The discrepancy is caused by the composition of expertise or skills of employees who have not been proportionate. Therefore, it is necessary to have an assessment in determining promotions by taking into account several elements, including formal and informal elements. In both elements there are special criteria as a basis for making an assessment. The method used in this research is Soft System Methodology (SSM) using Analytical Hierarchy Process tools.
