Supplier selection and determination of quantity of raw material orders using analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and linear programming: A preliminary study

Abstract

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.
