Music genre classification is one part of the music recommendation process, which is a challenging job. This research proposes the classification of music genres using Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) and Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) extraction features. This method was tested on the GTZAN and ISMIR2004 datasets, specifically on the IS-MIR2004 dataset, a duration cutting operation was carried out, which was only taken from seconds 31 to 60 so that it had the same duration as GTZAN, namely 30 seconds. Preprocessing operations by removing silent parts and stretching are also performed at the preprocessing stage to obtain normalized input. Based on the test results, the performance of the proposed method is able to produce accuracy on testing data of 93.10% for GTZAN and 93.69% for the ISMIR2004 dataset.

Company PT. PAL Indonesia is a manufacturer of Indonesian Defence system equipment which is especially in the largest marine sector in Indonesia. In addition, PT. PAL Indonesia has 22 divisions.

Meanwhile, in the Smoothness Index, the results that are known in the company's previous condition are 9 minutes and the results obtained after the repair are 3 minutes with the position weight method (Ranked Positional Weight) getting the late operation speed is 160 minutes so that it is used as a cycle time in the calculation of this method in the process of knowing the calibration work from the beginning to the end.

Productivity is an indicator of a company's performance. In 2021 to 2023, a precast concrete construction and manufacturing company had difficulty achieving its spun pile production target of 3,480 tons/month. This condition causes the company's productivity to fluctuate and tend to decrease overall. This study aims to evaluate the decline in productivity by measuring the value of productivity based on 3 criteria, namely material, labor and machine criteria. The method used is Objective Matrix (OMAX). The productivity value in the production years 2021 to 2023 fluctuates with a downward average value. The highest productivity value in the 2021 production year occurred in period 8 with a value of 748 while the lowest productivity value occurred in period 6 with a value of 170. The highest productivity value in the 2022 production year occurred in period 21 with a value of 638 while the lowest productivity value occurred in period 14 with a value of 166. The highest productivity value in production year 2023 occurs in period 26 with a value of 966 while the lowest productivity value occurs in period 27 with a value of 0. Criteria that contribute less to productivity and need to be improved are labor criteria that show values below the average. While the material and machinery criteria show values that tend to be below average. While the material and machine criteria show values that tend to be good, with the application of OMAX, PT XYZ can improve partial productivity and total productivity in the future and identify factors that cause a decrease in productivity.

Laboratory space is a place to store important assets, so security is an important factor. The application of technology is needed to help security in the laboratory space. In addition, with various technology options, it is necessary to consider human errors that often occur. The use of smart door access with a mechanism using a fingerprint sensor is determined due to security considerations and minimizing human error. Security is guaranteed because only registered fingerprints can access the room. The microcontroller uses Arduino Uno as a system driver that has been programmed in the Arduino IDE. The system works according to the function where the outer door uses a fingerprint sensor while the inner door uses a touch sensor to move the solenoid door lock. Three variations were carried out, namely clean fingers, dusty fingers and wet fingers to observe fingerprint performance. The fingerprint sensor works quickly when the finger is clean then the finger is wet and finally the finger is dusty. The length of time the solenoid door lock opens when the smart door access system is operated according to the settings in the Arduino IDE program.
