Promotion is a way to regenerate the members in organization to replace
a member with higher grade, assigned to other region, or retired. Promotion in
police affects the employee's performance to determine position in certain period.
The main key of a government agency development is affected by the qualified and
professional human resources. Formal and thorough evaluation of the employee's
achievement is necessary instead of assessing only based on several cases in
order to achieve fair evaluation. Taking a fair decision should be done by the
personnel and sub-personnel of Departmental (Resort) Police of Purbalingga to
find a good employee of all sectors who will be promoted. However, the reality of
promotion is still affected by informal information where the achievement is not
only based on particular cases. It causes subjective performance assessment. An
assessment which is based on the criteria-based formal information should be
done to get objective results. This issue became the background of this research.
This research's concern was to make a system that could give consideration in
deciding promotion for employees. By using SAW (Simple Additive Weighting)
method as the base of processing the data for employee's promotion,
it enables the system to give ranks based on the considered criteria existed. It was
expected that this system could ease the decision taker in determining the
employee who is worth the promotion. The result of this research was a
supporting system of promotion decision that can process the data of employee's
promotion to be a valid consideration.
