ABSTRACT

The decision support system aims to provide information, guide, provide predictions
and direct information users so that they can make better decisions. So far, in the
process of selecting drug suppliers at Riau University Hospital, they only pay
attention to price and discount criteria. The difficulty in choosing a drug
supplier at Riau University Hospital is that there are problems with delays in
sending goods, inappropriate types of orders and warranties. Therefore, a decision
support system is needed that displays supplier feasibility reports based on the
required criteria, namely the provision of discounts, delivery times, quantity
accuracy and warranty. The Additive Ratio Assessment (ARAS) method is a
multicriteria decision-making method based on the concept of utility degree
ranking, namely by comparing the overall index value of each alternative, against
the optimal alternative overall index value. The design stages of this system have
four diagrams such as use case, activity, sequence and class diagrams. The result
of the decision support system of this study is PT. Kimia Farma Trading and
Distribution with a value of 1.
