Abstract

This study aims to solve the problems in the recruitment of prospective BEM members at the Catholic University of Santo Thomas Medan. To select competent and fair members of the Student Executive Board (BEM) of the Catholic University of Santo Thomas Medan, several stages of selection are carried out. However, decision making in recruitment is prone to collusion and nepotism at the student level on campus. To overcome this, a decision support system (DSS) for the recruitment of BEM members was designed using the TOPSIS method. DSS was designed using the following criteria: minimum GPA of 3.00, experienced in student organizations, and to become the Chair of BEM must be a 7th semester student. The result of this study is a decision support system using the TOPSIS method. The result of the TOPSIS method calculation process is in the form of information on the selection of the Student Executive Board (BEM) at the Catholic University of Santo Thomas Medan and getting the results of the selection in the system.
