PEMILIHAN KETUA BEM FAKULTAS TEKNIK MENGGUNAKAN METODE TECHNIQUE FOR ORDER PREFERENCE BY SIMILARITY TO IDEAL SOLUTION
Abstract
The selection of the Chairperson of the Student Executive Board (BEM) of the Faculty of Engineering requires an objective, systematic decision-making approach given the increasing organizational complexity and leadership demands. This study aims to apply the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method to determine the most eligible candidate for BEM Chairperson based on multiple evaluation criteria. The criteria used include leadership ability, communication skills, organizational experience, proposed work programs, and the level of student support, with weights determined through expert judgment. The research employs a quantitative decision support system approach by normalizing decision matrices, applying weighted criteria, and calculating preference values for each alternative. The results show that Candidate 5 has the highest preference value, followed by Candidates 2 and 3, indicating that Candidate 5 is the most suitable candidate to be selected as BEM Chairperson. The findings conclude that the TOPSIS method is effective in providing a transparent, consistent, and accountable framework for supporting leadership selection decisions in student organizations.
