Abstract
A formal decision methodology is a sound approach for assisting in decision making needed for the selection of irradiators for Potato preservation. A formal analysis is preferred over an informal intuitive analysis which has limitations. This will focus on substantial issues and provide the basis for a compromise between conflicting objectives. All critical issues in selection of irradiators for Potato preservation can be addressed within the decision analysis framework. Of special significance is the treatment of the uncertainly associated with consequences of a decision and the preferences of the experts. A decision theory is employed in providing a strategy for implementation of the irradiator selection for food preservation for Saudi Arabia. To select a suitable decision methodology for the present case, a detailed survey of available decision methods was conducted. These methods have been developed and applied with varying degrees of success to many diverse areas of interest. Based on detailed surveys, the Analytic Hierarchy process (AHP) was selected to evaluate the various irradiators for Potato irradiation. These are electron accelerators, X-ray irradiators, and gamma irradiators. The purpose was to determine the optimal. The set of factors impacting irradiator selection were developed and defined to provide comprehensive and realistic variables
