Abstract

See full text

A system and method for assessing potential outsourcing locations is provided. The system and method decompose the goal of assessing the potential locations into a hierarchy of criteria, such as an analytical hierarchy process model. One example of hierarchy of criteria comprises cost, capability, and risk. The user may input data about the importance of a criterion relative to other criteria. The user may further input data about the potential outsourcing locations, such as cost, capability and risk data for each of the potential locations. Using the data input, the analytical hierarchical process engine may determine weights for each of the criteria and may rank the potential outsourcing locations based on the weighted criteria.
