Abstract
In the paper, the Analytic Hierarchy Process with labels expressed in the form of graded numbers is considered. It is shown that this approach is more general than the well known Saaty approach and that the use of graded numbers has some advantage over the possible use of fuzzy numbers. An order for graded numbers is also proposed.
