Application of Integrated Decision Support Model in Tendering

Abstract

Abstract.Tendering is an important issue that requires Decision Support System (DSS) attention as a decision to award tenders to certain competing applications could influence successful completion of a project. This paper presents a framework of DSS for a tendering process based on a combination of single criteria statistical model, weighted model and an extended AHP model known as Guided AHP (GAHP). This hybrid model allows single criteria tender prices which are considered abnormal to be excluded from further detail multicriteria GAHP evaluation. GAHP is proposed to minimize the possibility of inconsistent data entry and to improve evaluation accuracy and flexibility. The use of model integration takes the advantage of their strengths and complements each other's weaknesses. Finally, a real organizational government tendering application is applied to demonstrate the potential of the proposed framework.

“…The AHP technique has been repetitively studied and adopted into various applications that make use of multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) [4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Some examples of applications are within the domains of education, engineering, government, industry, management, manufacturing, politic, social, and sports [5].…”

Integrated Model for MCDM: Selection Contractor in Malaysian Construction Industry

“…Hence, the tendering processes commence with the preparation of the tender, and end with the completion of the tender [5]. Tendering problem areas needs DSS [26]. The tendering system to select a contractor in construction industry is under MCDM field.…”

“…A need exists to implement management information system systematically with highly competitive in which data is too much. There were a total of 64,895 registered contractors in Malaysia at the end of 2010; the demands for construction from the Public sector amounted to RM28.4 billion and demand from the Private sector amounted to RM28.8 billion and contributed 50.0% to the total construction work value annually, according to information released by the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) [26]; therefore, the construction sector remains a highly competitive industry, which is complex and fragmented in Malaysia [27]. Some standard procedures should be followed for construction in Malaysia according to Jabatan Kerja Raya (JKR) the Ministry of Public Works [27].…”
