The Influence of Digital Platforms, Organizational Readiness and Innovation Culture on the Performance of MSMEs in the Fisheries and Maritime Sector
Get PDFMSME (micro, small and medium enterprises) actors in the fisheries and marine sectors in Indonesia are faced with increasing global competition. Business actors must be able to increase their competence and capacity for empowering technology and innovation. However, limited knowledge of utilizing digital access is a major obstacle, especially for MSME actors in the fisheries and marine sectors. Apart from that, the ability of MSME players to innovate products is still limited. This is proven based on the research innovation index in Indonesia, which has experienced a decline in relation to human resources, research, infrastructure, market updates, and business. A fairly low indicator relates to innovation capacity, which has an impact on an increasingly declining innovation culture. This research aims to analyze the influence of digital platforms, organizational readiness, and innovation culture on the performance of MSMEs in the fisheries and marine sectors in the city of Surabaya. The unit of analysis for this research is 30 MSME actors in the city of Surabaya. This research produced five (five) research hypotheses, which were processed and analyzed using a partial least squares approach. The results of this research show that digital platforms have a significant effect on organizational readiness and innovation culture, as well as innovation performance. Likewise, organizational readiness has a significant influence on innovation performance. However, innovation culture does not show significance for innovation performance
Analysis of Work Station Capacity Planning Efficiency in A Steel Fabrication Project Using the Theory of Constraints Method (TOC)
Get PDFPT XYZ is a company engaged in steel fabrication, and there are several issues related to the production system of the PT Metso project that are known to be the source of bottlenecks at certain workstations, causing material flow on the production line to be impeded. This research will discuss the calculation of standard time and identify bottlenecks at several workstations. The application of the theory of constraints that can help identify and control the sources of constraints with several objectives such as maximizing throughput and creating detailed calculations of time buffers and Drum Buffer Rope maps to address issues. Then an analysis was conducted using a fishbone diagram and the Five-M Analysis method to determine the causes that occurred. Based on the calculations that have been made for the company's capacity and capability, a rescheduling of the Spray Bar production process has been carried out with an additional working time of 19 hours divided into 2.5 hours per working day. It is known that the bottleneck workstation is located at the Fit-up/Setting workstation with a percentage of 133%. To reduce this bottleneck, the company provides buffer time or time that serves as a cushion with the aim of protecting the production rate (throughput) Before the bottleneck workstation, it took 19.5 hours, and after the bottleneck workstation, it took 2.2 hours
The Importance of Halal Labeling in Consumer Food and Beverage Purchasing Decisions Based on Demographic Factors: A Case Study of Minimarket Consumers in Palembang City
Get PDFThis study aims to explore the significance of halal labeling in food and beverage purchasing decisions at minimarkets in Palembang, Indonesia, with a particular focus on the factors influencing Muslim consumers' choices.
