In Just-In-Time (JIT) manufacturer, supplier selection, as long-term investment, is one of the success keys to the JIT implementation. Thus, the objective of this paper is to use a method for supplier selection process in JIT manufacturing industry by applying Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). This paper is written based on a study in the largest JIT Automotive Industry in Indonesia. The method begins by applying AHP to settle the criteria considered in a multi criteria and multi person decision making problem. A detailed step-bystep implementation of the method is provided and a case study based on a JIT automotive industry is conducted to prove and ensure the consistency and validity of the applied method. The proposed method AHP, as a method for selecting supplier in a multi person and multi criteria decision, aims to fulfill all the demand in the supplier selection process by considering all 5 criteria and 4 potential suppliers.
