ShapeSift is a framework for supporting sustainability-based decision making during selection of similar previous designs from part repositories. Our framework is designed for 3D part repositories that contain metadata pertaining to materials and manufacturing processes as well as the functionality of a given part. To demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed framework we develop an example multi-dimensional visualization that encodes part similarities as well as a calculated environmental sustainability indicator. This visualization is incorporated in a prototype interface that focuses on enhancing the intuitiveness of the exploration process by the use of sketch-based retrieval.

The selection of manufacturing processes for a given application is a complex problem of multicriteria decision-making although there have been several different approaches that can be utilized to select a suitable alternative. However, identifying appropriate multicriteria decision-making approach from the list of available methods for a given application is a difficult task. This work suggests a methodology to assess different selection approaches, which are the technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS), analytic hierarchy process (AHP), and VIKOR: stepwise procedure. This valuation was done depending on the following factors: number of alternative processes and criteria, agility through the process of decision-making, computational complexity, adequacy in supporting a group decision, and addition or removal of a criterion. A case study in this study was presented to analyse the evaluation methodology. The criteria used to evaluate and identify the best manufacturing process were categorized into productivity, accuracy, complexity, flexibility, material utilization, quality, and operation cost. Five manufacturing processes were considered, including gravity die casting, investment casting, pressure die casting, sand casting, and additive manufacturing. The results showed that each approach was suitable for the problems of manufacturing process selection, in particular toward the support of group decision-making and uncertainty modelling. Manufacturing processes were ranked based on their respective weights for AHP, TOPSIS, and VIKOR, and sand casting is the best. In terms of computational complexity, the VIKOR method performed better than TOPSIS and AHP. Moreover, the VIKOR and TOPSIS methods were better convenient to the selection of manufacturing processes for agility during the process of decision-making, the number of alternative processes and criteria, adequacy in supporting a group decision, and addition or removal of a criterion.

A methodology developed specifically for the evaluation of requirements of materials intended to high-demanding applications is the stringency levels methodology. The objective of this work is to perform a sensitivity analysis of the methodology of multicriteria stringency levels for the evaluation of technological requirements of materials, creating a new methodology that provides a final results studying variability that let us make an objective decision. The case study has been the evaluation of steels used in the manufacture of components housed in the primary loop of a nuclear power plant. To ease the calculation of the stringency levels, the algorithm has been computed in Labview®. Considering the dispersion that can generate the numerical weighting process, the analysis has shown that the variability in calculated values is not significant. The analysis proposed with this methodology could be used, in the future, for the selection of materials for innovative manufacturing processes.

All colleges each year organize the selection of new admissions. Acceptance of prospective students in universities as education providers is done by selecting prospective students based on achievement in school and college entrance selection. To select the best student candidates based on predetermined criteria, then use Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) or commonly called decision support system. One method in MCDM is the Elimination Et Choix Traduisant la Reality (ELECTRE). The ELECTRE method is the best method of action selection. The ELECTRE method to obtain the best alternative by eliminating alternative that do not fit the criteria and can be applied to the decision SNMPTN invitation path.

The head of the environment is an extension of the head of the village head in assisting or providing services to the community both in the administration of administration in the village and to other problems. It is natural for a kepling to be appreciated for their performance during their special tenure in the kecamatan field area. Previously, the selection of a dipling in a sub-district was very inefficient and seemed unfair for this exemplary selection to use a system to produce an accurate value, and no intentional element. To overcome the process of selecting an exemplary kepling that experiences these obstacles by using an application called a Decision Support System. Decision Support System (SPK) is a system that can solve a problem, and this system is also assisted with several methods, namely the Rank Order Centroid (ROC) method that can assign weight values to each of the criteria based on their priority level. And to do the ranking or determine an exemplary set using the Additive Ratio Assessment (ARAS) method, this method provides decision making that takes decisions based on ranking or the highest value.Keywords: Head of Medan Area Subdistrict, SPK, Centroid Rank Order, Additive Ratio Assessment (ARAS).

The teacher is a major milestone in the world of education, the ability and achievement of students cannot be separated from the role of a teacher in teaching and guiding students. Based on the Law of the Republic of Indonesia No. 14 of 2005 concerning Teachers and Lecturers, in Article 1 explained that teachers are professional educators with the main task of educating, teaching, guiding, directing, training, evaluating, and evaluating students in early childhood education through formal education, basic education and education medium. Whereas in Article 4 of the Act, it is explained that the position of teachers as professionals serves to enhance the dignity and role of teachers as learning agents to function to improve the quality of national education.Decision making is an election process, among various alternatives that aim to meet one or several targets. The decision-making system has 4 phases, namely intelligence, design, choice and implementation. These phases are the basis for decision making, which ends with a recommendation.The Preferences Selection Index (PSI) method is a rarely used decision support system method. This method is a method developed by stevanie and Bhatt (2010) to solve the Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM). With the right consideration, this method can be one of the tools to determine policies in decision-making systems, especially the selection of outstanding teachers. Determination of policies taken as a basis for decision making, must use criteria that can be defined clearly and objectively.Keywords: Decision Support System, PSI, Selection of Achieving Teachers

This paper describes the development of decision support system application to assist students who want to enter college so that no one choose the majors incorrectly. This application uses fuzzy logic method because fuzzy logic is very flexible in data which are vague and can be represented as a linguistic variable. The purpose of this application is to assist students to choose available majors at University Multimedia Nusantara which are appropriate with his/her capabilities. This application accepts five kinds of input values i.e. Mathematics, Indonesian, English, Physics, and TIK. Received input will be processed by the calculation of the system for decision-making and the application will generate output that shows how great a match for each majors. With this application, prospective students can find out where the majors that match his/her capabilities. This application has ninety nine percentage of match result accuracy. Index Terms—fuzzy logic, decision support system, UMN, selection of major
