In real applications, conventional AHP assumes the expert judgment as it is exact and use crisp number leading to inconsideration of the uncertainty that came from linguistic variable. Fuzzy logic deals with situations which are vague or unwell defined and gives a quantify value. In this study a comparison is made between traditional AHP and fuzzy AHP by taking a case of selecting an effective oil refinery. The selection is conducted using system effectiveness as a criterion. The two approaches have been compared on the same hierarchy structure and criteria set and the result show that in both case dual drum scheme (DDS) has the highest priority but different value that is 0.51 and 0.36 for AHP and FAHP respectively which shows that if the expert opinion is certain AHP should be used if not FAHP should be preferred. © 2014 Owned by the authors, published by EDP Sciences. date: 2014 publisher: EDP Sciences official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84905043439&doi=10.1051%2fmatecconf%2f20141301006&partnerID=40&md5=233a4f7c1f5533c9edbe188848aaed17 id_number: 10.1051/matecconf/20141301006 full_text_status: none publication: MATEC Web of Conferences volume: 13 place_of_pub: Kuala Lumpur refereed: TRUE issn: 2261236X citation: Mulubrhan, F. and Mokhtar, A.A. and Muhammad, M.
