Analysis of Factor Causing Downtime on Drum Coolers at PT X
This study aims to explore the various factors causing downtime in the Cooler Drum machine at PT X and identify the main factors contributing to the machine's reliability. The method used was a descriptive quantitative approach, collecting data through field observations, interviews with technicians, and downtime logs. The data were analyzed using Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA), Fishbone Diagrams, and Pareto Diagrams to identify the root causes of failures. The findings of this study indicate that Plant NPK 2 performed the lowest, with 85.74 hours of downtime, an MTBF of 866.48 hours, and an MTTR of 12.24 hours. Meanwhile, Plant NPK 4 performed the best, with only 4.16 hours of downtime, an MTBF of 2465.39 hours, and an MTTR of 1.39 hours. Based on the Pareto analysis, approximately 75% of the total downtime was caused by four main factors: bearing damage, chain drum impact, rubber inlet leaks, and trunion shaft fractures. The FMEA analysis showed that the fluid coupling and shaft trunion had the highest RPN values (144 and 90), indicating a significant risk of failure. The Fishbone Diagram results indicated that machine factors and maintenance methods were the most important causes, followed by human, material, and environmental factors. Recommended improvements include optimizing preventive and predictive maintenance, improving operator discipline, ensuring the availability of critical spare parts, and controlling the work environment to reduce failure rates and improve operational continuity. This study confirms that implementing an effective maintenance program has a direct impact on reducing downtime and increasing company productivity

Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa destilasi uap menghasilkan rendemen dan kualitas minyak atsiri terbaik, dengan kisaran rendemen tertinggi (94,38%), kadar sitronelal (27,87-55,78%), dan geraniol (11,85-22,77%). Secara comparatif, metode maserasi dengan pelarut metanol menghasilkan rendemen 11,64%, lebih tinggi daripada n-heksana (5,08%). Minyak atsiri yang dihasilkan dari berbagai metode tersebut memenuhi Standar Nasional Indonesia (SNI), ditunjukkan dengan parameter bobot jenis (0,8819) dan indeks bias (1,46). Disimpulkan bahwa optimasi parameter operasi seperti waktu, suhu, dan jenis pelarut merupakan faktor kunci yang mempengaruhi kualitas dan kuantitas minyak atsiri sereh
Analisa Risiko Kecelakaan Kerja Proyek Pembangunan Pembangunan Gedung UPT SMP 34 Gresik dengan Metode Failure Mode and Effects Analysis
Keselamatan dan Kesehatan Kerja (K3) merupakan aspek penting dalam pelaksanaan proyek konstruksi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi potensi risiko kecelakaan kerja pada proyek pembangunan gedung UPT SMP 34 Gresik dengan menggunakan metode Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA). Metode ini mengevaluasi risiko berdasarkan tiga parameter utama: tingkat keparahan (severity), kemungkinan kejadian (occurrence), dan kemampuan deteksi (detection), yang dihitung dalam bentuk nilai Risk Priority Number (RPN). Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi lapangan, kuesioner, dan wawancara terhadap staf proyek. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pekerjaan pengecoran beton di ketinggian memiliki risiko tertinggi, dengan RPN sebesar 141.312. Risiko ini terutama disebabkan oleh kelalaian dalam penggunaan Alat Pelindung Diri (APD) serta kurangnya konsentrasi saat bekerja, yang dapat mengakibatkan kecelakaan serius. Selain itu, risiko juga ditemukan pada pekerjaan lain seperti penggunaan alat berat, instalasi listrik, dan pekerjaan pada struktur tinggi. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan peningkatan kedisiplinan dalam penggunaan APD, pelatihan K3 secara berkala, serta pengawasan ketat di lapangan untuk menurunkan potensi kecelakaan dan meningkatkan keselamatan kerja secara keseluruhan
