The SIPK-GP 1.13 is a package of windows based information systems and decision-making with Indonesian as the default language. This makes the operation of SIPK-GP 1.13 becomes easy. Media interaction with the system is done by using a keyboard and mouse. The system can be operated on a computer with at least has a Pentium 4 processor, 1 GB of RAM, and has a software php, mysql and apache.

The union development model located in “Fokus Usaha” menu, has two sub-menus namely Analitycal Hierarchy Process (AHP) sub-menu and Composite Performance Index (CPI) sub-menu. The AHP sub-menu is limited for three participants (experts), so this is still static. It is still to be develop to make an open model, in which the number of participants may still be selected according to need. The result from “Seleksi Gapoktan” menu gapoktan selection for Gapoktan Sumber Makmur obtained yield was 84 or inferred pass the selection . The results of calculations on the “Kinerja Gapoktan” menu for Gapoktan Sumber Makmur obtained yield was 84 or are in good condition .

Through AHP and CPI sub- menu is concluded that the alternative business which became the primary choice for businesses focus of the union is horticulture farming . The results obtained from these models in the system in accordance with the calculations manually, so SIPK-GP 1.13 can be used to support the management of the union. Use of this system is expected to reduce the constraints on the performance of the union’s data unavailability and increase the reliability of the selection system of the union to receive the grant. The use of the system in the implemantation of PUAP program has a management implication both at central level and the farmers’ union. Implication at the central level such as need to do the application test to some unions and revised the general guidance of the program.
