise judgments as fuzzy numbers, provide the local and
global weights of elements as fuzzy numbers too. Local and global fuzzy numbers need additional aggregation, computation and ranking procedures. The global weights may overlap each other and make the ranking of alternatives difficult. As a result, since there are different methods of fuzzy computation and fuzzy ranking, in some problems, we cannot have a unique ranking of fuzzy numbers. In order to overcome this deficiency, one method for solving fuzzy analytical hierarchy process problems and obtaining the crisp priority vector is called extent analysis. As mentioned, the main challenges of solving such problems are the fuzzy computations and ranking of fuzzy numbers, because different
computation and ranking of fuzzy numbers may result in the different ranking of alternatives. Since the extent analysis method derives the crisp priority vector from fuzzy comparison matrices, it eliminates the need for additional
computation and ranking of fuzzy numbers. This method is used in much research, but, in this paper, it is indicated that the priority vector of this method is not appropriate. To overcome this defect, in this paper, a new meta-heuristic
based algorithm is proposed to derive the crisp priority vector from fuzzy comparison matrices. Furthermore, in order to illustrate the proposed method of this paper, it is compared with four methods available in the literature. The
computational results indicate that the proposed method is appropriate for deriving the crisp priority vector from fuzzy comparison matrices.
