AN AHP (ANALYTIC HIERARCHY PROCESS)/FCE (FUZZY COMPREHENSIVE EVALUATION)-BASED MULTI-CRITERIA DECISION APPROACH FOR LOOKING FOR THE BEST ALL TIME COLLEGE COACHES

In this paper the AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) and the FCE (Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation) are applied to find the best coaches from different sports and to rank these great coaches. First, we screen coaches’ information using three screening criterions. We rank the screened coaches preliminarily by means of analytic hierarchy process (AHP). Second, we rank them by fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method(FCE), and we determined the top5 coaches on basketball, football and hockey. Third, we use the Topsis method to test the accuracy and reasonableness of the model, modify the model and then reorder the original results to inspect the consistency of the results of the two models. Finally, we take some other factors into account to optimize our model, which includes on the influence of time line horizon and genders.
