Bidder selection in public procurement is a decision making problem whose primary purpose is to achieve the cost effectiveness and efficiency in the expenditure of public money. This principle is also known as the principle of “value for money”. This selection is based on many alternatives and many quantitative and qualitative criteria where qualitative criteria are often expressed as linguistic uncertain variables. The theory of fuzzy sets is a tool suitable to model uncertainty when applied to a variety of problems in real life. However, many fuzzy methods require complex calculation and they are not appropriate for using in public procurement because they slow down this process. In this paper, in order to make a quick decision in public procurement, a Decision Support System based on the fuzzy extent analysis method is developed. In order to demonstrate the usefulness of this system, a real-life case scenario of public procurement is presented.

3642 Background: Precision oncology requires the identification of individual molecular pathomechanisms to find optimal personalized treatment strategies for every cancer patient. Incorporation of complex molecular information into routine clinical practice remains a significant challenge due to the lack of a reproducible, standardized process of clinical decision making. Methods: To provide a standardized process for molecular interpretation, we develop a precision oncology decision support system, the Realtime Oncology Molecular Treatment Calculator (MTC). MTC is a rule-based medical knowledge engine that dynamically aggregates and ranks relevant scientific and clinical evidence using currently 26,000 evidence-based associations and reproducible algorithm scoring of drivers, molecular targets to match molecular alterations to efficient therapies. To validate this novel method and system, we used data of the SHIVA01 trial of molecularly targeted therapy (Lancet Oncol 2015 16:1324-34). Molecular profiles of participants were uploaded to MTC and aggregated evidence level (AEL) values of associated targeted treatments were calculated, including those used in the SHIVA01 trial. Results: The MTC output provided a prioritized list of drugs associated with the driver alterations in the patient molecular profile, where ranking is based on AEL values. Of 113 patients who received targeted therapy with available clinical best response data, disease control was experienced in 63 cases (PR: 5, SD: 58), while disease progression occurred in 50 cases. The average AEL score for the therapies applied was significantly higher in the responsive group than in the non-responsive group (1512 and 614, respectively (p = 0.049)). In 94 cases, drugs other than those used for therapy were ranked higher by the MTC. The average AEL difference between the top-ranked and the used drugs was in an inverse correlation with clinical response, i.e. smaller differences associated with a better outcome. Conclusions: Results indicate that the aggregation of evidence-based tumor-driver-target-drug associations using standardized mathematical algorithms of this computational tool is a promising novel approach to improve clinical decisions in precision oncology. Further validation based on the results of other targeted clinical trials and real-life data using more detailed molecular profiles is warranted to explore the full clinical potential of this novel medical solution.

Wedding organizers, as one of the creative industries, often participate in a trade show as one of the marketing mediums. Many wedding-related trades show events are held every year. But the cost to participate in one trade show event is quite expensive and increases from time to time. Thus, before deciding to participate in a trade show, it is important to evaluate whether the trade show events are recommended to join or not. The purpose of this study is to design a decision support system that will help the wedding organizer to decide their participation in a trade show. The decision model was constructed using AHP and TOPSIS methods. There are seven factors considered in the model, i.e., tradeshow location, reputation and professionalism of the organizer, cost estimation, trade show prestige, tenant reputation, time of the event, the attractiveness of the event. By using the AHP method, the priority weight of each factor was calculated. Moreover, the weight obtained will be used in developing a decision model combined with the TOPSIS method. The decision support system was developed afterward by using the SCRUM method. The feature of the system is discussed in the paper.

BPJS Health is one of the most important services for the community. For people who are sick and have been registered in BPJS, then the cost of treatment will be borne by the BPJS and the community is what is said as Patient BPJS. However, if a patient BPJS experiencing pain, then the patient first went to the health center or Faskes level 1 before being referred to the Hospital. Therefore, this study aims to build decision support system that has the ability to analyze in determining referral hospital for Patient BPJS at puskesmas or Faskes level 1. The method used in this research is Weighted Sum Model (WSM). The hospital samples used as many as 10 obtained from UPT Puskesmas Padang Bulan, Jln. Jamin Ginting - Medan. Based on calculations performed obtained the highest value of 77.5, ie on RS3. Therefore, this hospital is the foremost hospital as a reference for Patients BPJS. This research is expected to help the Puskesmas or Faskes level I in the city of Medan in providing hospital referrals for patients BPJS.

The existence of the internet today provides benefits directly or indirectly to the business world, education, community and more, from small to large scale. With the internet facility data can be stored, retrieved and sent easily to all directions. So can not be denied the existence of internet website becomes the main requirement in providing the fastest information in globalization today. In the creditworthiness assessment conducted by PT. BFI Finance Indonesia Cirebon is still experiencing difficulties. The presentation of credit lending information is often delayed. One form of utilization of this facility is by making Decision Support System Online Loan Disbursement Using The Satisficing Model. This system will be used to analyze the personality and income of a person who will perform vehicle loans. By using this analytical method is expected to generate and simplify the process of acceptance of creditor candidates in accordance with the expected criteria so as to streamline the cost and time.

This paper focusses on the development of a tool for decision-making, tailored for personnel involved in complex Ship-To-Ship (STS) operations, to enhance the efficiency and safety of these operations. A step-wise approach has been selected. The first step includes specification, development and testing of the tool in a simulated work environment using full-mission simulators. In the second step the findings from application of the tool in the simulated work environment will be used to develop a prototype which will be tested during real life STS operations. This paper describes work done in the first of these two steps. During four iterations, a Graphical User Interface (GUI) has been made following Interaction Design (IxD) principles. The designs have been iteratively developed and tested by experienced ship's officers in a ship-handling simulator to clarify key information to enhance their Situation Awareness (SA) and decision-making process. In order to find indicators for performance, an initial performance test was carried out in a ship-handling simulator. The test indicates that a logic based Decision-Support System (DSS) can improve existing simulator-based training activities in STS operations.

School tuition fees are very influential on an educational institution, without the cost of school tuition fees experiences how an education agency Difficulties for students who can not afford. In making decisions 1 to Determine the cost of school tuition, especially in educational institutions. In educational institutions need to be supported by how much the school tuition fees will be paid. Educational institutions still Determine tuition fees manually. From the above problems, a decision support system (DSS) was made using the Simple Additive weighting method. Based on the calculation using the Simpe Additive weighting method for school tuition fees, the Reviews largest value is 2:55, 2.55so that alternatives A3, A5 are the alternatives to be chosen as alternatives entitled to pay school fees.
