This paper shows fuzzy extended analytical hierarchy (FEAHP) applied to a warehouse management system (WMS) in a Colombian shipyard regarding selecting pertinent logistics software. The FEAHP method has been widely used for resolving decision-making problems where many quantitative and qualitative factors and variables are required. However the most important criticism of this method concerns the impossibility of including value judgments not on a continuous scale but rather on a discrete one which can be solved by fuzzy logic. This problem was resolved by using the fuzzy logic extension of the AHP method proposed by Chang in 1996 which was adapted for a specific context regarding a Colombian shipyard.
Este artículo presenta la aplicación del proceso de análisis jerárquico - Método AHP extendido con lógica difusa en la selección de una herramienta de software para logística tipo WMS (Warehouse Management System) en un astillero colombiano. El método AHP ha sido utilizado ampliamente para resolver problemas de análisis de decisión en donde es necesario involucrar un alto número de factores y variables tanto cualitativas como cuantitativas, sin embargo, la mayor critica a este método es que el mismo no permite la inclusión de juicios de valor en una escala continua, sino discreta, lo cual se puede corregir al integrar la lógica difusa. Este problema encuentra solución con la extensión del método AHP con lógica difusa, desarrollado por Chang en 1996. Adaptado para un contexto especifico como el de un Astillero en Colombia.
