Abstract
Selection program of the best elementary school in Indonesia aims to spur the
development of the growth and improve the quality of the primary school. In this paper,
the selection of the best elementary school is implemented based on predefined criteria.
To help the selection process, a decision support system is needed. This paper employs
Weighted Sum Model (WSM) and Multi Atribute Decesion Making Weighted Product
(MADMWP) methods. The results of both methods were tested three times with three
periods from the ranked data of schools obtained from Department of Education in
Simalungun, North Sumatera, Indonesia. This system can be used to help in solving
problems of the best elementary school selection.
Keywords: Decision support system; Weighted product; Weighted sum model;

1. Introduction
Presently, high schools are overwhelmed with huge amounts of information regarding
student's enrollment, number of courses completed, achievement in each course,
performance indicators and other data [1]. This has led to an increasingly complex
analysis process of the growing volume of data and to the incapability to take decisions
regarding curricula reform and restructuring [2]. Children needs to undergo the school
period, therefore schools should be the most favorite place for them to active such as
learning, playing and developing creativity [3]. To realize the comfortable and pleasant
learning arena, it is necessary to hold the elections of the best school in each region to
determine the quality of schools [4]. To determine which one is best school of a particular
region, a system that is commonly called a decision support system is needed. Decision
Support System is a computer-based system that accumulates a variety of information
from various sources, present into organized form, analyze and facilitate the evaluation of
the assumptions underlying the usage of certain models [5]. This decision support system
usually uses the Weighted Sum Model (WSM) and Multi attribute decesion Making
Weighted Product (MADMWP) methods. The processes on WSM methods and
MADMWP are not much different. Calculation processes performed by the WSM method
are simply to add the multiplication result of an alternative value with weighted criteria
[6]. Meanwhile, in the MADMWP method, it is calculated by multiplying the result
reappointment criteria values with weighted criteria [7].

The WSM and MADMWP methods can help in determining the best schools, but in
counting only generate the greatest value will be chosen as the best alternative. The
calculation will be in accordance with this method, if the alternative is selected to meet
the specified criteria [8]. This method was chosen because it can determine the values for
each attribute, followed by the selection of the best alternative, in this case the best
alternative is the first ranked school based on the criteria that have been determined [9].
This study develops a decision support system that aims to solve the problems in the
selection of the best elementary schools in the region Simalungun, North Sumatera,
Indonesia using the WSM and MADMWP methods. The developed application system
will be addressed to the head of UPT (Technical Implementation Unit) Department of
Education of Simalungun in two sub-districts i.e. Dolok Pardemean and Bandar
Simalungun, where these two districts are the samples used in this study. Through this
system, considering into several factors such as the quality of teachers, the quality of
students, facilities and infrastructure of the Department of Education, it is expected to be
able to determine the best elementary school (SD) in the region, then the results are
published to parents of prospective students so that they know and can select which
school is the best for their children.
The rest of this paper is organized as follow. Section 2 presents related work on
decision support system. Section 3 presents material and method used. Section 4 presents
results and following by discussion. Finally, the conclusion of this work is presented in
Section 5.
2. Rudimentary
2.1. Decision Support System
Decision Support System is a computer-based system that accumulates a variety of
information from various sources, present into organized form, analyze and facilitate the
evaluation of the assumptions underlying the usage of certain models [5]. A decision can
be defined as a choice that has been taken from two or more available alternatives [10].
Each person must make many decisions every day. Potential option of a judgment is
formed after learning objective and the alternative minimum [11]. Decision Support
System can also be defined as a computer-based information system that combines
models and data in an attempt to solve the problem of semi-structured and some
unstructured problems with user intervention [12]. Decision Support System can provide
an informative analysis to improve the efficiency of decision-making within an
organization [13]. Decision Support System, including the decision models, data, and the
user interface are very important unity [14].
2.1.1. Decision Support System Components

Decision Support System must have three components that determine technical
capabilities of Decision Support Systems [15] i.e.:
a. Sub-system Management Database, which is a sub-systems that manage the data by
entering a database containing relevant data and managed by software.
b. Sub-system Base Management Model, which regulates all issues sub-system
integration and data access models of the existing decision in a Decision Support
System.
c. Sub-system Software Operator Dialogue. This sub-system includes all relations
between Decision Support Systems and Users.

2.1.2. Decision Support System Requirements

According to Bidgoli, the terms of a decision system [16] is given as follow:
a. Requires hardware
b. Requires software
c. Requires people (designers and users)
d. Designed to support a decision
e. Should be able to help decision makers at every level of decision, and
f. Emphasizing the problem of unstructured and semi-structured.
2.1.3. Steps of Decision Making Process

The necessary steps in the process of decision making according to [15], are given as
follow:
a. Intelligence
 Forming the perception of the faced situation is to recognize the
decisionsituations and defining the main characteristics that exist in these
situations
 Build a model that represents the situation
A model is a vehicle to assist in estimating the likely impact of a decision
situation.
 Quantitative selection of the size of the fee (disbenefits) and the most appropriate
benefits for the faced situation.
b. Design
The selection of the specific alternatives that are formed by identifying and
formulating clear steps can be performed.
c. Selection
 Evaluate the benefits and costs (disbenefits) of all alternative measures, namely
the ratings due to the application of any alternative measures by using
measurements of costs and benefits.
 Establish criteria to select the best step, namely the adoption of legislation by
correlating the results with the aim of making a decision.
 Completion of the decision situation i.e taking a step on the basis of acceptable
criteria.
The steps above can be done repeatedly, either whole or partial steps. It is carried out
continuously until the decision situation completely resolved.
2.1.4. Characteristics and Decision Support System Capabilities

In respect of the number of the definition put forward regarding the definition and
implementation of a Decision Support System, affecting there are many views on the
system [17]. Decision Support System has characteristics and abilities [18], namely:
a. Supports all activities of the organization
b. Supports several decisions that interact can be used repeatedly and constantly
c. There are two main components, namely data and models
d. Using big external and internal data
e. Having the ability what-if analysis and goal seeking analysis
f. Using some quantitative models
2.2. Weighted Sum Model (WSM)

The WSM is the general model which has been used for different applications such as
robotics, processing data, and others [19]. It is a method often used in single dimension
issues [20]. If there are alternatives m and n criteria, then according to [21] the best
alternative can be formulated as follows:
Copyright ⓒ 2017 SERSC 71

Vol. 11, No. 4 (2017)
n
AiWSMScore   w j aij , for i  1,2,3,, m
j 1
(1)
where i  1,2,3,, m is the value of the best alternative, n is the number of criteria,
an alternative value i the criteria j, are value criteria j and max used to sort the
alternativedecision where alternatives have the greatest value will be placed on top [21].
The difficulty in this method is when the criteria used is not a single or multi-dimensional
criteria dimensions. In these problems, then the existing criteria should be lumped into the
same dimensions [21].
The following examples will be given to further clarify. There is a problem in
choosing the best alternative among A1, A2, A3, A4 and A5. While the criteria that
determine the selection process is K1, K2 and K3. The values of criteria and criterion
value of each alternative are shown in Table 1.
Table 1. Sample of Value Criteria

Criteria K1 K2 K3
Alternative 0.3 0.4 0.3
A1 15 10 10
A2 20 10 15
A3 30 15 10
A4 20 25 15
A5 15 15 10
Based on Table 1, are known value that is given to the criteria K1 is 0.3 or 30%, the
criterion K2 is 0.4 or 40% and the criterion K3 is 0.3 or 30%. Then to calculate the value
of each alternative used WSM formula in equation (1). Based on the formula in equation
(1), A4 is selected as the best choice, because the value of A4 is the highest value of all
the available alternatives. The result can be seen in the Table 2 as follow:
Table 2. Ranking Results of WSM

Alternative WSM values
A4 23.5
A3 18
A2 14.5
A5 13.5
A1 11.5
2.3. Multi Atribute Decision Making Weighted Product (MADMWP)

The MADMWP is similar to WSM and also referred to as Multiplicative Exsponent
Weighting (MEW). This is another model of MADM scoring, the main difference is
instead of adding the usual in mathematical operations, but now it is multiplication. The
MADMWP is a finite set of alternative decisions described in terms of some criteria for
decision [22]. Preference for alternative Si is given as follows:

Vol. 11, No. 4 (2017)
n
S i   xijwi (2)
j 1
where
S = Alternative preference analogous to the vector S
xij = The variable value of the alternatives on each attribute
wi = Value weight criteria
n = The number of criteria
i = alternative value
j = value criteria
n
where w
j 1
j  1.w j is the rank of positive value to attribute profits, and negative values
to attribute costs. Relative preference of each alternative, given as:
x
j 1

(3)
x
j 1
*
j
where
v : Alternative preference analogous to a vector v
x : Values Criteria
w : Weights Criteria / Sub criteria
i : Alternative
j : Criteria
n : The number of criteria
Example of WSM will be used also to explain the formula of this MADMWP as given in
Table 3 as follow.
Table 3. Sample Weight Value Criteria

A5 15 15 10
The MADMWP value calculation will be done using the formulas in equations (2) and
(3). From the above results, it can be seen which one is the best alternative, and the results
can be seen in Table 4 as follow:

3.4. Problem Analysis

Simalungun Regency particularly the sub district of Dolok Pardemean and the sub
district of Bandar have an election program of the best elementary school that will be
done every year. The selection is done to determine the elementary school which deserves
to be the best elementary school in the region to serve as the core elementary school and
sequential. In addition, the selection of primary school is also intended to motivate every
school principal to be more active and more concerned in improving the quality of
primary school he leads. To choose the best schools, the calculations performed involving
data and in the process a bit easier there was an error when done manually. With the
Decision Support System for the selection of the best primary schools, the calculation
process will become easier and accurate [23]. Because the system is only intended to

4. Results and Discussion

Implementation is a stage that must be passed in the software development
process of a system. This phase is carried out after the first through the stages of
analysis and design of systems that have been described in the previous chapter.
4.1. Implementation of WSM

Application of WSM Method in the system that has been developed on the calculation
process in determining the best elementary school in Simalungun is presented in this
section. The elementary school is an alternative decision is not of the whole area
Simalungun but only on the two sub-districts i.e. Bandar Simalungun and Dolok
Pardemean. To obtain the value of each alternative WSM is multiplication value data
weighting criteria with predetermined criteria of all alternatives. Then the result of
multiplying the data value criteria with criteria weights are summed to obtain the value of

4.2. Implementation of MADMWP

Implementation of MADMWP method in a system that has been developed on the
calculation process in determining the best elementary school in Simalungun is presented
in this section. The elementary school is an alternative decision is not of the whole area
Simalungun but only on the two sub-districts i.e. Bandar Simalungun and Dolok
Pardemean. The MADMWP value of each alternative is obtained from the data value
criteria raised to weight criteria which are then multiplied the result reappointment. Value
criteria must be at least equal to one because the results of the calculation of this
MADMWP method will be zero if there is a value of zero criteria [26]. This happens
because this method uses the multiplication operator when a value multiply by zero, the
result will be zero. Here is a sample data of elementary school is an alternative in the
selection of the best elementary school in Simalungun.

The weight values set out in the selection of the best elementary school can be seen in
table 13 below.
Table 13. Weight Criteria Value

Criteria Weight (%)
Student scores 10
Discipline 10
Behaviour 10
Teacher education 20

SDN 091619 Perdagangan 1.00^0.2 1^0.1 1^0.1 56^0.1
4.2.3. Step 3: MADMWP value of each Alternative is Obtained

Then multiplying the alternative result reappointment criterion value with value
weighting criteria to gain value of MADMWP as can be seen in Table 15 below.

Elementary school MADMWP value

SD 0911635 Kerasaan 1.514*1.182*1.186*1.226*1*1*1*1.292 = 3.361
SDN 091618 Perdagangan 1.506*1.176*1.173*1.306*1*1*1*1.148 = 3.114
SDN 091619 Perdagangan 1.507*1.182*1.189*1.245*1*1*1*1.495 = 3.942
Based on table 4.8 alternatives that have highest value is SDN 091619 Perdagangan
with MADMWP value 3.942 andthe lowest is SDN 091618 Perdagangan.
4.3. Testing Systems

System testing is performed to determine how the system performance in the process
of calculation in determining of the Best Elementary School uses WSM and MADMWP
methods. The results of both methods will be compared with data from the three periods
of the best Elementary School there is in Simalungun.

4.3.4. Comparative Testing Results Calculation Method of WSM and MADMWP

After three rounds of tests performed by the system against three ranked data period of
elementary school in Simalungun, the test results can be expressed in the Table 16. There
is a difference in results between the results of calculations by the method of WSM and
MADMWP. The results of calculations by the method of WSM in the three periods
showed similar results. Meanwhile, the results of the calculation with MADMWP method
change in the third period. From the three periods tested, the method of WSM has higher
compatibility than the method of MADMWP with data ratings from elementary schools in
Simalungun, Indonesia.
5. Conclusion
In this paper, comparison of weighted sum model and multi attribute decision making
weighted product methods in selecting the best elementary school in Indonesia has been
presented. Based on the results of the implementation and testing of the Decision Support
System using WSM and MADMWP in determining the best elementary school in
Simalungun, it can be concluded that:

Vol. 11, No. 4 (2017)
a. The system can solve the problems of the selection of the best elementary school in
Simalungun by implementing the method of WSM and MADMWP on the systems.
b. The results obtained from the calculation of the system are only as a reference for
users to solve problems in determining of the best elementary school in Simalungun.
c. After testing the three periods of data ranked schools which are owned by the
department of education in Simalungun, the results from WSM showed higher
accuracy than that MADMWP. Thus, in the case of the selection of the best
elementary school in Simalungun, suitability of WSM is higher than that MADMWP.
By using this system, users will be easier to determine the best elementary school.
