The concept of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) encourages companies to enhance transparency in disclosing their economic, social, and environmental performance through sustainability reporting, which is expected to increase accountability and serve as a positive signal to investors. In Indonesia, particularly in the manufacturing sector that contributes significantly to the economy while also generating environmental impacts, sustainability reporting practices have been expanding, although their effectiveness in building investor trust remains contested. This study aims to analyze the influence of sustainability reporting and profitability on investor trust in manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX), employing a quantitative method based on secondary data from annual and sustainability reports for the period 2020–2023. The sample was determined using purposive sampling, while the analysis was conducted through multiple linear regression with Price to Book Value (PBV) as a proxy for investor trust. The results indicate that, simultaneously, economic performance, environmental performance, social performance, and profitability significantly affect investor trust. However, partially, economic, environmental, and social performance show no significant effect on investor trust. In contrast, profitability exerts a positive and significant influence, making it the primary factor shaping investor trust. These findings suggest that investors in Indonesia still prioritize financial information over sustainability disclosures in making investment decisions.

This study was conducted to examine the effectiveness of Kevlar as a structural material in Medium Altitude Long Endurance (MALE) Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), particularly those designed with winglet innovations. In UAV development, material selection plays a crucial role since it directly affects flight performance, fuel efficiency, and the overall durability of the aircraft structure. Kevlar is widely recognized as a lightweight yet highly durable material, making it an interesting candidate to replace more conventional options such as aluminum and carbon fiber composites. Two approaches were applied in this research: numerical simulations using aerodynamic software and experimental testing on a prototype wing and winglet reinforced with Kevlar. The analysis focused on comparing lift, drag, total aircraft weight, and fuel consumption between Kevlar-based structures and conventional materials. The results demonstrate that Kevlar significantly improves aerodynamic efficiency and extends flight endurance due to its lower weight. Moreover, Kevlar exhibits superior resistance to dynamic loads and impacts, which are critical during certain flight conditions. However, challenges remain in terms of higher production costs and more complex manufacturing processes compared to traditional materials. Despite these limitations, the findings provide valuable insights for developing more efficient and durable MALE UAVs, while also encouraging innovation in aerodynamic design through the application of winglet technology.

This study aims to analyze the effect of intellectual capital and profitability on firm value in manufacturing companies in the food and beverage sub-sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2020-2023 period. Intellectual capital is measured using the Value Added Intellectual Coefficient (VAIC) method, which consists of three components: Value Added Capital Employed (VACA), Value Added Human Capital (VAHU), and Structural Capital Value Added (STVA). Meanwhile, profitability is proxied by Return on Assets (ROA). This study uses a quantitative approach with purposive sampling, resulting in 59 companies as research samples. After data screening and the removal of outliers, the number of observations analyzed was 138. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with SPSS software. The results of the study show that intellectual capital does not have a significant effect on firm value. This finding indicates that the management and disclosure of intellectual assets in food and beverage companies have not been able to improve investors' perception of the company’s market value. On the other hand, profitability has a positive and significant effect on firm value. This means that the higher the profitability, the higher the firm value, as reflected in investor confidence. This study emphasizes that conventional financial indicators remain the main focus of investors, while the role of intellectual capital has not yet been fully considered as a strategic resource that can directly enhance firm value.

Iron deficiency is one of the main causes of anemia, especially in women of childbearing age who have higher iron requirements. Preventive efforts can be done through functional food innovations based on natural iron sources. Beetroot (Beta vulgaris L.) and red spinach (Amaranthus sp.) are known to contain iron in high amounts so they have the potential to be used as alternative raw materials in the manufacture of gluten-free noodles. This study aims to determine the effect of beetroot flour and red spinach flour formulations on the organoleptic properties (color, aroma, taste, and texture) and iron content of gluten-free noodle products. The study used an experimental method with a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of four treatments: F0 (control), F1 (50:50), F2 (75:25), and F3 (25:75). Iron content analysis was carried out using the Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS) method, while the organoleptic test involved 25 untrained panelists who were women aged 15–24 years. The results showed that treatment F3 produced the highest iron content of 12.092 ± 1.658 mg/100 g, while F2 achieved the highest sensory acceptability. Nevertheless, formulation F3 was determined to be the best formulation due to its optimal iron content. This gluten-free noodle product based on beetroot and red spinach has the potential to be developed as a functional food to prevent iron deficiency anemia in women of childbearing age.

The purpose of this research is to use the six sigma approach to assess the quality of cracker manufacturing at UD. Palapa in Nganjuk Regency. This technology was chosen because it allows for quantitative measurement and analysis of product defect levels, as well as the identification of defect-causing variables. The study was carried out using the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) steps and statistical methods such as Pareto diagrams, fishbone diagrams, and C-chart control charts. According to the research, the cracker manufacturing process at UD. Palapa has an average sigma value of 2.74, which is still below the six sigma (6σ) threshold.  This figure implies that the product fault rate remains fairly high.  The most common forms of faults are irregular shape and uneven thickness, which are mostly produced by machine, human, process, and raw material problems. C-chart analysis reveals that most processes are still under control, while there are a few spots beyond the control boundaries that indicate unique variances. Based on these data, it is possible to infer that UD. Palapa's quality control system is still reactive and has to be improved in order to be more proactive. Routine equipment maintenance, operator training, the introduction of standard operating procedures (SOP), and more stringent raw material selection are all possible efforts. Six Sigma deployment has been shown to provide a full view of production quality conditions, as well as a foundation for future continuous improvement programs.

PT. Lotus Indah Textile Industries, a manufacturing company in the open-end yarn spinning sector, faces significant issues related to defective products in its production process. This study aims to identify the level of human error among open-end machine operators and analyze the root causes of these errors. The methods employed include the Human Error Assessment and Reduction Technique (HEART) to calculate the Human Error Probability (HEP), as well as Root Cause Analysis (RCA) with the 5 Whys approach to identify the root problems. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and questionnaires during the period of May to June 2025. The results indicate that the activity of "pushing the full yarn so that it detaches from the holder and moves to the conveyor with the right hand" had the highest HEP value of 0.281996. The main root causes of human error include a lack of focus and accuracy among operators, rushing while working, limited experience, and insufficient training and periodic evaluations of employee effectiveness by the company. The impact of these errors results in defective products such as dirty yarn and rolls that do not meet standards. As an improvement recommendation, the company is advised to conduct periodic evaluations of operator effectiveness after training to enhance productivity and provide feedback, as well as to establish clear procedures for the doffing process of yarn on open-end machines to reduce errors. This study is expected to assist the company in improving operator performance, reducing human error rates, and minimizing defective products.

The spice industry faces significant challenges in maintaining product weight consistency as part of quality assurance and compliance with production standards. A case at PT X revealed that a newly installed filling machine produced deviations from the target weight of 50 grams, with hypothesis testing showing that out of 30 samples, 17 samples fell outside the  confidence interval. To mitigate this issue, this study proposes the development of a real-time data-driven Decision Support sistem (DSS) combined with statistical approaches. The methodology includes two-tailed hypothesis testing to detect weight deviations and Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to identify dominant failure causes based on high Risk Priority Numbers (RPN), such as delayed machine calibration, operator error, and worn-out machine components. These findings serve as the foundation for designing the DSS architecture, which consists of sensor input modules, statistical data processing, risk mapping, and an automated corrective recommendation engine. The sistem is designed to enable early detection of deviations, accelerate response time to quality issues, and support data-driven decision-making on the production floor. The study concludes that a structured implementation of DSS can be an effective strategy to improve product weight consistency and enhance operational efficiency in spice manufacturing.
