Abstract: In order to determine the key factors of cutting scheme, the analytic hierarchy process has been adopted. A systematic AHP model which contains 3-hierarchies with 5 types and 22 factors, was established, based on analyzes the effect factors of cutting scheme by the practical production. And designed an investigation table about the importance of the effect factors, and send to garment enterprise specialists. And through specialists’ investigation some judgment matrixes constructed which satisfy the consistency. Using the AHP calculation rules of to calculate the weight of each factor, and the results show that quantity, repeat, ply count, lay, and spreading length are the key factors of cutting scheme, which provides quantitative foundation and for cutting scheme.

Key words: cutting scheme, affecting factor, analytical hierarchy process, quantitative analysis, garment
