Brown sugar is the result of processing the coconut juice with a distinctive taste, so that its use cannot be replaced by other types of sugar. The purpose of this research is to design of Decision Support System (DSS) using a Multi Attribute Decision Making (MADM) model by applying Weighted Product (WP) method to determine the quality of brown sugar. WP method was chosen because the problem in this research is a ranking problem. The WP method is able to select the best alternative from a number of alternatives and its superiority in weighting technique. This system is designed by using PHP and MySQL as the database programming language. This system can rank the brown sugar by calculating the criteria weight. The weight value is searched for each attribute, then conduct the ranking process to determine the optimal alternative, which is the best brown sugar and decent in terms of ranking. Based on the tests performed, a system capable to produce the best ranking in accordance with the calculations used, so that the system this can be speed up the selection of brown sugar.
