Implementation of Internship Decision Support System Using Simple Multi Attribute Rating Technique (SMART)

Internship is a program to introduce students to the industry. This research was conducted based on an internship program held at the Department of Computer Engineering and Informatics at the Bandung State Polytechnic. This internship program is managed by an internship coordinator whose role is to create a list of companies and gather student data. The competencies required by companies and competencies that student have needs to be mapped. Therefore, an Internship Decision Making System using Simple Multi Attribute Rating Technique (SMART) method is developed. This system can be used by the internship coordinator to assign student according to their competencies and interests. From the results of research conducted on 26 interns and 5 companies, data on student placements was obtained which was sorted based on the level of match between student competencies and company needs. From the SMART calculation, the highest utility is 276.71 from the SMART calculation at the Goodsilron company obtained by Ella. This value indicates that Ella is not very suitable for internships at the Goodsilron. Meanwhile, the lowest utility is 15.4 which obtained from Anna who is placed in Condax which shows that Anna is very suitable for internships at the Condax company
