PENERAPAN METODE ENTROPI-SAW (SIMPLE ADDITIVE WEIGHTING) SEBAGAI SISTEM PENDUKUNG KEPUTUSAN DALAM PEMILIHAN KEPALA LABORATORIUM DI SMPN 8 KOTA PASURUAN

APPLICATION OF THE ENTROPY-SAW (SIMPLE ADDITIVE WEIGHTING) METHOD AS A DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM IN THE SELECTION OF LABORATORY HEADS AT SMPN 8 PASURUAN CITY

Laboratorium sekolah membutuhkan pengelolaan yang tepat dari pihak tenaga laboratorium, khususnya bagi kepala laboratorium yang berperan besar dalam mengatur pelaksanaan kegiatan pembelajaran di laboratorium. Dalam pemilihan kepala laboratorium di SMPN 8 Kota Pasuruan, dilakukan penunjukan langsung oleh kepala sekolah yang kurang mempertimbangkan aspek-aspek penting sesuai standar kualifikasi dan kompetensi sehingga berpotensi menyebabkan hasil keputusan tidak tepat. Penelitian ini mempunyai tujuan untuk menerapkan metode Entropi-SAW (Simple Additive Weighting) sebagai sistem pendukung keputusan dalam pemilihan kepala laboratorium berdasarkan kriteria yang sudah dievaluasi. Sistem pendukung keputusan dikembangan menggunakan pendekatan model RAD (Rapid Application Development) melalui tahap perencanaan persyaratan, desain sistem, pengembangan, dan implementasi. Penerapan metode Entropi berhasil menentukan bobot kriteria secara ideal sesuai tingkat kepentingan dengan total keseluruhan bobot sebesar 1. Penerapan metode SAW menghasilkan peringkat alternatif terbaik pada urutan pertama, yaitu Yuli Winanti, M.Pd. dengan total nilai preferensi sebesar 0,93194. Pengujian sistem pendukung keputusan ini, menunjukkan bahwa tingkat akurasi metode Entropi-SAW mencapai 99,27% termasuk kualitas sangat kuat dan tingkat validitas fungsi sistem mencapai 100%. Penerapan metode Entropi-SAW sebagai sistem pendukung kuputusan mampu memberikan rekomendasi keputusan dengan tepat dalam pemilihan kepala laboratorium melalui penilaian yang objektif dan transparan. 

School laboratories require proper management by laboratory staff, especially the laboratory head, who plays a major role in organizing learning activities in the laboratory. In selecting the laboratory head at SMPN 8 Kota Pasuruan, the principal made a direct appointment without considering important aspects in accordance with qualification and competency standards, which could potentially lead to inappropriate decisions. This study aims to apply the Entropy-SAW (Simple Additive Weighting) method as a decision support system in selecting laboratory heads based on evaluated criteria. The decision support system was developed using the RAD (Rapid Application Development) model approach through the stages of requirements planning, system design, development, and implementation. The application of the Entropy method successfully determined the ideal criteria weights according to their level of importance, with a total weight of 1. The application of the SAW method produced the best alternative ranking in first place, namely Yuli Winanti, M.Pd., with a total preference score of 0.93194. Testing of this decision support system showed that the accuracy level of the Entropy-SAW method reached 99.27%, which is a very strong quality, and the validity level of the system function reached 100%. The application of the Entropy-SAW method as a decision support system was able to provide accurate decision recommendations in the selection of laboratory heads through objective and transparent assessments.
