Decision Support System in Determining the Job Waiting Period for Graduates of Unimed Using the Mamdani Method of Fuzzy Logic

Abstract

During the job search period as an educated unemployed person, it takes time to be accepted into the world of work. The time required to look for a job is a matter of uncertainty. So, we need a system that can be used as a reference in determining the job waiting period for graduates. The graduate job waiting period is when someone has not found a job after graduation. Several factors influence this. In this research, the factors used as job waiting period variables are GPA, length of study and achievement. Every graduate certainly has a different job waiting period. This research aims to determine the job waiting period for Graduates of Unimed by designing a decision support system using the Fuzzy Mamdani method. This research uses quantitative methods. Data was obtained by distributing questionnaires to Graduates of Unimed. It is hoped that the decision support system for determining the job waiting period can encourage students, especially Universitas Negeri Medan students, to improve their quality before entering the job. With the help of Matlab software, a decision support system using the Mamdani method can be used to determine the waiting period, where the result is that the job waiting period for Graduates of Unimed is fast in the 0-3 month category.
