This study aims to analyze the power dynamics that occur in the interaction between a clown and a driver at a red light using Michel Foucault's power theory approach. Clowns at red lights are often objects of interest to motorists and pedestrians, but their role in public space is rarely examined from a power perspective. This study uses a qualitative research method with a case study approach to gain an in-depth understanding of the clown's interaction at the red light. Data was collected through participant observation, interviews with clowns, and content analysis from social media that describes these interactions. The results showed that clowns at red lights use various strategies to attract the attention of motorists, such as funny gestures, flashy costumes, and silly actions. However, behind the fun and joy shown by the clown, there is a hidden power structure. Through the use of humorous actions, clowns are able to change the dynamics of public space, divert the attention of motorists from existing traffic rules, and form alternative narratives about that space. This study also shows that the presence of a clown at a red light involves a complex power and knowledge relationship between the clown, the driver, and the general public. Clowns use their symbolic power to control people's perceptions and evaluations of public space, as well as to go beyond the rules and norms that apply. Using Foucault's theory of power, this study provides a new understanding of the clown's interaction at the red light as a form of resistance to existing power. This research also describes how clowns, as actors who are underestimated by many people, can utilize their power to shape and reconstruct meaning and experience in public space.

PKS Pagar Merbau is a plantation company engaged in palm oil processing. Due to the unpredictable level of demand, determining the timing and number of orders becomes difficult, resulting in increased inventory costs. By using the Period Order Quantity Method, it aims to be able to control Crude Palm Oil raw material inventory which will minimize inventory costs. The Period Order Quantity (POQ) method is a development of the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) method where the number of orders can minimize the total cost of inventory. The results of applying this method, obtained the optimal number of orders of 1,208,798.12 kg for one order with a frequency of 101 times a year with a safety stock of 3,000,200.61 kg and a reorder point of 3,961,816.26 kg. The total inventory cost according to company policy is  Rp. 3,159,298,770.65 while the total inventory cost according to the Period Order Quantity method is 2,879,961,532.42. Then the total inventory cost savings of Rp. 279,337,238.23 or 8.86%

Setting a strategy in running the existing system in the company, therefore it is very important for the company to evaluate the management control system which is one of the basic functions of management. The object of the research is PT. JNE Indonesia, especially at Cikuda Jatinangor agents. This study aims to determine the state of the control system in JNE in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. The results of the study explain that the system that applies at JNE is still running well as evidenced by the absence of complaints from company employees, the implementation of activities that run normally, and the programs that are run in the midst of this pandemic do not make income decline JNE’s management performs the control systems very well, and ensures the security of packages that will be sent until they are received by costumers.

Kondisi persampahan Kota Mojokerto yang terdiri dari 2 kecamatan dan 18 kelurahan, pelayanan persampahan mencakup di 67% kelurahan, dengan kemampuan mengangkut 78,2% dari timbulan sampah kota sebesar 349 m3/hari dan dihasilkan dari 135.024   jiwa. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengembangkan strategi pengelolaan sampah yang berkelanjutan dengan metode diskriptif kualitatif. Pengambilan data dengan metode studi dokumen,diskusi kelompok terfokus, wawancara dan observasi  pada proses pengelolaan sampah. Kondisi pengelolaan sampah ditinjau dari aspek teknis operasional, kelembagaan, peraturan, pendanaan, peran serta masyarakat dengan mengacu pada teori dan analisis Strength, Weaknesess, Opportunity, dan Threath (SWOT). Pengelolaan sampah Pemerintah Kota Mojokerto dengan sistem kumpul-angkut-buang mengakibatkan timbulan sampah yang tidak terkendali di TPA serta biaya operasional tinggi, dilakukan uji coba pengurangan sampah dari sumber, pengolahan sampah skala kawasan dan skala kota tetapi belum memberikan hasil optimal, sampah  masuk  ke TPA  sebesar 273  m3 per hari.  Pemrosesan sampah di TPA dengan sistem control landill dan   laju timbulan sampah sebesar 1,6% pertahun dengan biaya pengelolaan sampah yang belum cost recovery.Pengembangan strategi pengelolaan sampah diprioritaskan pada optimalisasi pengurangan volume sampah dari sumber dengan melibatkan peran aktif masyarakat skala rumah tangga dan kawasan atau kelompok, peningkatan kualitas pengelolaan TPA sebagai tempat  pemrosesan  bukan  pembuangan,  peningkatan  cakupan  pelayanan  persampahan, peningkatan kerjasama dengan pihak swata,pengembangan sistem penghargaan dan sangsi, pemulihan biaya pengelolaan sampah, kerjasama regional dalam pengelolaan sampah, optimalisasi pemanfaatan  sarana  dan  prasarana  persampahan.  Strategi  bertumpu  pada  perubahan  pola  pikir untuk   mengelola   sampah   kota   bersama   antara   pemerintah   masyarakat   dan   swasta   dengan penerapan pengurangan, pemakaian kembali, daur ulang dan pembuangan yang aman bagi lingkungan.

The inventory system is one of the most important managerial functions, because the majority of companies involve large investments in this aspect, as well as for PT Sango Ceramics Indonesia which uses a lot of inventory in the field of planning and controlling its inventory costs. PT Sango Ceramics Indonesia is a company engaged in the ceramic industry. Problems that often occur so far include the company not determining the frequency of ordering raw materials and storing raw materials, as a result the costs incurred by the company for ordering raw materials are quite high, and the absence of a safety stock to anticipate uncertain inventory needs. The Periodic Review method is a method that can help the process of controlling raw material inventory costs. This method uses an approach to the concept of the number of orders economically used in each period which is a diverse demand. The application of the Periodic Review Method (R, s, s) policy on the inventory system is able to produce a lower total inventory cost, order volume and inventory levels in a balanced manner. . Judging from these problems, the authors need to redesign the stock information system using a computer-based system, namely Microsoft Visual Basic. System design using Qlient Server which consists of input design, system design and procedure, output design fiber. This new system is expected to be able to overcome the weaknesses of the previously used information system.

The textile and textile products (TPT) industry in Indonesia still has a lot of problems, one of which is the problem of raw materials which are considered to be unable to compete with the same material from importation sources. This requires the company continue to strive to increase productivity and cost efficiency to mitigate the increase in prices of raw materials charged to consumers. One effort that can be done by the company is to improve the efficiency of the cost of raw material inventory. The company must be able to plan and control the company's raw material inventory to support the effectiveness of its raw material costs. By having good planning and control, the company will avoid the problem of excess and lack of raw material inventory in carrying out production activities. This study aims to determine the application of the Justintime system at PT Bintang Baru Sentosa in increasing the efficiency of the company's raw material inventory costs. The type of research is quantitative qualitative research with a case study approach. Data sources obtained from primary data and secondary data. The methods used in this study include: interviews, observation, and documentation studies.The results of the study show that using Justintime in controlling raw material inventories has cost efficiencies of Rp18.418.185,- for 75/72 F DTY and 150/48 F DTY with a cost efficiency level of 75%.  Keyword:Raw Materials, Inventories, Just.intime (JIT), Cost Efficiency
