Estudo de localização para expansão do Curso de Engenharia de Produção de uma instituição de ensino superior no Estado do Pará utilizando o método AHP. 2018 . Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso (Graduação em Engenharia de Produção) – Universidade do Estado do Pará, Belém, 2018.https://bibliotecadigitaldetcc.uepa.br/handle/riuepa/662The rational, quantitave and strategic study of location has a strongly influence on the development of an institution, it could impact on the operational area and on the market opportunities of some locations. This paper is based on a High Education Public Institution of the State of Pará and the study had the goal to identify the cities where management engineer course could be expanded. The developed methodology was the multicriteria decision support method Analytic Hierarchy Process. It was necessary to aplly the chose methodology define which criteria impact the decision of has a new course’s location and the priority was defined as number of people that lives on the cities, how many industries act there, fisical infrastructure and educational infrastructure. The used data on the paper was catched on official sites and articles. Next was able to apply AHP method and then the outcome was used on Software Expert Choice to got location’s priority hierarchy to the paper goal and used the Sensitivity Graphic to verify outcomes’s consistency and tried other propositions. The results show that the cities hierarchy of the goal are Barcarena, Santatém, Parauapebas, Altamira e Paragominas. It is important to say that the outcome does not prove that the city of Barcarena has the biggest weight in every criteria, because to fisical infrastructure and number of people other cities had more importance. Finally, was able to define a strategic plan of town expansion for the management engineer course to support the decision making of the studied institution.Língua PortuguesaAbertoStrategic locationAHP methodDecision makingMulticriteriaProduction Engineering CourseTrabalho de Conclusão de Curso (TCC)
