A company's financial performance is one of the main indicators in assessing the health and sustainability of a business entity's operations. Evaluation of financial performance is crucial, especially for large companies operating in strategic sectors such as telecommunications. PT. XL, as a telecommunications company listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, requires regular performance assessments to provide a clear picture of the effectiveness of its business strategy and its ability to generate profits. This study aims to analyze PT. XL's financial performance using a profitability ratio approach. The research method used is descriptive quantitative, utilizing secondary data sourced from the company's financial statements, including the balance sheet, income statement, and other financial statements for the 2021–2023 period. The profitability ratios analyzed include Net Profit Margin (NPM), Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), Gross Profit Margin (GPM), and Earnings Per Share (EPS). These five ratios were chosen because they are able to describe the company's ability to generate profits, both in terms of sales, total assets, and shareholder equity. The analysis results indicate that PT. XL's financial performance during the study period is still less than optimal. This is reflected in the profitability ratio, which is below the average standard for the Indonesian telecommunications industry. This condition indicates that the company has not been able to optimally manage its resources to generate competitive profits. This finding has important implications, namely the need to evaluate financial management strategies, operational cost efficiency, and improve service quality to increase company profitability in the future. Therefore, this study confirms that profitability ratio analysis is a crucial instrument for assessing a company's financial condition and serves as a basis for formulating performance improvement strategies.  

This study aims to determine the influence of motivation on employee performance at the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) Office of Sidenreng Rappang Regency. Motivation is seen as one of the fundamental factors in human resource development because it can encourage increased work morale, effectiveness, and efficiency in carrying out employee duties and responsibilities. Highly motivated employees will be encouraged to work more disciplined, creative, and productive, so that they can make a positive contribution to the achievement of organizational goals, especially in public service and disaster management.nThis study uses a quantitative approach with a survey method. The sampling technique chosen is a saturated sample, namely all employees and honorary personnel at BPBD Sidenreng Rappang Regency are made respondents. This consideration is made because the population is relatively small so that it can be reached as a whole. The research data was collected using a questionnaire compiled based on indicators of work motivation and employee performance, then analyzed using a simple regression test to determine the relationship and influence between variables.nThe results showed that the calculated t value of 2.167 was greater than the t table of 2.048 at a significance level of 5%. This proves that there is a positive and significant influence between motivation on employee performance. Motivation contributes 15.7% to performance improvement, while the rest is influenced by other factors such as work discipline, work environment, competence, and leadership. Nevertheless, these findings emphasize that motivation continues to play an important role as the main driver of employee performance.nThus, increasing motivation through the provision of awards, incentives, and continuous coaching can be an important strategy in strengthening the quality of performance of BPBD employees in Sidenreng Rappang Regency.

The Terminal Loading Area (TLA) API at PT Pertamina Hulu Mahakam functions as a facility for processing oily water before being discharged into the environment. One of the main issues faced is the accumulation of thick floc (oil clumps) due to high emulsions in crude oil, along with the malfunctioning water spray valve on line 1, causing operators to resort to manual spraying using hydrant water. This increases the risk of exposure to hazardous chemicals such as Benzene, Toluene, and Xylene (BTX), which poses a health threat to workers. Therefore, improvements to the water spray system are needed to reduce BTX exposure and enhance the effectiveness of oil-water separation. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of proposed improvements to the water spray system to reduce BTX exposure and improve the efficiency of oil-water separation. The methodology used includes literature review, field study, and technical testing. Proposed solutions include replacing or repairing the damaged water spray valve, adding piping networks to compartment 2 to distribute water more evenly, and using treated water (produced water) to optimize the system and reduce reliance on hydrant water. The results of the study indicate that replacing or repairing the water spray valve, adding piping networks, and using produced water effectively reduce BTX exposure while maintaining oil recovery effectiveness. The trials also showed that using the Oil Pump (P-3230 & P-3235) provides optimal pressure (8–9 barg) for water spray, compared to the less effective Water Pump (P-3200 & P-3205). Implementing these solutions is expected to reduce BTX exposure for workers, improve oil-water separation efficiency, and contribute to a safer and more efficient working environment.

Banking is a key pillar of the financial system, playing a crucial role as an intermediary between those with excess funds and those in need of financing. In the context of post-pandemic economic recovery in the 2022–2024 period, bank sustainability and resilience, particularly in terms of profit-generating ability, are crucial aspects to consider. This study was conducted to analyze the extent to which capital structure and intermediation efficiency influence the profitability of banks listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Capital structure in this study is proxied by the Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR), while intermediation efficiency is measured by the Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR). The profitability indicator used is Return on Assets (ROA), which reflects a bank's effectiveness in utilizing its assets to generate profits. This research methodology uses a quantitative approach through multiple linear regression analysis with secondary data in the form of annual financial reports from 111 banks for the 2022–2024 period. The analysis results show that simultaneously, CAR and LDR variables have a significant effect on ROA. Furthermore, both variables have been shown to contribute positively to increasing bank profitability. In other words, maintaining adequate capital and efficient credit management can strengthen overall financial performance. This finding offers strategic implications for bank management in formulating capital and liquidity management policies. Optimizing these two aspects not only impacts short-term profit achievement but also contributes to the stability and sustainability of banking profitability in the long term. Therefore, banks need to ensure a strong capital strategy coupled with efficient intermediation to be more resilient in facing future economic dynamics.

The production process of graphite glass at ABC faces challenges in the form of waste that has an impact on low operational efficiency. Waste in production activities can affect the quality, cost, and timeliness of product completion. This study aims to identify the most dominant types of waste and provide relevant improvement recommendations to improve production efficiency. The method used is Value Stream Mapping (VSM), a visual approach that maps the flow of the production process from raw materials to final products. The research stage is carried out through direct observation on the production floor, time study, interviews with employees, and documentation of production activities. The results of the analysis show that the most dominant form of waste is overprocessing, which is a repetitive activity that does not add value to the product. This causes longer production cycle times and reduces the effectiveness of resource use. To overcome this, this study provides several recommendations, including: combining production processes that have similar functions, redesigning workflows to make them more concise, and eliminating activities that do not provide added value. The implementation of this improvement has proven to be effective by increasing the Process Cycle Efficiency (PCE) value from 45% to 67%. The increase in PCE reflects that the production process has become more efficient, the workflow is smoother, and the rate of waste has decreased significantly. In addition, the results of this study also confirm that the application of the VSM method can be a strategic solution in identifying sources of inefficiency, designing continuous improvements, and increasing the competitiveness of companies. Thus, the company is expected to continue to evaluate, control, innovate, and improve technology so that efficiency achievements can be maintained, expanded, and improved consistently and sustainably in the future.

The hospitality industry is experiencing rapid digital transformation, particularly with the widespread adoption of mobile ordering platforms in food and beverage services. This study seeks to examine how the use of a mobile ordering application affects staff–guest interactions at Semawis All-Day Dining, X Hotel Semarang.

These conditions not only hamper service effectiveness but can also reduce customer satisfaction and the performance of the officers involved. Therefore, this study aims to design and develop a Progressive Web App (PWA)-based credit application system using the Rapid Application Development (RAD) method. This system is expected to be a more efficient, faster, and more accurate solution than the current manual mechanism. PWA was selected based on its ability to provide universal access through a browser without the need for additional application installation, making it more practical for both customers and officers. Meanwhile, the RAD approach allows for an iterative and flexible system development process, with direct user involvement from the design stage through implementation. This aims to ensure the system is truly aligned with real-world needs. The development results indicate that the designed PWA system is capable of supporting the tasks of Account Officers (AO) and Division Heads in managing credit application data. The process includes the pipeline stage, submission, field survey, and credit realization, which is well-documented and accessible in real time. Functional testing using the Black Box Testing method proved that all features functioned according to established specifications. Furthermore, usability testing using the System Usability Scale (SUS) method yielded satisfactory scores, indicating the system's high usability and positive user experience. Therefore, this PWA-based credit application system not only improves process effectiveness and efficiency but also supports transparency, data accuracy, and user satisfaction.

This study aims to analyze the effect of leverage measured by Debt to Asset Ratio (DAR) and activity ratio measured by Total Asset Turnover (TATO) on profitability measured by Return On Assets (ROA) at PT ABC Indonesia Tbk for the 2015–2024 period. The analysis is carried out both partially and simultaneously to provide an overview of the factors that affect the company's profitability. The type of research used is descriptive quantitative with secondary data obtained from the company's annual financial statements, in the form of balance sheet and income statements. Data analysis methods include t-test, f-test, and determination coefficient (R²). The results of the study show that partially, the Debt to Asset Ratio (DAR) does not have a significant effect on the Return On Assets (ROA). This indicates that the company's leverage level, in the form of a comparison of total debt to total assets, did not directly contribute to the level of profitability during the study period. Similarly, Total Asset Turnover (TATO) is also partially unaffected by ROA. These findings suggest that the effectiveness of a company in utilizing total assets to generate sales has not fully affected profitability. However, the results of the simultaneous test (F test) showed that DAR and TATO together had a significant effect on ROA. A determination coefficient value (R²) of 0.6037 or 60.37% indicates that the variation in the company's profitability can be explained by these two independent variables. Meanwhile, the remaining 39.63% was influenced by other factors outside the research model, such as operational efficiency, cost structure, marketing strategy, and external conditions of the retail industry. Thus, this study confirms the importance of comprehensively considering leverage and asset activity in managing a company's profitability, although the partial influence of each variable has not shown strong significance.

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of current asset management, specifically cash, receivables, and inventory, and its impact on a company's ability to generate profits. The study focused on companies in the automotive sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2020 to 2023. The research approach used a quantitative method with secondary data sourced from annual financial reports. The study sample included 11 companies, resulting in a total of 44 observational data sets over four years. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 25 software to examine the relationships and influences between the study variables. The test results showed that cash management did not significantly influence profitability. This indicates that the amount of available cash does not always correlate with profit, possibly because cash funds are not optimally utilized in productive activities. Conversely, receivables management showed a negative correlation with profitability. This finding suggests that high receivables can burden cash flow and reduce a company's ability to generate profits. Meanwhile, inventory management has a positive and significant impact on profitability, indicating that good inventory control can support smooth production and sales, thereby increasing profits. Together, these three variables explained 68.4% of the variation in company profitability, while the remaining 31.6% was influenced by factors outside the model, such as operational efficiency, cost structure, and marketing strategy. These findings provide insights for automotive company management to prioritize inventory management and review cash and receivables policies to optimize financial performance.
