Employee performance represents the ability to fulfill tasks and responsibilities according to organizational standards. At UPTD Puskesmas Kosambi, the evaluation of Non-Civil Servant (Non-ASN) healthcare workers is still done manually and tends to be subjective, primarily based on attendance. This study aims to address the issue by developing a decision support system using the MOORA (Multi-Objective Optimization on the Basis of Ratio Analysis) method. A descriptive-applied approach and the waterfall development model were employed. Five evaluation criteria were used: attendance (25%), service quality (35%), report timeliness (20%), patient complaints (10%), and lateness (10%). Data from 20 Non-ASN healthcare workers in April 2025 were analyzed, with Anis Julianti achieving the highest MOORA score of 0.3839. The system underwent validation through black-box testing and user acceptance testing (UAT), both confirming its accuracy and usability. The findings were compared with previous studies. Harningsih et al. (2024) used the MOORA method for promotion evaluations at the North Sumatra Provincial Inspectorate Office and recorded a top score of 0.3616. Dewi Yohana br Ginting et al. (2024) applied the method at a beauty clinic and found a top score of 0.3747. These comparisons indicate that the MOORA results in this study fall within a consistent and valid range. The developed decision support system is expected to enhance the objectivity, transparency, and accountability of performance evaluations for Non-ASN employees in primary healthcare services, offering a more comprehensive alternative to manual assessment methods.

Sitiung is a nagari in West Sumatra. It is located in Sitiung District, Dharmasraya Regency, West Sumatra Province. This Nagari has an area of about 32.27 km2 and is about 18 km from Punjung Island, the capital of the regency. It is also the administrative center of Sitiung Sub-district. Mapping was conducted in the area to determine the administrative boundaries between jorong and the topography of the nagari. A map is simply defined as a representation of an area in which symbols indicate information about the area. Due to the fact that maps indirectly serve as a communication tool between the creator and the person reading it, the captions relating to the contents of the map are very important. The more detailed and complete the information contained in the map, the better and higher quality it is. In addition, it is easier for readers and users to use it. Data collection in the field can be done in various ways. Administrative and Topographic maps will be produced from the measurements taken.

This study uses the Mean Value Analysis (MVA) approach to analyze the queuing system at the Mixue Ice Cream & Tea cashier counter on Jalan Pahlawan in Magelang City. The MVA method was chosen because it can handle general time distributions between arrivals and services. The research was conducted through direct observation and interviews over the course of two days, during which time data was collected on the time between arrivals and customer service. The analysis revealed that the system was not in a steady state, as the arrival rate (0.0122 customers per second) exceeded the service rate (0.0111 customers per second). High service variability (CV = 276.30%) compared to arrival variability (CV = 69.46%) indicates service instability. On average, customers waited 47.08 seconds, and the total time in the system was 137.17 seconds. These results are important because they indicate the need for increased efficiency and standardized services to prevent a decrease in service quality.
