Abstract

Determining the best dean's list is one of the steps to motivate students to complete their studies at a tertiary institution. However, the process of determining the best candidate dean's list is not an easy thing to make decisions consistently and transparently. So, in this study we combined the AHP and Profile Matching Method, as well as a linear interpolation model with criteria grade point averages (GPA) obtained, subjects taken and criteria repeated subjects. This study aims to provide specific knowledge about how to combination of the AHP-Profile Matching method and the linear interpolation model in building the best Dean's List decision support system. Where the two methods work together to determine the best dean's list according to their respective rules, namely the AHP method to calculate priority levels and criteria consistency values, while the Profile Matching method, to match data values with target data, determine the weight of competency GAP values, calculate the ranking value of each candidate with a priority level value obtained from the results of the calculation by AHP method, and calculating the mapping weight value in decimal form can use the linear interpolation model which will be used as the weight of the competency GAP value. The results showed that the two methods were successfully combined and were able to determine the consistency ratio for each criterion rating scale of 0,030, and were able to determine the best dean's list of 52 candidates, with the highest ranking value of 5,388.
