Abstract The multicriteria decision-making process is still an open problem, especially when the decision criteria are not numerical or fully outlined. Several numerical, intelligent, or hybrid techniques have been developed, creating contributions to this problem's solution. This paper is another step in this direction. Based on the Modified Analytic Hierarchy Process (MAHP), a methodology for diagnosis and performance analysis is presented for the dispatch ranking of generating units in a thermoelectric plant. The problem is complex because it covers a power plant, where 99 generating units may be dispatched, according to 10 possible evaluation criteria, which should be used together. This article also presents details of the implementation of the sensors necessary to add to the supervisory system existing in the Palmeiras de Goias Thermal Power Plant.
