Penerapan Metode Entropy –Vikor Pada Sistem YPI Ash-Shohabiyah Dalam Penentuan Bantuan Beasiswa

Abstract

Scholarship provision is one of the efforts made by various institutions or foundations to help students who excel academically but face economic constraints or limitations. However, the selection process is often conducted manually, making it less effective, less objective, and time-consuming while increasing the possibility of errors. Therefore, this research aims to combine the Entropy method for weight determination and the VIsekriterijumsko KOmpromisno Rangiranje (VIKOR) method for ranking. The results of this research show that the system is capable and successful in properly displaying rankings of those who are eligible and ineligible to receive scholarship assistance. Testing using manual scholarship calculation data previously conducted by the foundation showed that the first-ranked candidate remained the same in both manual calculations and the Entropy-VIKOR method, while the second and third ranks differed, which also occurred for several lower rankings. The system usability test using questionnaires also yielded positive results: the foundation's intention to use the system again received a percentage value of 78%, system complexity received 46%, and system ease of use received 80%. Calculations using the Entropy method worked well in determining the weight of each predetermined criterion. Rangking using the VIsekriterijumsko KOmpromisno Rangiranje (VIKOR) method also performed very well in determining the final results, namely student rankings based on the results of Si, Ri, and Q values, The alternative becomes better as the value gets smaller.
