| Abstract: | A project to reduce despatch costs of manufacturer is described. A model is constructed that would enable the lowest-cost haulier to be selected. The use of the analytic hierarchy process to derive the necessary data is explored. The existing information system did not generate the necessary data for the regular use of a model based on actual dispatches. Attempts were made to compare the results of a complete census of traffic carried out in the initial stage of the project with the data obtained from the analytic hierarchy process. |
