Applying Value-Focused Thinking (VFT) and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) to Determine the Authority for Rig-Owned Transportation Management at PT Pertamina Hulu Rokan Zone 4

Research Aims: The purpose is to select the authority owner of rig-owned transportation management in Pertamina Hulu Rokan Zona 4 Design/methodology/approach: The research combines qualitative and quantitative method. Qualitative method utilizes value-focused thinking (VFT) to generate or clarify values, alternatives and objectives while qualitative method utilizes analytical hierarchy process (AHP) to quantify and prioritize criteria and alternatives. Research Findings: This research shown that both methods work well sequentially in the process of multi criteria decision making (MCDM). The initial criteria and alternative can be enriched through the usage of VFT from the interview with the expert where additional sub-criteria and alternative appear. AHP is then used to prioritize the result from VFT with several stages of computation used for AHP analysis. The result for criteria and sub-criteria shown that the most important criteria is benefit, followed by cost and risk. Rig-owned performance is most important followed by expertise, synergy and time to implement in benefit sub-criteria. Operational cost is more important than project cost in cost sub-criteria. Operational risk is more important than social risk in risk sub-criteria. Finally, the selected authority owner is creating new function called operation support compared to another alternative, SCM-RAM (existing system) and Well Intervention (self-manage). Theoretical Contribution/Originality: This research offers new insight to create a structured way to construct a decision-making process by utilizing MCDM, VFT and AHP where the alternative is flexible and not pre-determined. VFT can be a tool to re-evaluate and generate criteria, objective and alternative. Keywords: Analytical hierarchy process, decision making, transportation management, value-focused thinking.
