Comparison of Analytical Hierarchy Process and Simple Additive Weightingon the Selection of Outstanding Employees

摘要

The selection of outstanding employees is part of the company’s efforts in managing human resources. This step becomes one of the determinants of the company’s progress because it aims to motivate employees increasing dedication and performance to the company. Each elected employee is awarded according to company’s ability. The selection is based on several criteria. Sometimes a company can’t determine a decision support method that suits the needs because each method has its own way. This research was conducted to study and compare multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) method in the selection of outstanding employees. Those methods are Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) with calculation using several criteria, such as selling, attendance, guest service, product description, and appearance. Comparison is based on the mean value, deviation value and consistency of each method. It is expected that this research can be used as a references for companies in choosing a method for decision analysis.
