Ripple Effect Analysis on Coffee Supply Chain During Covid-19 Pandemic
Full text linkThis study examines the disruption of the coffee supply chain due to the Covid-19 outbreak in the world. During the Covid-19 pandemic, demand and delivery disruptions occurred at PT Toduri Kopi. This study aims to identify the disruption risks in the supply chain during the pandemic and analyze the impact of ripple effects on supply chain performance in PT Toduri Kopi. Discrete event simulation (DES) is used to simulate ripple effect problems in the supply chain. AnyLogistix was chosen to help analyze the disruption before and during a pandemic and its impact on supply chain performance. The results of this simulation show that there is a decrease in demand by 25%, a decrease in profit by 49.5%, a decrease in revenue by 40.9% and a total cost of 7.59%
Performance Measurement in Service and Consultant Company with Balanced Scorecard-AHP
Full text linkPT XYZ is a services and consulting firm that wants to measure the company\u27s overall performance. Currently, the company only measures financial aspects and cannot describe the company\u27s overall performance. It was conducted to measure the company’s performance by identifying key metrics from three perspectives: financial, customer, internal processes, and learning and growth. Underpinned by the Analytical Hierarchy Process weighting system, the Objective Matrix, and the Traffic Light System rating system, the company\u27s performance achieved an overall index score of 9.15. Of a total of 30 KPIs, 10 are yellow KPIs, which means the company\u27s performance is in line with realistic goals, and the remaining 20 are green KPIs. It shows that the company\u27s overall performance is in line with company goals. The 30 KPIs consist of 4 KPIs for financial, 8 KPIs for customer, 12 KPIs for business internal process, and 6 KPIs for learning and growth
Analysis of Musculoskeletal Disorder (MSDS) factors in production operator employees using the Quick Exposure Checklist (QEC)
Full text linkProduction department operators perform repetitive work processes continuously, resulting in muscle and joint disorders. The purpose of this research is to identify early and provide preventive strategies for the potential occurrence of diseases due to musculoskeletal disorder complaints. (MSDs). This research is a qualitative study that involves direct observation of the subjects and interviews with sources to collect data using the Quick Exposure Check method. (QEC). The QEC results show that the wave solder workstation has the highest score with a total score of 141 and an exposure score of 80%. The cutting-point workstation has a score of 127 and an exposure score of 72%. The printing workstation has a score of 126 and an exposure score of 78%. The visual inspection workstation has a score of 107 and an exposure score of 61%. Therefore, the priority body parts are back with the highest total score of 30, the arms/shoulders with the highest total score of 36, and the wrists with the highest score of 40. 
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Comparative Analysis of Cloves Drying Machines
Full text linkThis research addresses the critical need to systematically benchmark the efficiency of modern drying machine to upgrade the prevailing traditional method for drying cloves. The main objective of this investigation was to analyze comparative efficiency between electric and biomass dryig machine and provide recommendations for the most optimal type of drying machine based on energy consumption, drying time and final moisture content. This study using comparatibe experimental design with controlled cloves samples to collect data and applied one-way ANOVA test for the statictical analysis of significant differences betweeen the machines. The results confirmed that the electric drying machine achieves greates overall efficiency and optimality, providing faster processing times without diminishing the basic quality or final moisture content of the cloves
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
