Designing Information System To Support Business Process Improvement In A Small-Mid Size Bottled Drinking Water Industry
Due to inefficiencies of the business processes in small-mid size of bottled drinking water industries,
it is necessary to improve them. The improvements are carried out in business processes of production,
warehouse, delivery, marketing, and finance departments. The main causes of the inefficiencies are the
inefficiencies of the business process itself and that the business processes of those departments were not
integrated. This paper is concerned with designing information system to support for the integration of those
departments. First, we mapped the business process of each department using flow diagram. Then analyze the
inefficiencies of each department. Next, we redesign the business processes and standardize them. The next step
is integrating the business processes by designing the information system. We design the information system
modular. The modules are marketing module, production module, logistic module and finance module. Data
Flow Diagram (DFD) is used to model the system. Relational database management system (RDBMS) is used
to design the database. User interfaces are built to ease in using the program application. The outputs of the
information system are reports and documents in monitor screen view and in printing. The validation showed
that the information system designed can support the business process improvements.

Designing Enterprise Resources Planning Application for Integrating Main Activities in a Simulator Model of SCM Network Distribution
Collaborative supply chain is a specific topic in supply chain management and studied by
industrial engineering students in supply chain management course. Unfortunately, conventional
learning media cannot explain the phenomenon of collaborative supply chain to the students. This study
aimed to design a dynamic learning media so that inter-company collaboration and information sharing
on the activities of Supply Chain entities can be explained effectively to the students. The problem was
solved using 3 (three) steps. First, the distribution network was described using mock up. It consists of
miniature trucks, miniature network and miniature of the manufacturer-distributor-retailer embedded
with tag and reader of RFID. Second, the Enterprise Resources Planning application was developed for
supporting business activities. Third, we developed the integrator consists of monitor’s user interface
and practice modules. The result of the research - an SCM-Simulator – will be able to improve learning
skills of industrial engineering graduates, especially abilities to identify, formulate, and solve the
activities of tactical plan & operational routines of Supply Chain entities. However, distribution module
designed is for limited scale laboratory study of simple objects.

Designing an Open Virtual Factory of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises for Industrial Engineering Education
Curriculum of Industrial Engineering program must accomplish
the requirement that graduates have the ability to design,
develop, implement, and improve integrated system that include
people, materials, equipment and energy. However, it is not easy
to implement a curriculum that fosters such competencies. One of
the strategies to achieve that is using an innovative learning
media, so that the problem-based learning (PBL) can be
accustomed. In this paper, we design a web-based enterprise
resources planning. It is aimed to capture the real problem of
small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in bottled drinking
water industries. The integrated system can be illustrated as ERP
application that designed by using free open source software
(FOSS). This research aimed to utilize the application to improve
teaching methods in IE education. The result of the research can
be used to improve the competencies of IE students, especially the
abilities to identify, formulate, and solve the activities of the
business process improvement in SMEs.

Penentuan Alokasi Buffer untuk Meningkatkan Performansi Lini Produksi (Studi Kasus di PT. General Electric Lighting Indonesia)
PT. GE Lighting Indonesia is a manufacturing company that producing lamp. In generally, PT. GE Lighting Indonesia's producing line consist of 5 machines with buffer allocation storage between machine that have early capacity of buffer= 1225 units, buffer2= 915 units, buffer3= 820 units, and buffer4= 545 units. The allocation of these buffer is definitely done with purpose to place output from machine before processed to the next machine. Time difference process in every machine make the stream of production process become less fluent and affecting less maximal is machine damage factor. although the preventive maintenance policy is applied in PT. GE Lighting Indonesia remain to be the machine damage cannot be obviated at production process take place.
This research will try to redetermine the buffer allocation in PT. GE Lighting Indonesia in order to make the production process more fluent, so that can increase the throughput in production line. The method that is use to redetermine the buffer allocation is simulation approach. The reason why the author use this method is because there wasn't found a representative and valid analytical model that match with the system. The simulation is done with Promodel 4.0 software.
Based on the experiment design and running of simulation, it's achieved a conclusion that the best alternative buffer capacity is at 900 units ( buffer1, buffer2, buffer3, buffer4 has a same capacity at 900 units) with aveerage throughput at 9.651 unit/shift. While in the early buffer capacity only produce as many as 9207 unit/shift. Finally, if it's compared with the early condition, redetermining the buffer allocation can increase the throughput of production line process equal to 444 units/shift
