Abstract:

Supplier selection is a crucial element in enhancing the operational performance of SMEs, especially in the textile industry. XYZ SME, as a company engaged in fabric production, faces challenges in determining suppliers that meet key criteria such as product quality, cost, flexibility, and responsiveness to market demand. This study aims to analyze and determine the best fabric suppliers for XYZ SME using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. AHP allows for the determination of priority weights based on relevant criteria and sub-criteria, and provides priority scores for each supplier being evaluated. The research findings reveal that Supplier nirwana tekstil occupies the top position with the highest priority score of 0.433882, followed by Supplier tokok kain pasar baru (0.259807), while Suppliers tiga saudara tekstil, jayatekstil, and kharisma have lower priorities. Product quality and cost were found to be the primary factors in supplier selection, with quality (0.305031) being the most dominant criterion, followed by cost (0.200456). A novel finding in this research is the significant importance of accuracy or adherence to product specifications, which was found to be a key sub-criterion influencing supplier selection. Adherence to specifications ranked the highest in the accuracy category, indicating that consistency in meeting agreed-upon quality standards greatly impacts the final product quality and company reputation. This finding provides valuable insights for SMEs in selecting the right suppliers and opens avenues for future research that considers external factors and non-technical relationships in supplier selection.
