Analysis of the Factors Affecting the Quality of Palm Oil Using the Analytical Hierarchy Process Method

Abstract

Riau is a province that has many oil palm plantations. One of the industries that manages palm oil is PT. Tasma Puja having the address jl. The kuamang river, kampar, where it produces crude oil or vegetable oils and animal oils. To calculate the quality of palm oil at PT. Tasma Puja is carried out laboratory tests based on water and dirt content, free fatty acid content, color and peroxide number. The process of storing free fatty acid data produced every time the production from laboratory test results is still stored manually using the Microsoft Excel application. By storing these data, there are weaknesses, namely the difficulty in assessing the quality of palm oil production produced. This study was conducted to better analyze and store production data from PT. Tasma Puja. The results of this study will be able to provide benefits to PT. Tasma Pujasehing will later facilitate PT. Tasma Puja in storing and processing palm oil production data. Analysis of these problems uses the concept of decision support systems Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method which is supported by PHP programming applications.
