Decision Support System in Detrmination of Project Tender Winner Using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) Method

Abstract

Decision Support System (DSS) is a system that can help someone in making accurate and targeted decisions. Many problems can be solved by using DSS, one of which is the determination in the winner of the project tender. There are several methods that can be used in building a DSS, including Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). AHP is the most widely used method in solving multi-criteria problems, such as in determining the winner of a project tender. This study uses the AHP method in determining the winner of a project tender in the Procurement Services Unit (ULP) IAIN Bukittinggi. In determining the winner of a tender, there are several criteria that form the basis of decision making including administrative evaluation, technical evaluation, price evaluation and qualification evaluation. From the four criteria, it is processed according to alternative data, namely bidders. The application used in determining the winner of this tender is the Expert Choice software. The final results in this study are the results of global priority criteria that are sorted from highest to lowest, so that the committee can determine the winner of the tender.
