Thread Locker Supplier Selection Analysis Using Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process Method

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to find the best supplier in PT TBV with priority criteria based on company criteria. For determining the best supplier, the company will obtain the best raw materials and ensure that the production process is runs well. The alternative suppliers evaluated are Supplier X, Supplier Y, and Supplier Z, using the Fuzzy-AHP method. Fuzzy AHP was developed to cover the weaknesses of the AHP method. Combining the strengths of the Fuzzy method with AHP is one approach to overcoming the limitations of the Analytic Hierarchy Process. The approach in this research is mixed methods. This method is a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods. Data collection in this study used several techniques, namely interviews and questionnaires. The analysis was carried out on five criteria, namely price, quality, service, delivery, and supplier profile so that the following weights were obtained: price (0.38), quality (0.41), service (0.00), delivery (0.00), and supplier profile (0.21). Based on the results of the calculation of the final weight, supplier Z occupies the highest position with a weight of 0.4227, followed by supplier Y with a final weight of 0.3027, and the last supplier suggested is supplier X with a weight of 0.2746. These results are a guide for companies in choosing the most suitable suppliers to maintain smooth production operations.
