Decision Support System Application Evaluation of Transformer Isolation Condition with Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) Method

Abstract

The use of computer technology has spread among workers and companies. Therefore researchers recommend a system that can overcome the problem of assessing the conditions of transformer insulation at PT. Electricity System Cemerlang uses a computer system. The system that researchers use is a decision support system. Decision Support System or often called Decision Support System (DSS) is a model-based system that consists of procedures in data processing and consideration to assist managers in making decisions. In order to succeed in achieving its objectives, the system must be simple, robust, easy to control, easily adaptable to important things and easy to communicate with. Implicitly also means that this system must be computer-based and used as an addition to someone's problem solving capabilities. But to be able to use a decision support system properly, a method or an appropriate method is needed to get the right results. Therefore researchers recommend the method of Simple Additive Weighting (SAW). Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method is often also known as the weighted sum method. The basic concept of the method of Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) is to find a weighted sum of performance ratings on each alternative on all attributes.
