Decision Support System for Single Tuition Scholarship Awardees in Higher Education Using Mamdani Fuzzy Inference

Abstract

Universitas Madura implements the Single Tuition Fee (UKT) scholarship program in the Informatics department. The current UKT scholarship selection system uses a traditional model that is still not effective, causing obstacles such as inflexibility in registration time. The print-out documents are vulnerable to damage or loss and difficulty searching when it required. The criteria in the current system consisted of a minimum Grade Point Average (GPA) of 3, a letter of family condition, and also student status in semesters 3 to 7. The three criteria are not enough to determine a scholarship candidate. The recruitment process involves only the Head of the Study Program (Kaprodi). The Informatics study program still has many candidates applying for scholarships reaching around 280%. This research proposes a Decision Support System (DSS) using Fuzzy Mamdani with six criteria, including GPA, Achievement, Parents' Income, Parents' Dependents, Semester, and History of not receiving scholarships with the aim of overcoming these problems. The results show that the performance of the proposed SPK is very good, it is shown by the MAPE value of less than 10% and more efficient time than the current system. This system has also been in accordance with the required functions through the black test.

Application of The Fuzzy Mamdani Method in Determining KIP-Kuliah Recipients for New Students

“…In 2023, Kholifaturrahman et al conducted research for the provision of decision support system recommendations using fuzzy mamdani. this study obtained a MAPE evaluation value of less than 10% which means very good [14]. Tran Manh Tuan et al conducted research in 2020 to implement the Mamdani Complex Fuzzy Inference System with Rule Reduction Using the M-CFIS-R Measure.…”

Agile Implementation for Inventory (Case study: Business Unit of Private University)

“…Since its founding, this business unit has adopted a manual system in all recording processes, starting from purchases, sales, outgoing goods, and incoming goods using paper-based ledgers (hardcopy or paper-based systems). The implementation of this manual system has an impact that causes several problems, including 1) Risk of data loss and damage (Kholifaturrahman et al, 2023); Less effective and prone to errors in making reports (Rochman et al, 2018); 3) Increased risk of human error as transaction volume increases (Akesinro & Adetoso, 2016); 4) The process takes a long time, limited access, lack of integration, scalability problems, and inefficiencies in collaboration (Kaluvakuri & Amin, 2018). When there are problems with recording and reporting, it will cause new problems regarding inventory information.…”
