Abstract:
This study was conducted within a logistics company specializing in the export of CKD
automotive parts. With the company's expansion in Indonesia, the crucial task of selecting the
most suitable port arose. The primary objective was to evaluate two potential ports, namely
Tanjung Priok Port and Cikarang Dryport, based on several critical criteria such as service
quality, affordability, customer service, infrastructure, and innovation. To accomplish this, the
study employed the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and the Technique for Order of
Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) methods for port selection.The research
identified a comprehensive set of five main criteria and twenty sub-criteria for the evaluation
process. Through the implementation of the AHP method, Tanjung Priok Port achieved a score
of 10.35, while Cikarang Dryport scored 9.65. Furthermore, the TOPSIS analysis resulted in a
value of 0.61 for Tanjung Priok Port and 0.38 for Cikarang Dryport. Consequently, based on
these findings, Tanjung Priok Port was determined to be the most optimal choice for the
company.The outcomes of this research offer significant contributions to the field of strategic
decision-making in port selection, enabling the logistics company to enhance operational
efficiency and cost optimization for their CKD exports. Moreover, the study provides valuable
insights into the practical application of AHP and TOPSIS methods within the context of port
selection.
