Abstract: In order to compare composite wood in Iran, a hierarchy was designed to prioritise benefits, opportunities, costs and risks using analytic hierarchy process rating approach. BOCR structure was determined by providing questionnaires and collecting data from knowledgeable persons who were consumers of the products in wood industry. The BOCR was affected by all factors. All these were weighted by AHP. Also, using questionnaire, the pair-wise comparison was made both for sub-criteria and for four alternatives with respect to the criteria. Then by synthesising criteria weights with sub-criteria and alternative weights, the total weight of alternatives was calculated through analytical network process.
