Priority Proposal in Selecting Fresh Fruit Bunch Suppliers Using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Weighted Scoring Model

Abstract

This article discusses the proposed priority in selecting suppliers of fresh fruit bunches in a company engaged in agribusiness that produces crude palm oil (CPO). The problem faced by the company is that the FFB Internal plantation has not been able to supply all the needs of the fresh fruit bunch. In addition, the supply of fresh fruit bunches from farmer groups is not sufficient for processing capacity. In order to overcome this problem the company must determine potential suppliers to meet the processing capacity of the plant. To determine potential suppliers is done by selecting suppliers based on the appropriate criteria. In determining suppliers, the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and weighted scoring models are used. The AHP method is used to determine the weighting of the quality criteria for fresh fruit bunches, then the weighted scoring model is used to rank suppliers based on the results of the questionnaire provided. Based on the results of the AHP calculation, the criteria for the quality of fresh fruit bunches, namely clean loose, have the highest weight of 0.24. Then based on the weighted scoring model, the supplier sequence is B (83), C (83), D (83), H (83), E (83) G (81.5), J (80.5), L (80.5), F (80), E (79), I (78.5), K (78), and A (71.5).
