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).
Companies must choose suppliers properly, because the selection of the right supplier can reduce raw material costs and increase the competitiveness of the company, while improper supplier selection can cause financial and operating problems. The purpose of this study is to determine the optimal supplier and order quantity of raw materials. As for the object of the research is a multipurpose technology machinery company. Data collection methods used in this study were observation, interviews, and questionnaires. Supplier data is processed using the AHP method to determine the right supplier, while the linear programming method is used to determine the order quantity of the raw material. Based on the calculation, the DS supplier gets a weight of 0.65 and the LG supplier gets a weight of 0.35. The optimal order quantity from each supplier is 7.5 tons for DS and 7.5 tons suppliers for LG suppliers. From the results of the optimization, the cost reduction figure is Rp. 3,750,000 or 3% of the total cost of purchase.
This article discusses the preliminary study about the selection and determination of order quantities of raw materials using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Linear Programming methods. AHP is used to carry out the weighting of each criterion and sub-criteria so that suppliers are found to be in accordance with the company, while linear programming is used to determine optimal raw material orders from each supplier that has been sorted. The purpose of writing this article is to provide a basis for the research that will be conducted. The method used in writing this article is a review literature. Based on inductive studies it can be concluded that the research that will be conducted has a difference with previous similar studies, namely the method used and the criteria set.
