ORGANIZATION STRUCTURE SELECTION BASED ON COMBINATION BETWEEN TIME HORIZON ANALYSIS AND ANALYTIC HIERARCHY PROCESS

AHP, organization structure, time horizon, dynamic value, multicriteria, priority Summary: The proposed research has objective to evaluate and select organisation structure based on AHP regarding its related time horizon. The research is based on selection process of three main types of organization structure in a manufacturing company. Each alternative is selected based on its relevancy to different periode of implementation. The three tyves are: (a) implementing existing organization structure, (b) implementing strategic business unit and (c) implementing investment holding organization. To evaluate these alternatives, the proposed model has following criteria: increasing efficiency, improving coordination among organizational functions, focusing on supply chain management, minimizing delivery lead time, market orientation, increasing accountability, facilitating control of material and energy. Typical contribution of the proposed model is how to define criteria weight using AHP as dynamic value; whereas the weight depends on its related time horizon. Each time horizon corresponds to different organizational strategic challenges and business requirements. Results of the proposed research is recommendation of priority of organizaiton structures for different time horizons
