Abstract

The objective of this study focused on proposing the application of the AHP multicriteria method to prioritize the investment in projects that Escuela Superior Politécnica de Chimborazo carries out in order to achieve the optimal management of institutional resources, starting from the 2021 period. The research was carried out through the application of surveys to the directors of the main departments that develop projects in the institution and the so-called experts on the area as well as an interview applied to the director of the Planning Department where the following aspects were identified: the absence of a prioritization system that helps the optimal management of resources, budget allocation is not provided., Likewise, the people surveyed mentioned the need to apply a method to assist the decision making processes. For the analysis of criteria, sub-criteria and alternatives, the AHP multicriteria method was used along with the Expert Choice program, showing as a result that undergraduate and postgraduate academic management has 0.336 (33.60%), which constitutes the highest value, keeping in mind that academic projects generate a great contribution to fulfill the mission and vision of the institution. It is concluded that AHP is the easiest and the most practical method to be used for decision making, facilitating the results of the sensitivity analysis. It is recommended to apply a prioritization system to assist processes and provide information in a simpler and more accurate way.
