Resumen
This paper compares Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) approaches for
monitoring projects, in order to determine their performance in terms of economic, environmental and social organizational
goals. This work is founded on an existing methodology to select and monitor projects based on DEA, and discusses
modifications and additions arising from using AHP. The proposal is applied to a real case. The results indicate that AHP
constitutes an insightful approach in situations requiring a modelling of managerial preferences regarding the relative
importance of organizational goals.
