The Implementation of Simple Additive Weighting Method in deciding Apprentice Assistant

Abstract

An internship is a mandatory course to be taken by a sixth-grader. Students should finish the course by either apprenticing or making a product in the form of software. The problem often is that students enroll and choose partners. The student files already stored should be matched to the data of the previous semester conventionally. Another problem is that students select partners based not on the field of interest but based on following their friends. Students have difficulty completing an apprenticeship. Therefore, the study examined the identification of an apprentice by using the simple, adapting method, the research object was the student of the semester VI apprentice, the method of storing data using literature, observation, and interviews. Research results from simple standard weighting show K1 criteria at 0.75, K2 at 0.5, structural criteria at 0.25, and requirement criteria of 1. The results of the accuracy test are 80% so that the SAW method can be developed as a decision support system in determining internship lecturers based on the student's field of interest.
