With reviewed papers that have generated several design solutions using
TRIZ, the TRIZ solution principles, almost all of them employed AHP as their method for selecting their best design. The remaining number of papers reviewed had not generated a list of design solutions, and were satisfied with one.

designs that have been ones generated as a solution to the problem. A hierarchy was constructed and the criteria for the best design were identified. The opinions of experts were collected in order to carry out the pairwise comparison of the criteria, and the weights were calculated accordingly. In order to confirm that the judgement was acceptable, the consistency ratio CR was calculated.
