This community service program aims to enhance the productivity and welfare of local farmers through the optimization of male layer chicken production. Male chickens, often considered by-products of the laying hen industry, are generally overlooked and regarded as less economically viable. However, with the application of appropriate farming strategies, male chickens can become an important alternative source of protein to support food security. The methods implemented in this program include training on poultry management, the use of efficient locally-based feed, and the development of marketing strategies for the production output. The results of the program show a significant improvement in both productivity and the efficiency of male layer chicken farming among local farmers. With ongoing support, this program is expected to become a sustainable empowerment model in the small-scale livestock farming sector.

Innovation is a key element in improving business competitiveness and sustainability. This study uses the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method to analyse the relationship between resources and innovation strategies in entrepreneurship. A total of 22 Scopus-indexed articles were reviewed using the PRISMA approach, focusing on the types of resources (human, financial, technological, informational, and physical) and forms of innovation (product, process, and managerial). The results show that product innovation is largely supported by human resources and technology, where the skills and creativity of the workforce play an important role in the development of new products. Process innovation relies on technology and information, especially in production efficiency and operational digitalisation. Meanwhile, managerial innovation is closely related to human resource management and organisational strategy, which enables companies to be more adaptive to market changes. This study enriches the Resource-Based View (RBV) and Dynamic Capabilities theories, and provides insights for entrepreneurs and policy makers in developing resource-based innovation strategies. In conclusion, successful innovation in entrepreneurship depends on optimal resource utilisation and appropriate policy support to create sustainable innovation.

Indonesia, as the world's sixth largest sugar market, faces an imbalance between sugar consumption and production, opening up opportunities for natural sweetener alternatives such as stevia. Stevia, which is low in calories and has the potential to reduce the risk of chronic diseases, is increasingly in demand.

This article aims to analyze PT Sweet on Stevia's business strategy by using Porter Five Forces and SWOT analysis. The method used is to link the two analyses to determine strategies in the aspects of service, marketing and sales, and operations. The results of the analysis show the importance of improving service quality, social media-based marketing, and operational efficiency in facing market competition. The findings provide insights for PT Sweet on Stevia to optimize its business strategy and contribute to the promotion of healthier sugar consumption patterns in Indonesia.

This study aims to enhance the quality of operational performance by implementing the Holonic Manufacturing System (HMS). The system involves dividing manufacturing processes into autonomous, collaborative, and participatory holons, including the Order Holon, Product Holon, Resource Holon, and Staff Holon. The primary objective is to optimize production efficiency by reducing costs, minimizing processing time, and increasing flexibility while improving overall organizational productivity. The research problem centers on evaluating the impact of holonic manufacturing on operational performance improvement. This study is significant as it addresses a critical issue for firms striving to enhance their efficiency and deliver value to customers. The adoption of HMS is not only a practical approach but also a widely recognized business strategy that has garnered interest from researchers and industry professionals alike.To achieve the study’s objectives, a structured questionnaire comprising 36 items was developed and distributed to participants. Two primary hypotheses were formulated to examine the relationship between HMS implementation and operational performance quality. Various statistical analyses were conducted using SPSS (version 24) and AMOS (version 24) to test the hypotheses and validate the findings. The results indicate a significant correlation and causal relationship between the Holonic Manufacturing System and operational performance quality. The findings suggest that implementing HMS effectively enhances organizational performance by improving production processes, increasing efficiency, and reducing operational constraints. Therefore, adopting this system can lead to a more agile, cost-effective, and productive manufacturing environment, making it a valuable strategy for modern organizations.

This study aims to analyze the efficiency of raw material inventory control for bread products at Rejeki Bakery in Mijen, Semarang, and to examine the application of the Material Requirement Planning (MRP) method in optimizing raw material inventory costs. The research employs a quantitative approach using secondary data as the main source. The data analysis technique utilized in this study is the Material Requirement Planning (MRP) method, which includes three inventory control techniques: Lot For Lot (LFL), Economic Order Quantity (EOQ), and Period Order Quantity (POQ). Each method was analyzed to determine the most efficient inventory cost. The results show that the raw material inventory cost using the Lot For Lot (LFL) method is Rp 2,400,000.00, the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) method results in an inventory cost of Rp 2,992,600.00, while the Period Order Quantity (POQ) method incurs a cost of Rp 6,924,800.00. Additionally, the current raw material inventory cost under Rejeki Bakery’s management policy is Rp 2,681,600.00. Based on these findings, the implementation of the Material Requirement Planning (MRP) method at Rejeki Bakery in Mijen, Semarang, has demonstrated its effectiveness in improving the efficiency of inventory management. Among the three techniques analyzed, the Lot For Lot (LFL) method proves to be the most cost-effective, as it minimizes excess inventory while ensuring that production needs are met. This study highlights the importance of selecting an appropriate inventory control method to optimize costs and enhance operational efficiency in bakery production.
