Supplier Selection Using Analytic Hierarchy Process for Installation Fire Protection System in High-Rise Building
Keywords:
analytic hierarchy process, fire protection supplier selection, decision makingAbstract
The Analytic Hierarchy Process--AHP is an efficient technique for making decisions with multiple objectives. This technique helps determine the significance of aspects in decision-making and allows for a systematic and efficient evaluation of different possibilities. This research utilizes the Analytic Hierarchy Process--AHP to manipulate decision-making issues related to the selection of contractors for the installation of fire suppression systems in high-rise buildings. The study examines five key factors: work standards, environment and society, company credibility, product quality, and financial issues. The assessment of these factors was conducted through the administration of a questionnaire to those who are engaged in the procurement process. According to the investigation, work standards were shown to be the most crucial element, contributing to 33.00% of the overall significance in the selection of contractors. The weight of environmental and social issues was 12.00%, but the study of company credibility contributed 16.00%. The weight assigned to product quality was 31.00%, while the weight assigned to financial issues was 8.00%. Following the investigation, the first supplier was chosen as the most suitable candidate for installing fire suppression systems in high-rise buildings. The total score was 4.40. This decision was based on its superior performance in appropriating work standards and its consistent commitment to product quality factors.
