Analytic Hierarchy Process Decision-Making Framework for Procurement Strategy Selection in Building Maintenance Work

AbstractThis paper presents a study of selection of procurement method in building maintenance management for public universities in Malaysia through the use of multiple criteria decision making (MCDM), particularly the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). There are many different types of procurement methods that have been developed to overcome the weaknesses of the existing procurement method and to meet the range of service requirement. The decision makers are faced with challenges when it comes to selecting the most appropriate procurement method for a specific building as different types of procurement methods suit different types of projects. This research seeks to investigate the current practices of the available procurement methods for building maintenance work in public universities and identify the procurement selection criteria to develop an effective decision-making framework. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 20 public universities in Malaysia with 85% response rate to identify and val...
