Stunting occurs due to malnutrition which inhibits growth in toddlers. Stunting can also be caused by problems during pregnancy. This study aims to identify the risk of stunting during pregnancy and determine pregnant women who are at risk of this condition. By identifying and prioritizing critical factors that contribute to stunting in children under five, this research is expected to assist policy makers in developing effective solutions to reduce stunting rates. Handling the problem of stunting is important for the Government because it relates to the future generation of Golden Indonesia 2045. This study evaluates appropriate actions or therapies to reduce the risk of having children born with the potential to experience stunting. In the process of selecting pregnant women who are at risk of giving birth to children with the risk of stunting, a selection procedure is carried out that considers several factors such as the mother's age, mother's nutritional intake, arm circumference, hemoglobin level, parity, birth spacing, height, and mother's body mass index (BMI). The analytic network process (ANP) approach is used to determine the outcome of the selection process. The ranking is determined based on the calculation of the weighting of the criteria and sub-criteria in the ANP method. Based on the results of calculations using the ANP approach, PM 1 pregnant women get the highest score and are ranked first. These pregnant women are considered to have the highest risk of giving birth to babies with stunting risk.

Decision Support System couple the intellectual resource of individuals with the capabilities of the computer to improve the quality of decision. It's a computer based support system for management decision makers who deal with semi-structured problem. An integrated decision support system for use in an machine mollen product has been developed. It incorporates a linear Programming model that represents the contribution optimal and optimizes the production water pump and mollen machine. An optimization model is performed using a management scient model called linear programming approach in older to determine media selection. To use this model, the DSS needs ti interface with another software. Mathematical Programming is a technique used in mathematical models, particularly optimization models, to assist in decision making. The Simplex Method is "a systematic procedure for generating and testing candidate vertex solutions to a linear program." (Gill, Murray, and Wright, p. -137) It begins at an arbitrary corner of the solution set. At each iteration, the Simplex Method selects the variable that will produce the largest change towards the minimum (or maximum) solution. The  development of computer programs to be used as Decision Support Systems involves several tasks such as mathematical modeling, technical and data collection and development of a user friendly interface.
