Determination of Shoe Quality by Comparison of Two Methods for Improve Selection

Abstract

Using two methods in decision support according to some circles is very inefficient and redundant (excessive), because in terms of results will be the same. However, according to the author, it is not entirely true, sometimes comparing the two methods is necessary in increasing the confidence of the election (decision). Likewise, if we want to get something, we have to compare from several sources. So basically it will convince the choice (decision). The comparison of the two methods in this study is Simple Additive Weighted (SAW) and Weighting Product (WP) because it uses weight values as the basis of reference. The case told is choosing the quality of shoes based on the brand on the type of sport shoes (sports shoes). The purpose of this research is to determine the best shoe brand, but the main thing is to add value to the confidence of the choice because it has been tested by two methods.
