In response to increasing competition in the manufacturing sector, PT X—a copper busbar manufacturing company—implemented Lean Manufacturing supported by Value Stream Mapping (VSM) to improve production efficiency and reduce supply chain costs. This study utilizes VSM, Value Stream Analysis Tools (VALSAT), and Root Cause Analysis (5 Whys) to identify sources of waste and formulate improvement strategies. The analysis identified three dominant wastes: waiting time, product defects, and excess inventory. These were mainly caused by the lack of standardized material procedures, inadequate supporting equipment, and poor integration between the incoming inspection process and the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. To address these issues, the study proposes installing silica rolls, providing air wipers and flatness tools, developing standardized work instructions, and integrating Internet of Things (IoT) technology with the ERP system for real-time monitoring. As a result of implementing these solutions, PT X successfully reduced its defect rate from 6.23% to 1.32%, decreased lead time, and achieved notable savings in supply chain costs. The findings demonstrate that integrating Lean Manufacturing principles with VSM can effectively eliminate non-value-added activities, streamline production processes, and enhance overall competitiveness.

This study examines the potential for digital branding transformation of Mitra Havana Sulung Mandiri, a construction service company in East Java, through the utilization of TikTok as a promotional platform. Using observations and interviews, the research identified strong visual content opportunities from the company’s activities, such as documenting construction progress, showcasing before-and-after project visuals, and sharing client testimonials. These elements offer significant storytelling potential for engaging online audiences. However, several internal barriers hinder optimal implementation. These include limited digital literacy among staff, inadequate content creation tools, and the absence of standardized procedures for producing and publishing content. Externally, skepticism toward social media marketing in the construction sector and the unpredictability of TikTok’s algorithm also create challenges. Thematic analysis revealed three primary needs: maximizing existing visual assets to create compelling narratives, enhancing internal capacity through targeted digital training, and developing a culture that supports continuous digital engagement. To address these, the study proposes an initial strategy involving educational content, behind-the-scenes videos, and a clear content production guide. In addition, it suggests forming a dedicated social media team, running a 30-day continuous content campaign, and collaborating with local creators to expand reach. These recommendations align with existing literature on the role of short-form video in increasing brand awareness, credibility, and trust in service-oriented industries. By integrating strategic content planning, capacity building, and consistent online engagement, construction SMEs can position themselves competitively in the evolving digital marketplace. The case of Mitra Havana Sulung Mandiri demonstrates that even in traditionally offline industries, leveraging TikTok can offer a pathway toward brand differentiation and long-term audience growth.

Cost theory is one of the fundamental concepts in economics that explains how firms allocate resources to produce goods or services. In economic analysis, costs are categorized into short-run and long-run costs. In the short run, there are inputs that are fixed, limiting the firm's ability to adjust the scale of production. This leads to the concepts of fixed costs and variable costs. In contrast, in the long run, all inputs are variable, giving firms full flexibility to adjust their scale of production, which results in the formation of the long-run cost curve. This curve serves as an envelope of various short-run cost curves and reflects production efficiency at different scales. Understanding the differences between short-run and long-run costs is essential for firms in making decisions, particularly in production planning and long-term investment.
