SITE SUPERVISOR SELECTION WITH ANALYTIC HIERARCHY PROCESS (AHP) AND CASE STUDY

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop a methodology for the selection of site supervisors for construction companies carrying out medium-sized building construction works. For this purpose, 3 construction companies were interviewed and the developed method was used for the site supervisor selection of these companies. In this context, 4 candidates who applied to Company A were given scores by the company official according to the selection criteria used in this study and analyses were made with AHP. Candidate 3 ranked first with a priority value of 26.57%. This result was compared with the results of the simultaneous selection by the company using its own method and it was seen that the company selected the same candidate. Same procedure was used for companies B and C. Three different candidates had applied to each company. According to the results, Candidate 3 was selected by Company B with a priority value of 37.52% and Candidate 1 was selected by Company C with a priority value of 35.87%. It was observed that the selection results of both companies carried out simultaneously with their own methods were the same with the candidates found in the study.
