DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM IN THE ELECTION OF THE OSIS CHAIRMAN

Introduction

Decision support system in the election of the osis chairman. Implement a Decision Support System (DSS) using Analytic Network Process (ANP) for quick, targeted, and accountable OSIS Chairman elections, helping students choose the best leader.

Abstract

Election of the Chairman of the council is a routine activity undertaken annually . This council was established with the purpose of connecting and delivering inspiration and aspirations of the students to be able to participate and help the teachers and staff in running programs and competitions are held. To help the student /student in selecting the Chairman of this council , we need a decision support system that is able to take decisions quickly , targeted and accountable by using Analytic Network Process (ANP). Analytic Network Process (ANP) method is used to determine the weight criteria according to the decision makers. Decision Support System is expected to help and provide an alternative in determining a person is worthy and deserve to be chairman of the council.

Review

This paper proposes a Decision Support System (DSS) to aid in the election of the OSIS (Student Council) Chairman, an annual activity crucial for student representation and school operations. The topic is relevant as it addresses a common organizational challenge in educational institutions: making informed, objective choices for leadership roles. The core idea of leveraging technology to streamline and enhance this process, ensuring that the selected individual is well-suited for the responsibilities, presents a valuable application of computational methods in a practical, real-world setting. The stated aim to achieve quick, targeted, and accountable decisions is particularly commendable in the context of student leadership. The proposed methodology centers on the Analytic Network Process (ANP) to determine criteria weights according to decision-makers. ANP is a robust multi-criteria decision-making method capable of handling dependencies and feedback among criteria and alternatives, which could be highly beneficial in a complex decision like candidate selection for a leadership role. However, the abstract leaves several critical details undefined. It is unclear who constitutes the "decision-makers"—are they students, teachers, or a combination? This distinction is vital as it directly impacts the weighting process and the perceived legitimacy of the system. Furthermore, while ANP is mentioned, there's no elaboration on the specific criteria that will be evaluated, how these criteria will be derived, or how the system will manage potential subjectivity in their assessment. Should this work proceed to a full paper, it would benefit greatly from a detailed exposition of the criteria development process, a clear definition of the stakeholders involved in the decision-making, and a discussion of how ANP's benefits (e.g., handling interdependencies) will be specifically leveraged. It would also be valuable to explore the practical implementation challenges, such as user acceptance among students and staff, and the data collection mechanisms for candidate evaluation. Ultimately, the DSS has the potential to offer a more structured and transparent alternative to traditional election processes, but its effectiveness and impact will hinge on the careful design of its underlying criteria and the engagement of its intended users.
