The manufacturing industry faces major challenges in maintaining consistent product quality amidst the dynamics of technology and global competition. This study aims to develop an effective Business Intelligence (BI) implementation model to support data-based quality control. The method used is a conceptual design approach through integrated system simulation, including MySQL database, PHP backend, Power BI visualization, Google Cloud AutoML predictive analytics, and initial processing using Microsoft Excel. Historical production data for 12 months is used for model training and defect trend visualization. The simulation results show that the implementation of BI can reduce product defect rates, accelerate system response, and increase inspection process efficiency. Technical validation proves the model's prediction accuracy is above 90%, while field validation shows positive acceptance from users regarding the ease of use of the dashboard. This system not only supports early detection of quality deviations but also contributes to real-time strategic decision making. With an integrated technology approach, BI enables medium-sized manufacturing companies to adopt an adaptive and sustainable digital quality system, in line with the concept of Quality 4.0.

This study aims to analyze the extent to which Sharia principles can stabilize the micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSME) market through the framework of Islamic demand and supply theory. In conventional economic systems, price fluctuations and market instability are common challenges for MSMEs. In contrast, Islamic economics offers a value-based approach that emphasizes honesty, justice, the prohibition of exploitation, and the concept of fair pricing (tsaman al-mitsli). This research employs a library research method by reviewing primary and secondary sources, including scholarly journals, classical Islamic economic texts, and recent empirical studies. The findings indicate that implementing Sharia principles fosters market stability through the reinforcement of business ethics, transparent information, and the utilization of Islamic instruments such as zakat, infaq, and profit-sharing-based financing. Furthermore, the concept of barakah (blessing) in transactions strengthens consumer loyalty and business resilience. This study concludes that Sharia principles are not only normative but also practical and strategic in addressing the challenges of market instability in the MSME sector. However, this research is limited to theoretical analysis and lacks empirical field data; therefore, future research employing quantitative or case study approaches is strongly recommended.
