The selection of Calcium Milk Products that are appropriate for advanced age using PROMETHEE II Algorithm

The selection of Calcium Dairy Products that are suitable for old age uses the PROMETHEE II Algorithm. This study aims to recommend calcium milk products that are appropriate for elderly people based on consumer selection. This research was conducted in Simalungun district using interview techniques, observation and questionnaires to 350 elderly respondents randomly. This study also uses a quantitative data approach, which is testing four calcium milk products (alternatives) that are considered appropriate for use in old age. The four dairy products are widely used for the elderly, namely: Anlene Gold (A1), Entrasol (A2), Prolansia (A3) and Appeton 60+ (A4). The assessment criteria used in the selection of calcium milk recommendations appropriate for old age are: price (C1), content (C2), side effects (C3) and taste variants (A4). The solution used is to use a decision support system with PROMETHEE II algorithm. The results of PROMETHEE II calculation show that Anlene (A1) is obtained as the first recommendation of the right calcium milk with a value (net flow 0.5) and Appeton 60+ (A4) as the second recommendation with a value (net flow 0.484).
