The garment industry faces challenges in grouping diverse goods based on their characteristics, which can affect the efficiency of the production process and inventory management. This study aims to apply the K-Means Clustering algorithm in garment goods classification to improve business process management and optimization. The K-Means algorithm, as one of the popular clustering methods, is used to group garment goods data based on features such as size, color, fabric type, and product model. This method begins with the selection of relevant features from the dataset obtained from the garment industry. Furthermore, the K-Means algorithm is implemented to determine the optimal number of clusters using the elbow score and silhouette methods. The clustering results are analyzed to evaluate the extent to which the algorithm can form homogeneous and business-relevant groups of goods. The results of this study indicate that the K-Means Clustering algorithm is effective in grouping garment goods into several categories that are consistent with business patterns and needs. The application of this method results in a better understanding of goods grouping that can improve production efficiency and facilitate inventory management.

Elderly people tend to experience chronic diseases because there is a decrease in the function of organs in the body. An increase in life expectancy will correspond to an increase in the number of sufferers of chronic diseases, because every elderly person has one or more chronic diseases. It is important for seniors to understand the emergency conditions they may experience, because fluctuations in an elderly person's condition can occur in a short time. This Community Service aims to increase the elderly's understanding of emergency conditions in chronic diseases. The method used is providing health education through counseling and conducting pre-tests and post-tests to determine the understanding of the elderly. After the test was carried out, it was found that there was an increase in the value of participants' knowledge regarding the emergency conditions of chronic diseases after being given counseling with a frequency during the pretest, namely 5 people, the sufficient category was 7 and the highest was the insufficient category, namely 8 people, but after the counseling was carried out for 30 minutes, it was possible to increase knowledge. There were 16 participants who had good knowledge and only 4 people who had sufficient knowledge. With increased knowledge, it is hoped that patients will be able to provide first aid and find the right place for further assistance if a chronic disease patient experiences an emergency at home.
