Abstract

The research aimed to determine the appropriate weight criteria and sub-criteria in selecting the chemical solvent supplier. It was also to recommend the best alternative suppliers using a comparative analysis method of Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (FAHP) and Fuzzy Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (FTOPSIS). The research was conducted in one of the chemical manufacturing companies in Indonesia. The type of research was descriptive with a quantitative approach that used primary data sources such as questionnaires, interviews, and observations, and secondary data such as books and journals. The criteria studied were cost, quality, delivery, flexibility, supplier profile, and supplier relationship. The results of using FAHP indicate that the criteria with a major influence on the decision making of supplier selection are quality followed by delivery, cost, supplier relationship, flexibility, and supplier profile in sequence. Then, using FTOPSIS, it recommends that the best supplier alternative decision is Supplier A with a weight value of 0,773 and an approved evaluation status. The results have shown that both methods are suitable for supplier selection, particularly in supporting group decision making and modeling uncertainty.
