STRATEGIC PLANNING OF MONTHLY DONATION PAYMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM AT SMK AT-THOAT TOROH

Abstract

The development of a school, has an impact on the development of various services in the school. If school doesn’t improve the services, schools can lose competition, especially for private schools. The same thing happened at SMK At-Thoat Toroh. This Vocational High School, located in Grobogan Regency, Central Java, experiences significant development every year. One of the indicators is the increasing number of new students enrolling to the school. Even though the number of new students is increasing, At-Thoat Toroh Vocational School must still be able to serve the needs of all its students well. One form of this service is the payment of monthly donations. So far, students who will pay monthly contributions have to come to the teacher's office to meet the administration department. This often creates a crowd at the teacher's office door. Apart from being uncomfortable, it's certainly not a good thing in the midst of the current Covid-19 outbreak. In addition, the recording of monthly contributions by the administrative division is still done manually. This often causes disorder and confusion in recording student monthly contributions. Even though this record is very sensitive, because it relates to school finances. To overcome this problem, it is necessary to have a strategic planning of a monthly donation payment information system. This strategic planning uses the waterfall method and SWOT analysis. It aims to facilitate the analysis and process of making a monthly donation payment information system. The result of this research is the formulation of a monthly donation payment information system business strategy.
