Abstract
Ranking and selection of textile fabrics for a particular end-use requirement is a complex task. In this article, an attempt has been made to develop a simple index of handloom fabric quality, which can be used for selecting fabrics for a specified end use. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Multiplicative Analytic Hierarchy Process (MAHP) of multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) have been used for ranking 25 handloom cotton fabrics in terms of their overall quality value considering their applicability as summer clothing materials. The rank correlation between the rankings elicited from two MCDM methods was found to be 0.926 which implies that the rankings given by AHP and MAHP are in high degree of agreement with each other and any of the two methods can be chosen for ranking of fabrics.
