This study aims to empirically analyze how the implementation of Green Supply Chain Standards and halal certification affects the competitiveness of Food and Beverage SMEs in Padang City. Sustainable economic development requires the integration of environmental and ethical aspects in the supply chain, especially in the food sector. In Padang City, Food and Beverage SMEs are the driving force of the economy, facing a dual challenge of meeting consumer demands for halal products and environmentally friendly practices. This study uses a quantitative approach with a survey method. Primary data were collected through questionnaires from a sample of owners or managers of food and beverage SMEs operating in Padang City. Data management is carried out using regression analysis or Structural Equation Modeling to test the hypothesis of the effect of independent variables GSCM and Halal Certification on the dependent variable (SME Competitiveness). This research is expected to demonstrate that the implementation of GSCM positively affects the competitiveness of SMEs, and halal certification also has a significant positive impact on competitiveness, especially in expanding market access and increasing Muslim consumer trust.

This study aims to design a blanking die used for mass-producing mobile phone holders while prioritizing efficiency and dimensional accuracy. The die set developed includes key components such as the punch, die, stripper, guide post, and fastening bolts. The product produced has dimensions of 138 × 63 × 2 mm and uses ST 37 steel as the raw material. Based on calculations, the required blanking force is 129,000 kN, which is considered safe for the production process. The design also accounts for an optimal clearance of 0.083 mm and a die thickness of 35 mm to effectively withstand the working load. Simulations using stress analysis methods reveal that the von Mises stress distribution on both the punch and die remains below the elastic limit of SKD11 material. The maximum stress on the punch is recorded at 2.437 × 10⁵ N/m², while on the die it reaches 5.153 × 10⁵ N/m², both well below the yield strength of SKD11, which is 2.918 × 10⁸ N/m², indicating that these components operate safely without the risk of plastic deformation. To strengthen the construction, the stripper is designed with a thickness of 12 mm, and the addition of four SCM435 bolts is recommended to improve system stability. This die design is verified through manual calculations and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to ensure its reliability. Overall, the findings of this study demonstrate that the designed blanking die can support mass production with high precision, optimal structural strength, and long-term durability.

This study uses a qualitative method to analyze the integration model of Supply Chain Management (SCM) in the manufacturing-service industry, focusing on a case study in the automotive sector. SCM integration in this context involves the coordination of production processes, distribution, and after-sales services to enhance efficiency and responsiveness to customer demands. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and direct observations at an automotive company implementing integration strategies between manufacturing and service operations. The findings show that cross-functional collaboration among suppliers, manufacturers, and service providers plays a vital role in creating an adaptive supply chain. Digital integration through connected information systems also significantly accelerates decision-making and improves overall supply chain visibility. This study highlights the importance of a holistic approach encompassing technical, organizational, and inter-partner relationship aspects. The results are relevant for automotive companies aiming to strengthen competitiveness through cross-sector SCM integration and serve as a reference for developing industrial policies that support collaboration between manufacturing and service actors in the Industry 4.0 era.  

Significant changes have occurred in the economy, especially in developing countries such as Indonesia, where the economic, development and industrial sectors continue to improve. Manufacturing companies in the cosmetics subsector are an industry that has quite intense competition in Indonesia. According to the first quarter of 2020 data from the Central Bureau of Statistics, the market growth of this industry averaged 5.59% per year. This is expected to continue in the coming year. The implementation of supply chain management (SCM) will support organizations to have a good performance system. PT Zoey Cosmedica Putra (Maklon Kosmetik) is one of the manufacturing companies engaged in the cosmetics industry. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of supply chain management on company performance. Data processing using the Structural Equation Modeling - Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) method using Smart PLS software version 4.0. The results of SCM factor analysis research measured by independent variables, namely relationships with suppliers (X1), relationships with customers (X2) and the level of information sharing (X3) with the dependent variable, namely company performance (Y). Shows X1 and X3 hypotheses have an influence, while the X2 hypothesis has no effect.
