Comparison of SMART and SAW Methods in Decision Making

Abstract

In this study using a comparative analysis of SMART and SAW methods. The results of the SAW method calculation analysis have a faster processing time with a time of 0.40 s. While the SMART method calculation analysis has a longer processing time difference of 0.47 s. In this study the authors suggest using the SMART method. Where the process of calculating the SMART method has more varied results, because the criteria value between one candidate and another candidate influences each other. While the calculation of the SAW method results are less varied, because the criteria value between one candidate and another candidate does not affect each other. Weighting is done without an algorithm. In this study the authors suggest using the SMART method because there is a final value of <60 is not feasible given the provision of venture capital.
