In Tofus micro and medium enterprises, there is one traditional activity that is conducted repeatedly, called the cutting process. This cutting process is done by using a kitchen knife which makes it not efficient and can cause fatigue for operators. In addition, there is also the possibility of different sizes of tofu pieces because there is no measuring tools to cut it. This is because operators just follow the mold flow on the tofu. This study is aimed to make a product plan for tofu cutting tools. The Analytical Hierarchy Process was used as a research method in this study. This method begins with conducting interviews regarding the choices in level 1, 2 and 3 actions to several respondents. The respondents must choose and give an assessment on a scale of 1 to 9. The result taken from a variety of alternative solutions, which is made based on requirements specifications, is that the product of the tofu cutting tool is selected with materials made of pine wood, strings, handles, naples, and naple bolts. Moreover, the product produced will have a size of 52 x 52 cm2. The product design is based on material and tool specifications to produce a simple design. This is made so that the tofu cutting tool is easy to use as well as low cost.
