Abstract
The objective of this research has purposed to assess raw materials suppliers for a tapioca starch factory in Sakon Nakhon province. According to the current raw materials delivery study, it was found that the factory has no clear and appropriate criteria for evaluating each suppliers of raw materials. Therefore, the researcher has applied the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to weigh the critical factors for the raw materials supplier evaluation, especially the cassava plantation groups due to having a greater delivery volume than provided by farmers groups. The study consulted with executives, raw material procurement officers, and relevant personnel and collected data to determine the factors. The research results showed that the results of the weight analysis of the three factors were ranked in order of importance as follows: 1) the quality factor (0.674), 2) the quantity factor (0.225), and 3) the delivery factor (0.101), respectively. The results of the weight analysis can ranking of cassava plantation suppliers in each factor and ranking of cassava plantation suppliers in overall factor. In addition, the researcher grouped the raw material suppliers into three categories AA, BB and CC according to their scores and ranking. This information serves as a decision-making tool for the factory in selecting raw materials suppliers and provides guidance for future strategic development of raw material suppliers.
