Radiology services are a crucial component of the healthcare system that requires efficiency in its processes. Resource limitations and increasing demand for services underscore the importance of improving efficiency. To enhance service quality and operational efficiency, the implementation of an integrated information system has become a key focus for hospital management. Improving service quality and operational efficiency through the application of an integrated information system is also dependent on the reliability and performance of the system itself. This study aims to examine the relationship between the implementation and performance of an integrated information system with service efficiency in enhancing service quality in the radiology department of RSUD Kota Bogor. The research uses a quantitative approach with two independent variables: the implementation of the integrated information system and the reliability and quality of the integrated information system. The dependent variable is the quality of radiology services, and the intervening variable is radiology service efficiency. Data collection methods include observations, questionnaires, and documentation studies. The sample consists of 30 employees working in the radiology department of RSUD Kota Bogor and 30 patients receiving services in the radiology department. Data processing and presentation were conducted using path analysis with Structural Equation Modeling (SEM-PLS) using SmartPLS software. The results of the data analysis indicate that: (1) The implementation of the integrated information system does not have a significant relationship with radiology service efficiency; However, the reliability and performance of the system do have a strong relationship with radiology service efficiency. (2) The implementation and performance of the integrated information system do not have a significant relationship with service quality in the radiology department. (3) Radiology service efficiency has a significant relationship with service quality in the radiology department. (4) Radiology service efficiency, as a mediator, is not strong enough to enhance the relationship between the implementation and performance of the integrated information system and service quality in the radiology department. This study is expected to provide a comprehensive overview of the relationship between the implementation and performance of an integrated information system with service efficiency in enhancing service quality in the radiology department. The findings may serve as input for the management of RSUD Kota Bogor in optimizing the use of an integrated information system to improve radiology service efficiency, which is expected to impact the quality of services in the radiology department.

Energy efficiency has become a critical focus in manufacturing plants due to rising operational costs and increasing environmental concerns. The growing importance of energy management is driven by the need to reduce energy consumption, lower emissions, and enhance overall operational efficiency. Traditional maintenance practices, such as reactive and preventive maintenance, often lead to unnecessary downtime, high repair costs, and inefficient energy usage. In contrast, predictive maintenance (PdM), supported by Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled sensor networks, offers a proactive approach to minimizing energy waste by predicting equipment failures before they occur. This study develops a predictive maintenance framework using IoT-based sensor networks to optimize energy usage and reduce energy losses in manufacturing plants. The research begins with an overview of IoT sensor network architectures and their applications in industrial automation, including sensors such as temperature, vibration, and pressure sensors. It explores predictive analytics techniques, such as machine learning and artificial intelligence, used for failure prediction, which are key to enhancing energy efficiency. The study emphasizes how predictive maintenance contributes to industrial sustainability by reducing carbon footprints and optimizing energy consumption. The research methodology involves the installation of IoT sensors in critical machinery, real-time data analysis using machine learning algorithms for failure prediction, and energy consumption measurement before and after implementing IoT-based interventions. The results show significant improvements in energy consumption efficiency and operational productivity. Predictive maintenance led to reduced unplanned downtime, increased equipment reliability, and a more sustainable manufacturing process. However, challenges such as sensor integration, initial setup costs, and data security concerns were identified. The study concludes with recommendations for integrating IoT-based predictive maintenance systems into manufacturing plants to further optimize energy usage and promote sustainability.

The global clean water crisis is exacerbated by significant losses in water distribution networks (WDNs), resulting in inefficient use of both water and energy resources. Traditional methods of leak detection and pressure management often fail to address these inefficiencies, leading to substantial water wastage and high operational costs. This research aims to design a sustainable, smart water distribution system using advanced technologies such as Machine Learning (ML) for leak detection and automated pressure control. The system employs real-time monitoring through IoT sensors, which continuously gather data on water pressure, flow rates, and other critical parameters. This data is analyzed using various ML algorithms, including supervised and unsupervised learning models, to detect anomalies indicative of leaks. Additionally, the system integrates automated pressure control mechanisms that dynamically adjust pressure to prevent over-pressurization, reducing both water loss and energy consumption. By combining leak detection and pressure control, the proposed system offers a more efficient, sustainable solution to water resource management compared to traditional methods. The expected outcomes include a significant reduction in water loss, enhanced energy efficiency, and improved water service quality. However, the implementation of such a system in rural or small-town infrastructure faces challenges, including sensor maintenance, algorithm reliability, and regulatory issues. A cost-benefit analysis suggests that while the initial investment in smart technologies may be high, the long-term savings in water and energy costs outweigh these costs. This study underscores the potential of ML-based systems in enhancing water conservation, operational efficiency, and sustainability in water management.

This research aims to address the issue of uneven bandwidth distribution in large organizational networks by implementing Quality of Service (QoS) using FIFO and the Hierarchical Token Bucket (HTB) algorithm on Mikrotik routers. Uneven bandwidth distribution can disrupt productivity and operational efficiency. This study creates a fair and efficient traffic management system, allowing bandwidth allocation according to user needs. The methodology involves detailed configuration of Mikrotik RouterOS to optimize QoS with adjusted HTB settings. Testing was conducted using IPerf3 to measure bandwidth variations received by clients in different conditions, including scenarios with two and three active clients. The results indicate that the HTB method provides more stable and consistent bandwidth distribution compared to FIFO. In the two-active client scenario, the unused bandwidth by the third client is allocated to higher priority clients, demonstrating HTB's effectiveness in managing traffic priorities. This research is expected to enhance user satisfaction by providing a network that is both stable and responsive to the needs of various operational applications, and contribute significantly to the development of best practices for bandwidth management in complex organizational environments.
