The continuity and smooth running of the telecommunications system plays an important role during this pandemic. The smooth running of the telecommunications system cannot be separated from the repair function in some parts of the telecommunication system. NTE (Network Terminal Equipment) is one of the devices in telecommunications that plays an important role. PT HIJ as the company that responsible for NTE repair center has the production capacity issue, that is still under its required need. This research helps PT HIJ to make a decision to select the right vendor in the repair center project using the AHP method which will increase the production capacity of the repair center and meet the repair target.
