Sulitnya mempertemukan pemasok yang tepat dengan perusahaan dalam
hubungan kemitraan jangka panjang menjadi masalah yang selalu dihadapi oleh perusahaan pengolahan makanan skala menengah di Indonesia. Dengan menerapkan faktor-faktor budaya organisasi dalam strategic supplier partnership dapat mendukung keberhasilan long-term relationship dengan pemasok. Penelitian ini mencoba untuk mengembangkan suatu model proposisi strategic supplier partnership yang bertujuan untuk membangun hubungan kemitraan jangka panjang antara supplier dengan perusahaan pengolahan makanan. Pengembangan model tersebut dilakukan dengan metode triangulasi data dan kemudian harus divalidasi melalui expert view. Berdasarkan hasil expert view dengan Factory Manager PT. Pahala Bahari Nusantara, disimpulkan bahwa communication, trust, commitment, information sharing, cooperation, respect, dan satisfaction dapat mempengaruhi penerapan strategic supplier partnership yang mengacu pada long-term relationship dengan supplier. Sedangkan power dapat mempengaruhi perilaku, niat dan tindakan perusahaan dalam hubungan kerja sama namun tidak mempengaruhi long-term relationship dengan pemasok.
ABSTRACT Research that uses the heuristic conventional method such as CRAFT, BLOCPLAN, and CORELAP take a long time in solve layouts problems in a large scale. Metaheuristic is methods that be able to cope with those problems. But there is time when the emergence of confusion occurs in the selection of a method due to the many kinds of methods that should be used. This research trying to develop a system of decision-making to choose the best method of metaheuristic based on 5 criteria that is the quality of the solution, the focus of the search, computation time, ease of implementation, and ease of decoding variable decision by the use of fuzzy AHP. Criteria that have been found based on the study of literature then been validated to three experts using a questionnaire prelude.The next step is by assessing the level of the importance of all each criteria and metaheuristic methods (Genetic Algorithm, Particle Swarm Optimization, Ant Colony Optimization and Simulated Annealing ) using AHP questionnaire. Weights judgments will be done by three people who are expert or one who were well-experienced in research in the field of metaheuristic. The method chosen from the processing fuzzy AHP is GA method. Testing result is effected by the case study of layout design on XYZ manufacturing company from previous studies. The research indicates that the selected method is able to produce the performance as well as the layout that is better than the previous method, although weights obtained are not too different. This research suggests to do the metaheuristic testing with the other case study examples such as the problem of TSP, vehicle routing problem, and scheduling problems.
