Abstract. Salt is one of Indonesia's major commodities. However, the quality of industrial salt
in Indonesia is still an obstacle, so the need for industrial salt still relies on imported salt,
especially from Australia. Quality improvement is done through purification using the
recrystallization method. The use of a method that is still simple results in the salt being
produced still has an as-is quality. Quality is shown from the appearance of salt physically and
chemically. Good salt is shown by the crystal form which is smooth and has clear white color.
Therefore, good knowledge of salt quality must be known early, in addition to being able to
meet the Indonesian National Standard (SNI),in this way salt farmers will more easily improve
the quality of salt produced and can differentiate salt designation based on its quality category.
This study takes the theme of how to make decisions to determine the quality of salt, so that a
decision support system will be built to assist in determining good salt quality by using the
Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method. This method can support the decision making of
salt quality determination based on the weight of each attribute. Morever, the total score of the
end result can produce a good alternative decision in accordance with specified criteria, so that
it will produce salt quality.
1. The first section in your paper
Salt is an important commodity for people's lives. In addition to consumption, salt is also needed in
many industries, such as preservatives, cosmetics, medicines and as a mixture of other chemicals [1].
Indonesia has many islands, so it should be able to meet the needs of national salt, but in reality
Indonesia is still importing salt to meet national salt needs [2]. In other countries, salt can be produced
through underground mining deposits and also through the process of seawater crystallization [3].
Madura is one of the largest salt producing and supplying islands in Indonesia with an area of
15,000 hectares [3]. that is why this island is known as a salt island. In Madura, there is also the Salt
Science and Technology Center of Excellence which was initiated by the University of Trunojoyo
Madura (UTM) [3]. In addition, UTM also makes salt as one of the focus of its studies. Various kinds
of salt quality are produced in Madura, but so far it is not well recorded.
Based on NaCl content, water content and color of salt, there are three types of salt quality, namely:
KP I, KP II and KP III [4]. In this research, a decision support system for determining the quality of
salt will be built using a simple additive weighting (SAW) method with a case study of salt produced
by Madura salt farmers. The SAW method is a method of Multi-Attribute Decision Making (MADM)

[5]. This method is also often known as the weighted sum method [6]. The basic concept of the SAW
method is to find the weighted sum of the performance ratings for each alternative on all attributes [7].
Making Decision Support System (DSS) aims as a tool for government agencies and related
agencies to determine the quality of salt KP I, KP II, KP III. In addition, this system is expected to
help the government to determine and map regions and / or salt-producing land based on its quality.
2. Methods
Salt is not only for consumption materials, but also as raw material for various industries [8].
Madura is a salt producing area. The government through the ministry of technology research and
higher education has made Madura as a center of excellence for Salt Innovation [9]. University of
Trunojoyo Madura as one of the State Universities in Madura makes salt as one of its study focuses
[10]. Based on NaCl content, water content and salt color, there are three types of salt quality, namely:
KP I, KP II and KP III [4].
2.1. Simple Additive Weighting (SAW)
Simple Additive Weighting is known as the weighted sum method. The basic idea of the SAW method
is to find a weighted sum of the performance ratings for each alternative on all criteria. There are two
attributes in the SAW method, namely the benefit criterion attribute and the cost criterion attribute
[11]. The SAW method requires the decision matrix normalization process (X) to a scale that can be
compared with all available alternative ratings. This SAW method requires decision making to find
weight for each attribute. The total score for the alternative is obtained by adding up all the
multiplication results between the rating (which can be compared across attributes) and the weight of
each attribute. The rating of each attribute must be dimension free in the sense that it has passed the
previous matrix normalization process.
Many studies use self-methods to solve various types of problems, such as determining employee
salaries with achievement criteria, discipline, attitude, and length of work can be completed using the
SAW method [12]. The SAW method is also used to determine egg quality with criteria for Size of
Eggs, Styling or Color Eggshells, Eggshell Thickness, Extensive Shells, Shape Eggs and Eggshell
Cleanliness [13]. The same method is also used in research to determine the recipient of the
achievement scholarship with the criteria for the average value of the last report card, Attendance,
Good Behavior, Good Character and Active in Organizations (Extracurricular) [14]. SAW method has
a shorter execution time compared to the Weighted Product (WP) method [5].
The following are the completion steps using the SAW method:
1) Determine alternatives, namely Ai;
2) Determine the criteria as a reference in decision making, namely Cj.
3) Faithful criteria are given a matching rating value for each alternative.
4) Determine the weight of preference or level of importance (W) for each criterion. W = [W¹ W²
W³… Wj]

Make a match rating table of each alternative on each criterion.
6)
The matching rating table of each alternative in each criteria will be the basis for making a decision
matrix X. The value of X every alternative in each criterion (C j) has been determined, where, i =
1,2, .... m and j = 1,2, ..... n.

x_ij = Attribute value owned by each criterion.
Maxi x_ij = The biggest value of each criterion.
Mini x_ij = The smallest value of each criterion.
It is said that the profit criteria if the value of Xij provides benefits for decision makers, on the
contrary the cost criteria if Xij incurs costs for decision makers.
f. If it is in the form of profit criteria, the value of Xij is divided by Maxi (X ij) from each column,
while for the cost criteria, the value of Minᵢ (Xij).
8) The results of the normalized performance rating (Rij) form a normalized matrix (R)
(3)
rij = Normalized performance rating
r = Rating
9) The final preference value (Vi) is obtained from the sum of the multiplications of normalized
matrix row elements (R) with preference weights (W) corresponding to the matrix column elements
(W).

vi = Alternative Final Value
Wj = Weight that has been determined

The advantage of the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method compared to other decision support
system methods lies in its ability to conduct assessments more precisely because it is based on criteria
and weighting of the required level of importance. In the SAW method, it can also select the best
alternative from a number of alternatives then a ranking process is carried out in which the total
weighted values of all criteria are added after determining the weight value of each criteria [15].
