Multi-Attribute Decision Making Using Simple Additive Weighting and Weighted Product in Food Choice

Abstract

—This paper provide an overview of the analysis and implementation Multi-Attribute Decision Making (MADM) for food selection or food choice. Food choice aim to find the solution on lack of food. Food choice can be doing with diversification. Food diversification aims to find best choice of food alternatives. Food alternative is rice, corn, cassava, potato, sago, sorghum, wheat, and analog rice. The method used is Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) and Weighted Product (WP). The use of this method is expected to help and provide the best decision in food choice. Alternative on MADM as data training, alternative on SAW method and alternative on WP method as data testing. Experimental result on SAW method, best alternative (highest value) is wheat with value 0.8833. On WP method, best alternative (highest value) is wheat with value 0.1563. On SAW method and WP method, decision is the same with wheat as best alternative in MADM on food choice
