This study aims to improve the effectiveness of facility arrangement at Pabrik Oncom Bu Nana by analyzing interactions among production activities and designing spatial layouts based on their priority levels. The current layout presents several critical issues, particularly because the equipment sanitation area is combined with the toilet, creating a significant risk of contamination and reducing hygiene during production. In addition, irregular material flow and excessive worker movement lead to inefficient work processes and may affect the quality of the final product. To address these issues, this study employs the Activity Relationship Chart (ARC) to evaluate the functional closeness among production areas, as well as the Total Closeness Rating (TCR) to determine facility placement priorities based on the intensity of inter-stage relationships. The results of the ARC analysis indicate that the fermentation room has the strongest link to the main stages of oncom production, requiring its placement to be closer to the preparation and molding areas. Findings from the TCR further emphasize that fermentation should become the primary focus in the layout redesign. Based on both methods, a more organized layout design is proposed by relocating the fermentation room to the beginning of the production flow, separating the toilet and sanitation room into two distinct areas, and restructuring the storage, molding, and drying spaces. This redesigned layout is expected to enhance cleanliness, improve material flow, and strengthen the operational effectiveness of Pabrik Oncom Bu Nana.

The effectiveness of a retail store layout plays a crucial role in supporting operational efficiency, service flow, and customer experience. Brother Parfume, a perfume refill retail store, currently applies a bar-service layout designed based on intuition and daily operational needs rather than systematic planning. This often results in inefficient movement patterns, limited space utilization, and suboptimal coordination among functional areas. This study aims to redesign the store layout by applying the Entity Relationship Chart (ERC) and Total Closeness Rating (TCR) methods to identify functional relationships and determine the ideal spatial arrangement. Data were collected through direct observation and semi-structured interviews with the store owner to understand the interaction between service areas, product displays, and storage sections. The ERC analysis shows that the service area, perfume display, and bottle display have the highest functional interdependence, while the storage area has the lowest necessity for proximity. TCR results confirm these findings, with the service area and perfume display each scoring 90, bottle display 21, and storage 3. Based on these results, two alternative layouts are proposed that integrate high-priority areas into a unified service zone and position storage separately to minimize unnecessary movement. The redesigned layout is expected to enhance service speed, optimize space utilization, support operational procedures, and strengthen the store’s servicescape. This research contributes practical insights into the application of ERC and TCR methods for small-scale retail operations, particularly in the perfume refill sector, where service efficiency and spatial constraints are critical.

The development of digital da'wah demands a more in-depth, comprehensive, and data-driven methodological approach. However, contemporary da'wah research is still dominated by descriptive analysis that stops at mapping surface phenomena without exploring the underlying causal factors that determine the long-term effectiveness of da'wah. This weakness is increasingly apparent in the use of SWOT analysis, which has been widely applied in da'wah studies, but tends to be limited to producing categorization tables without an operational epistemic basis. Meanwhile, the era of digital da'wah presents a new, complex reality, where da'wah success is influenced not only by surface interactions such as the number of viewers, impressions, or follower growth, but also by latent factors such as audience cognitive motivation, platform algorithms, digital cultural context, identity construction, and societal value systems. This study aims to formulate a new methodological model through the integration of SWOT and the Iceberg approach to address this methodological stagnation. The research was conducted using qualitative methods based on literature analysis, comparative studies of strategic analysis models, and the construction of a conceptual model. The results show that the SWOT-Iceberg integration is able to produce a more multidimensional framework for digital da'wah analysis: SWOT diagnoses surface symptoms, while Iceberg explores patterns, causal structures, and mental models that shape phenomena. This combined model enables the development of more accurate, adaptive, and evidence-based da'wah strategies. It is concluded that the SWOT–Iceberg integration significantly contributes to the development of modern da'wah methodology by encouraging a shift from descriptive research to transformative diagnostic analysis, while simultaneously strengthening the scientific character of da'wah as an academic discipline based on a critical and measurable knowledge system.

The International Maritime Organization (IMO), as one of the key organizations contributing to the reduction of carbon emissions in the maritime sector, offers several options that maritime industry stakeholders can utilize to measure carbon emissions, one of which is calculating the Energy Efficiency Operational Indicator (EEOI). The statistical x-bar control chart, employed as a monitoring instrument for the EEOI quality parameter, indicates that one container ship trip recorded an EEOI value of 0.00104, which exceeded the upper control limit of 0.00098. The results of process capability analysis on the initial dataset sample revealed that the value of Cp < 1, indicating that energy efficiency performance was not satisfactory. Process control was subsequently applied by eliminating anomalous data, which demonstrated a potential reduction in fuel consumption and EEOI by approximately 25%, as reflected in the improvement of the Cp value. The potential for enhancing the ship’s operational capability, however, still requires further control measures to improve energy efficiency performance. The reduction in fuel consumption directly contributes to lower emission levels, thereby supporting the realization of a sustainable shipping industry.
