Product Feasibility Decision Support System at Kadai Tangkelek with the Weighted Product (WP) Method

Abstract

Speed and accuracy in work will be the key to the success of a company in providing satisfaction to its customers. The decision support system is also an interactive system that supports decisions in the decision-making process through alternatives obtained from the results of data processing, information and model design. Kadai Tangkelek Padang is a clothing business in West Sumatra that is well known to many tourists as souvenirs from West Sumatra, not only marketing clothes, they also sell other products such as bags and sandals, what happens is that the evaluation of the feasibility of a product is still done manually , so that feasibility calculations tend to be subjective and require a relatively long time. The purpose of this research is to assist companies in calculating product feasibility at Tangkelek Padang shops using the Weighted Product (WP) method. The Weighted Product (WP) method is a decision-making method by means of multiplication to link attribute ratings, where each attribute's rating must be raised to the first power of the attribute's weight. The result of this research is the creation of a system that can assist in the product feasibility decision-making process at the Tangkelek Padang Store, so that the final result of the calculation can determine whether the product is feasible or not suitable for distribution
