Abstract

Philippine-based e-commerce companies strive to improve their decisions to gain a competitive advantage. One of the crucial business decisions to gain a competitive advantage is choosing the best suppliers. The procurement process depends on choosing the finest suppliers, which also gives businesses a big chance for cost savings. We used the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) which one of the Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methods to select the best suppliers in one of the e-commerce in the Philippines. We utilized five criteria to judge three selected suppliers. The five criteria are Cost, Quality, Delivery, Payment Flexibility, and Variety. Based on the computational experiment that was processed in Super Decision Software, Supplier 2 is selected to be the best supplier among Supplier 1 and Supplier 3. Therefore, Supplier 2 may be selected as the best supplier for the unknown Philippine-based E-commerce company for the new product it is planning to launch.
