<![CDATA[Promotion decisions are a strategic aspect of human resource management in the palm oil plantation sector, directly influencing operational effectiveness and productivity targets. This study compares two Decision Support System (DSS) methods, Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) and Weighted Product (WP), for determining Plantation Assistant promotions at PT Agrinas Palma Nusantara Kebun Ledo 1. Four company-defined criteria were applied: length of service (10%), work productivity (40%), work behavior (20%), and leadership (30%).Nine promotion candidates from Divisions 1–9 were evaluated. Both methods yielded consistent result, with Alternative 4 (Jumadi Asri – Assistant of Division 4) achieving the highest score and thus recommended for promotion. The findings confirm that SAW and WP can be effectively applied in plantation promotion decisions, tailored to company policies and operational needs.
