This study aims to review the perspectives of MSME owners in the Gonilan area, particularly regarding part-time workers and their use in improving operational cost efficiency. The Gonilan area is known to have many MSMEs operating in various sectors, making this study relevant for understanding the challenges they face. A qualitative method was chosen so that the researcher could conduct in-depth interviews with three MSME owners. The informants were selected because they employed both full-time and part-time workers. The interview results showed that part-time workers were effective in reducing operational costs, such as more flexible hourly wages, although there were some disadvantages. The main disadvantages of part-time workers included lack of experience and limited working hours, which could be overcome through extra training and clear task distribution so that they could focus and increase productivity. The study concluded that the use of part-time workers has a significant impact on the operational cost efficiency of MSMEs, helping owners navigate the market without excessive financial burdens and encouraging long-term business growth.

This research explores increasing the efficiency of network resource use through load balancing techniques. Load balancing distributes workload evenly among servers to optimize resource usage, maximize throughput, and minimize response time. We compare various load balancing algorithms, such as round-robin, least connections, and least response time, in various network scenarios. Experimental results show that proper load balancing techniques can reduce response time by up to 30% and increase resource usage efficiency by up to 40%. This study highlights the importance of selecting appropriate algorithms based on network traffic and workload characteristics. Implementing effective load balancing strategies can improve the quality of network services and ensure even distribution of workloads, providing practical guidance for network administrators to optimize network performance and efficiency.
