Sistem Pendukung Keputusan Pemilihan SMA Berbasis Web Menggunakan Metode Analytical Hierarchy Process (Ahp) dan Topsis

Abstract

The advancement of science and technology has brought about changes in various aspects of human life, including the selection of secondary schools. Effective decision-making requires the application of the best method from various available solution alternatives. Computers have proven their role in enhancing efficiency and positive impact in various human activities. This research aims to address the complexities of selecting a high school by developing a web-based Decision Support System (DSS) using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) methods. This thesis encompasses user requirement analysis, system design and implementation, as well as result evaluation. The outcome of this study is a system that assists 9th-grade students of SMP Kawasan Industri Ciampel (KIC) in choosing a suitable high school based on their preferences and criteria. In the system implementation, the AHP method is used to calculate the weights of different criteria, and the TOPSIS method is utilized to rank schools based on user-inputted preferences. This system provides more accurate and focused school recommendations, simplifying the decision-making process for students and parents. Further development could extend the geographical scope and criteria for school selection, as well as enhance the efficiency of the AHP and TOPSIS algorithms. Real-time data integration could also provide more up-to-date information to users. The conclusion of this research is that this web-based decision support system can aid students and parents in selecting a suitable high school, with potential for further development to offer greater benefits.
