The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) has been applied in many practical system engineering problems. In this paper in order to correct the consistency of judgement matrix in the AHP, a new method, named AGA-CAHP, is proposed to check the consistency of judgement matrix and compute rank weights at the same time using an accelerating genetic algorithm. The results of theoretical analysis and a case study show that the new method is visual, practical, stable and high precision, and it possesses important theoretical meaning and broad application value in systems engineering.
