    This paper aims to support small medium enterprises (SMEs) in business planning through the use of system dynamics models. In particular, it has been hypothesized that through the use of a step-by-step system dynamics model building process SMEsâ€TM entrepreneurs can better understand the net of cause-and-effect relationships underlying company financial and non-financial results. Such an approach also enables decision makers to improve their understanding about the figures portrayed in a balance sheet. In order to reach such a goal, this study has been carried out through the use of a case-study. The small company investigated is a leather handcraft operating in Indonesia. The paper makes explicit main feedback mechanisms underlying company customer base dynamics adoption process, production and inventory management policies, human resource management practice and machineries production capacity acquisition policy

    This research investigates the linkages between the contributing factors of occupational accidents in the electrical industry, i.e., the business unit factor, the time of accidents, the level of injuries, the gender, and the day when occurred. The research also analyzes the linkage between the contributing factors of accidents to the occurrence of occupational accidents. The research method employed crosstab analysis as a quantitative technique through reports of occupational accidents, especially in the Indonesia Electrical Industry. Moreover, dummy variable regression is utilized to analyze the impact of contributing factors on the likelihood of work accidents. The results show that there is no significant statistical relationship between the contributing factors of occupational accidents, namely the business unit to the level of injury, the business unit to the day, the time of the accident to the level of injury, the time of the accident to the day, and the level of injury to the day. This research also finds that the significant variable in occupational accidents is the type of generation unit. As for the variable type of injury and the days, both are not proven to correlate statistically. This study can help the electrical industry improve occupational health and safety (OHS) performance through analysis to optimize the company\u27s resources. The Management of the electrical company can allocate the right policy to increase OHS operational performance. This research integrates the identifying significant factors of occupational accidents and analyses their linkage, which can help guide future research in this area

    This research aims to analyze what criteria and subcriteria are important to use in assessing prospective Construction Design Consultant in the procurement process using the ANP method. This research departs from the problem that the Toll Road Planning Division, which is responsible for technical and financial planning for the Trans Sumatra Toll Road project, is not spared from vendor performance problems, where in recent years several Construction Design Consultant have not managed to complete their work with the right quality and time. The results showed that the priority criteria for selecting the best construction design consultant are Quality of Service (23.31%), Relationship with Job Owner (22.36%), Company Certification (20.87%), Quality of Personnel (20.55%), and Company Reputation (12.91%). The subcriteria that has the highest weight is the Personality of personnel (14.90%) and the lowest is the Availability of software (0.75%). The sensitivity analysis of alternative priority weights shows that there is no change in the priority order of alternatives if the subcriteria weights are changed by amounts ranging from -50% to +40%

    Lean operation is the common method to increase operational's efficiency, but it is still rarely im­ple­mented for Quality Control Laboratory. This paper used Value Stream Mapping to identify added value and non-added value activities from raw material analysis in Quality Control Laboratory of pharmaceutical in­dustry. Effi­ci­ency was measured by reducing the turnaround time for raw material analysis and then converted into labor cost efficiency. Our research renders a decrease of 42.7% in turnaround time for the top 20 raw materials sample that received in 2020. In addition, it reduced the cost of labor by IDR 130,193,977 per year. These results showed us the importance of implementing lean operations in the laboratory to support pharma­ceutical industries in producing quality and affordable drug products

    Education is one of the most important factors in the development of a country\u27s progress. Currently, apart from economics and health, education is also an investment and achievement on sustainable development. However, until now education in Indonesia is still not evenly distributed in various regions. There are several areas where education is still not feasible of good quality even though the budget allocation in Indonesia are increasing almost every year, no exception in the Province of Papua. The budget allocation for special autonomy funds in Papua Province is fairly large compared to other parts of Indonesia, what the government is trying to do to improve is to distribute the education sector in Papua Province. The purpose of this study is to explore educational disparities between regions in Papua Province and its relation to the increase in the special autonomy funding budget which is estimated from 2012 to 2018. In this study the researcher uses a quantitative methodology by data panel, namely data time series 2010 to 2018. Combining it with cross section data per city/district in Papua Province, the data is used as a reference in calculating educational inequality in Papua Province using the Gini Index Education where the average length of schooling is the reference. Based on the results of the calculation of educational inequality between regions in Papua Province from 2011 to 2018 it is known that the value of the Gini index calculation of education in Papua Province is included in the category of low or evenly distributed education inequality, this is in line with the results seen by using the Lorenz curve which shows the line 33-35from this calculation, it is found that with the increase in the budget for special autonomy funds every year in Papua Province, the inequality of education in Papua is furthermore getting lower or even.

    Urban Community Resilience Amidst the Spreading of Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19): A Rapid Scoping Review

    No full text
    This article aims to examine the existing current studies in urban community resilience related to the pandemic (COVID-19 Pandemic) and to raise a sense of urgency in future research for the model building of urban community resilience during the next pandemic if any. Our review is based on 47 articles considered eligible following inclusion and exclusion criteria after identifying, screening, and prioritizing the title and abstract of 703 records. The insights are organized by three indicators that affect community resilience. The first is the urban community’s vulnerabilities during a particular pandemic. Second, the types of community organizations in dealing with the impact of the pandemic. Third, key dimensions to build community resilience. We draw some intriguing takes for future research that needs to focus on community resilience after the pandemic cases have hit the ground, as a need to draw lessons for the new normal and future challenges and to examine the social learning and transformation process to establish community resilience
