Decision Analysis on Choosing the Right Site Location of Learning Facility Using Analytic Hierarchy Process

摘要

This paper will be discussing on the decision analysis using Analytic Hierarchy Process. Making a decision can be challenging especially when it involves the whole organization. The complexity of the problem, the uncertainty of the outcome of the alternative will make a decision maker having a hard time to finalize his decision. Therefore, Analytical Hierarchy Process is one of the answers to help a decision maker in decision-making. AHP has been used in many areas by simplifying the complex situation through its hierarchy and putting the weight on each criterion (level 1, level 2, and so on) in that hierarchy. The pairwise comparison between criterions and also between criterions and the alternatives will present the prioritization. The global weight can be obtained by adding up the local weight. This AHP method is applied through the following case study. The BPPTD Bali (Balai Pendidikan dan Pelatihan Transportasi Darat / Civic Education and Training of Transportation) would like to improve their human resources by increasing the learning facilities through transportation school construction facility. The right location is very crucial before making a decision. However, there are 6 factors to be considered for location selection which are legal aspect, social, economy, cultural, technical and environment. Every location will be reviewed through these 6 aspects and analyzed using AHP method. The result of this research will be used by the decision maker to decide the location, which has the highest weight.
