Research Abstract	The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is a method for decision-making that considers uncertain situations or multiple evaluation criteria. In the AHP, a decision maker compares two elements between evaluation criteria and alternatives. Therefore, comparing all pairs is difficult when evaluating many alternatives. In this study, we present the comparison support method for evaluating many alternatives when a decision maker needs to decide the highest priority alternative. The comparison support method stops pairwise comparisons when the best solution, i.e., the highest priority alternative, is found, even if all pairs have not been compared. We represented a modeling of determine the best alternative using the AHP include comparison support system.
