<![CDATA[Padang State Polytechnic (PNP) is one of the state universities located in the city of Padang, which has 39 Learning Laboratory Institution Functional Officials, who were later told by PLP. PLP is a Civil Servant (PNS) who is given the task, responsibility, authority and right to carry out activities in the field of learning laboratory management. The problem that occurs is that the PLP does not know the exact time of application for promotion and functional positions of each. Some of the difficulties occur in managing the sub-division of personnel in finding archives. This article is always increasing and accumulating each period of acceptance. So this research aims to process this staffing data to make it easier and to accelerate the promotion process. The method used is the Decision Support System (DSS) in identifying priorities for proposals for functional promotion. The DSS method used is Technique For Order Preference By Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). The results of this study have the reliability in considering the shortest distance to the positive ideal solution and also the longest distance to the negative ideal solution. The alternatives and criteria used in this study consisted of 5 alternatives and 3 criteria. The value of ideal positive and negative solutions has a maximum value of K1 which is 0.66, K2 is 0.022, K3 is 0.05 and a minimum value of K1 is 0.1, K2 is 0.017, K3 is 0.022. The highest score in ranking is 2 people with a score of 1 and the lowest is 1 person with a score of 0.0008. So this research is very helpful in identifying promotion priorities appropriately.]]>
