The Use of Fuzzy Analytical Network Process Method in Selecting Suppliers by Considering Organizational Management Aspects

Abstract

Supplier selection is an important activity in collaborative processes between companies. Manufacturing
companies must pay attention to all aspects of the supplier and not only look at the aspects inherent to the
product, but other important aspects such as organizational management aspects. Capability, reputation,
and supplier ethics must be considered to maintain consistency of collaboration. Good organizational
management of the supplier company will create a reliable system and have an impact on increasing the
competitiveness of the manufacturing company or the supplier itself. One of the supplier selection
techniques that can be used to produce a good solution is the Fuzzy Analytical Network Process (F-ANP)
method. This method can produce better quality solutions, where the level of subjectivity and inaccuracies
that occur can be minimized compared to the usual ANP method. In this study, a manufacturing company
that prioritizes organizational management as an important aspect of supplier collaboration is the research
object. From the results, a more comprehensive and better supplier priority selection is obtained by
considering the organizational management criteria.
