Decision Support System Prototype for PLKN Selection Process is to assist the risk in
selecting an appropriate trainee for PLKN program. This research focuses on selecting
all youth aged 18 in the year according to the criteria that stated by government. Several

(merit). The criteria are represented in form of rules to make sure all the information is
qualified. The inference engine works by selecting rules for testing and then checking if
the condition for that rules are true and match with the condition provided. The
multidimensional arrays are used in to represent certain rules. In completing this
research, system development life cycle and system requirement engineering process
technique are follows. The decision support system helps in making effective and
reliable decisions to select the appropriate candidates. The result of this research is the
list of qualified or eligible candidates for every series of PLKN in selection year. As a
