The study analyzes the implementation of the 5S method (Seiri, Seiton, Seiso, Seiketsu, Shitsuke) in improving shoe production quality at the Assembly section of PT X through observation, interviews, and documentation. Involving supervisors, production leaders, and operators, the study aimed to assess the impact of 5S on production processes. The results showed that the implementation of 5S successfully created a more organized, cleaner, and standardized work environment. These improvements led to a reduction in potential work errors, increased process efficiency, and the establishment of an employee disciplinary culture. Employees became more aware of maintaining cleanliness and orderliness, which contributed to a smoother workflow and better quality control. The findings align with theories of quality management, organizational behavior, and operations management, demonstrating the benefits of 5S in enhancing operational effectiveness. This study confirms that integrating the 5S method into industrial practices, particularly during internships, is an effective strategy to encourage continuous improvement and enhance production quality in the industry.

The shoe manufacturing industry demands a planned, integrated, and consistent production system in maintaining product quality. One of the crucial stages is the gluing process between the outsole (rubber) and the midsole (phylon), which determines the adhesive strength, comfort, and durability of the shoe. This study aims to analyze the implementation of internship activities in a series of gluing processes in the Stockfit Department of PT X. The research method uses a qualitative descriptive approach with data collection techniques through direct observation, involvement in production activities, and systematic field recording during the internship period. The analysis was carried out by linking the field findings with the operations management theory of Heizer and Render, the Crosby concept of quality management, and the principles of continuous improvement from Deming and Imai. The results of the study show that the gluing process has been systematically arranged, starting from material adjustment, primary application, the use of two types of glue, the rubber cutting process, to the final pasting. However, problems were found such as dependency between processes, inconsistency in glue thickness, as well as the influence of machine conditions and operator skills. These problems have the potential to reduce production efficiency and the quality of the final product. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen process control and apply the principle of continuous improvement to improve overall production performance.

This research aims to implement a Multi-Attribute Decision Making (MADM) approach using the AHP–TOPSIS method to assist PT. XYZ in selecting the most suitable intern candidate for the Social Media Specialist position. The increasing number of applicants each year makes the selection process more complex, requiring a systematic and data-driven decision support system. AHP was used to determine the priority weights of five main criteria—Interview, Experience, Portfolio, Skill, and Achievement—along with their subcriteria. All pairwise comparison matrices met the consistency requirements, indicating valid weights. The TOPSIS method was then applied to calculate the preference scores of ten candidate alternatives based on the weighted normalized decision matrix, ideal solutions, and distance measures. The results show that candidate A3 achieved the highest preference score (0.9422), followed by A7 and A8, making them the top recommended candidates. This study demonstrates that integrating AHP and TOPSIS effectively supports companies in conducting objective, efficient, and accurate recruitment decision-making processes.

This study evaluates the effectiveness of the SAP accounting information system in supporting the implementation of the Independent Learning–Independent Campus (MBKM) Internship Program at PT Japfa Comfeed Indonesia Tbk, Gedangan Unit. SAP, as an integrated Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, was adopted to replace the previous desktop-based system, which had significant limitations, such as restricted local access, dependence on additional licenses, and lower integration capabilities across departments. The main objective of this research is to determine how SAP contributes to improving organizational efficiency while simultaneously providing practical learning opportunities for students participating in the MBKM internship program. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, with data collected through direct observation of company operations, semi-structured interviews with student interns and field supervisors, and analysis of company documentation. The findings indicate that the use of SAP has enhanced efficiency, accuracy, and speed in recording and reporting financial transactions. Through their internship, students engaged directly in business processes, particularly in handling purchase requisitions, reimbursement procedures, and asset management activities. This exposure enabled students to develop a deeper understanding of integrated financial systems and the workflow of a large-scale agribusiness corporation. Although several technical challenges were encountered, particularly in the form of temporary network disruptions, such issues did not substantially hinder the system’s overall performance. The availability of prompt technical support from the company’s IT team minimized potential negative impacts and ensured system continuity. Beyond improving corporate financial governance, SAP also offered valuable experiential learning for interns, bridging theoretical knowledge acquired in academic settings with real-world industrial applications. Overall, the study concludes that SAP functions not only as a strategic enterprise tool for the company but also as an effective educational medium that supports the success of the MBKM internship program.

This study aims to comprehensively examine the effect of service quality and customer value on customer satisfaction, while also exploring the role of trust as a moderating variable. The focus of the research is on participants of the Digital Marketing Independent Internship at PT Satukelas Adhyapana Nusantara, Jakarta. An explanatory quantitative approach was employed, involving 87 respondents selected through purposive sampling. The collected data were analyzed using the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method with the assistance of SmartPLS 4 software. The results indicate that both service quality and customer value have a significant positive effect on customer satisfaction. Trust was also found to have a direct effect on satisfaction. However, the moderating role of trust was significant only in the relationship between service quality and customer satisfaction. In contrast, its moderating effect on the relationship between customer value and satisfaction was found to be statistically insignificant. These findings provide empirical support for the SERVQUAL theory, the concept of customer value, and the performance-expectations model, while also reinforcing literature that highlights the importance of trust in sustaining customer relationships. From a practical standpoint, this research emphasizes the need for strategies that integrate service quality enhancement with the delivery of perceived value, accompanied by efforts to build and maintain trust as a reinforcing factor for satisfaction. This combination of strategies is expected to enhance positive customer experiences, foster loyalty, and sustain long-term relationships. Furthermore, this study offers valuable contributions for developing marketing strategies and managing customer relationships in the digital education sector, which faces increasingly intense competition and challenges in the era of technological transformation and globalization.
