Abstract

Warehouses play crucial roles in pump manufacturing companies by distributing the pumps to the customers at right time with low logistics cost. Hence, pump manufacturing companies are required to prioritise the warehouse location. As several criteria are to be considered, multi-criteria decision-making techniques are required to be applied for prioritising warehouse location. In the context of this observation, the research reported in this paper was carried out. While carrying out this research, the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) technique was applied in a pump manufacturing company for prioritising its warehouse location in an Indian city. This task was carried out by gathering the necessary data from the managing director of this company by supplying questionnaires. Using this data, analysis associated with AHP was carried out and prioritised warehouse location was determined. The overall inference is that AHP is a good technique to carry out warehouse location in pump manufacturing companies.
