Decision Support System for Assistant Plantation Promotion Using SAW Method at PT. PSP

Abstract

Decision Support Systems (DSS) are essential for ensuring fairness and wisdom in the promotion process for the plantation assistant position. This study applies the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method to evaluate and select the most suitable leader foreman candidates based on three criteria: performance assessment, responsibility, and work behavior. The objectives of this research are: (1) to determine the weight assigned by the company to each criterion and (2) to select the most qualified leader foreman for promotion to the plantation assistant position. This study was conducted at PT. PSP, a company engaged in oil palm plantation. The survey involved all eight leader foremen from eight different divisions. The weighting results for each criterion are as follows: performance assessment (35%), responsibility (40%), and work behavior (25%). Based on the SAW method, the recommended candidate for promotion from leader foreman to assistant Afdeling is A8 from Afdeling VIII.
