Decision Support System for the Presidential Election of the Student Executive Board Using the Multi-Factor Evaluation Process Method

Student Executive Board is a student organization or executive institution found in every tertiary institution and can represent the existence of a tertiary institution. The student Executive Board is headed by the Student Executive Board President, who is assisted by the Secretary-General, three Coordinating Ministers, and several ministries that represent student needs. In carrying out its function as a forum for student aspirations to make changes (agents of change) in paradigm, emotional, intellectual, and religious values, the Student Executive Board requires student candidates who are in synergy with their vision and mission. The Student Executive Board Presidential Election is usually held every year. A decision support system (DSS) was built by implementing the Multi-Factor Evaluation Process (MFEP) method to easily and efficiently elect the Student Executive Board President quickly and efficiently. The criteria used are communication skills (C1), leadership attitude (C2), vision and mission (C3), skills (C4), and organizational experience (C5). Each criterion is weighted where the total weight of all criteria equals 1. Next, calculate the evaluation weight value (EW), total evaluation weight (TEW), and ranking. The research results show that alternative 7 (A7), with the highest score of 4.35, is the student candidate with the top ranking, meaning A7 is the most recommended to be elected as President of the Student Executive Board. With this DSS, we can provide appropriate recommendations for Student Executive Board Presidential candidates and assist universities and students in carrying out the selection process quickly and efficiently.
