This study aims to analyze in depth the structure of production cost components and determine a reasonable and competitive selling price for shrimp farming in the Venambak Shrimp Farm. The background of this study is the need to determine the cost efficiency and profit potential of shrimp farming activities, so that business actors can make the right decisions and be oriented towards sustainability. The study uses a quantitative descriptive approach with the full costing method to calculate the total production costs, and the cost plus pricing method to determine the selling price. The data used consists of primary data, such as details of operational expenses during one cultivation cycle (six months), as well as secondary data obtained from internal company reports and records. The results of the analysis show that the total production costs incurred in one shrimp cultivation cycle reached Rp16,085,208,000, with a total harvest of 1,000,000 kg. Based on these figures, the cost of goods manufactured (COGS) was obtained at Rp16,085 per kg. In determining the selling price, the company used the cost plus pricing method and set the selling price at Rp80,000 per kg. Thus, the profit margin obtained by the company reached Rp63,915 per kg. Gross profit generated during one cultivation cycle reached Rp63,915,000,000. If cultivation were conducted in two cycles per year, the annual gross profit could potentially increase to Rp127,830,000,000. These findings indicate that with efficient cost management and the right pricing strategy, shrimp farming has significant profit potential. Therefore, intensive and sustainable shrimp farming development at the Venambak Shrimp Farm is highly feasible to improve the competitiveness and welfare of fisheries business actors.

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of goods delivery at PT TIKI Jalur Nugraha Ekakurir (JNE) and its impact on customer satisfaction, focusing on the application of Total Quality Management (TQM) principles. The research method used is a quantitative survey with purposive sampling technique, where data is collected through questionnaires distributed to customers. The results show that the application of TQM, which includes employee involvement, continuous improvement, and customer focus, significantly enhances delivery effectiveness. Furthermore, regression analysis indicates that delivery effectiveness positively influences customer satisfaction. This study recommends that PT JNE continue to strengthen the application of TQM in its operations to improve service quality and customer satisfaction.  

This paper discusses the methodologies for balanced transportation problems and their solutions, focusing on efficient and cost-effective distribution of goods from multiple sources to various destinations. The study highlights the importance of maintaining supply and demand balance and explores systematic approaches such as initial solution methods—North-West Corner, Least Cost, and Vogel Approximation Method—and the optimal solution technique, Stepping Stone. An illustrative case involving a company with multiple factories and markets demonstrates the application of these methods, resulting in minimized transportation costs. Additionally, the process of fertilizer allocation and cost analysis is examined, emphasizing the use of the Stepping Stone method to achieve cost minimization. The findings underscore the effectiveness of combining initial heuristics with iterative optimization to attain optimal transportation solutions, thereby enhancing logistical efficiency and reducing operational expenses.

Operational management is an important part of problem solving factors in manufacturing companies because they have to face changing environmental conditions. Marketing Strategy is a strategy designed to promote goods or services with the aim of generating profits. Especially in some contexts, consumers tend to focus more on brands than products when making purchases, choosing certain brands because they have a positive image. Qualitative research methods place more emphasis on observing phenomena that occur and more on examining the substance of the meaning of these phenomena. Descriptive qualitative research means that the researcher must describe an object, phenomenon, or social setting which will be outlined in narrative writing. Benefits and Objectives of Company Operational Management 1. Efficiency (increasing efficiency) 2. Productivity (increasing efficiency) 3. Economy (reducing costs) 4. Quality (improving quality) 5. Reduced processing time (reducing production process time) Suggestions for this research are that several objects can be added to determine product quality improvements.

Operations management is a series of activities related to planning, organizing, controlling and supervising all resources used in the process of producing goods or services. The main function of operations management is to create quality products or services, at efficient costs, at the right time, and in accordance with market demand. This research is quantitative research that works with numbers and the data is in the form of numbers which are then analyzed using statistics to test hypotheses or to answer specific research questions and to make predictions. This research approach is explanatory research where data collection is carried out simultaneously in one stage (one shot study} or in a cross-section through a questionnaire. One of the main impacts of operations management what is good is increasing the efficiency of the production process by designing and managing efficient production processes, companies can optimize the use of available resources, reduce waste, and increase output without increasing significant costs. Effective operations management has a significant impact on various aspects of company performance, including operational efficiency, cost control, product quality and service, and customer satisfaction. By implementing good operations management principles, companies can increase their competitiveness, reduce waste, and improve the customer experience.

Export activities are the activity of removing goods from within the country to the destination country. So exports are trade by sending goods to a country with which there has previously been an agreement by each representative of the country concerned, namely the exporter and importer. The smoothness of the export process can be seen from the document handling procedures carried out by PPJK so that the cargo can enter the customs area without any problems occurring. The aim of this research is to analyze the export document procedures for abrasive cloth cargo by PT. Millennium Trans Bahari as PPJK. In writing this thesis, research was carried out using a qualitative approach through direct observation methods at PT. Millennium Trans Bahari, interview method with one of the operational staff and documentation in the export and import division in the form of written data which includes documents required for export activities. The results obtained in this research are that the analysis of procedures for abrasive cloth cargo export documents by PPJK at PT. Millennium Trans Bahari, in its implementation, is in accordance with existing procedures.

Income plays a very important role in determining individual consumption patterns, reflecting consumers' purchasing power towards goods and services. This study investigated the impact of average income on consumption levels in North Sumatra, focusing on the relationship between income and shopping behavior in the region. The purpose of this study was to study how variations in average income affected consumer spending habits and general economic activity in North Sumatra from 2020 to 2022. This study used secondary data from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) North Sumatra, which included per capita consumption levels and average income. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression method. The results showed a positive and significant relationship between average income and consumption levels in North Sumatra in 2020–2022; In other words, the higher the average income, the greater the per capita consumption. The research highlights the importance of stability and income growth in stimulating consumer spending, thereby boosting economic growth.
