Balerina Fashion faces the problem of waste in production process activities, which is caused by errors in pattern cutting, repetitive activities between production stages, and double work in the Quality Control (QC) division. This study aims to improve the efficiency of the production process by reducing waste using the Lean Manufacturing approach through the Value Stream Mapping (VSM) and Process Activity Mapping (PAM) methods. The results showed a significant increase in Value Adding (VA) time, from 56.00% to 84.88%. In contrast, Non-Value Adding (NVA) time decreased dramatically from 35.74% to 3.33%, while Necessary Non-Value Adding (NNVA) time increased slightly from 8.25% to 11.79%. These changes reflect productivity improvements and an increased focus on activities that provide direct value to customers. As a recommendation, the development of a new Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is suggested to ensure each process runs according to standard. This SOP includes a detailed step-by-step guide for operators and QC, which was previously unavailable.

This study aims to analyze the reliability and performance of Rubber Tyred Gantry (RTG) cranes using the Mean Time To Repair (MTTR), Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF), and Inherent Availability (IA) methods. The MTTR method is used to measure the average time required for repairs, while MTBF calculates the average time between failures. Meanwhile, the IA method assesses the inherent availability of the equipment based on the previous two parameters. The results indicate that some RTG units experience high MTTR, such as RTG035-12, which recorded a repair time of 124.15 hours in January, and RTG035-13 with 441.23 hours in February. On the other hand, RTG035-19 demonstrated more stable performance with low MTTR in several months. In terms of MTBF, RTG035-16 recorded the lowest value of 0 hours in July, indicating significant disruptions, whereas RTG035-12 exhibited the best performance with the highest MTBF of 614 hours in December. The IA analysis revealed that some RTGs had low values, such as RTG035-13, which only reached 0.312 in February, while RTG035-19 maintained values above 0.95 throughout the year, demonstrating high reliability. This study provides insights into the performance of RTG equipment at the Semarang Container Terminal (TPKS) and emphasizes the need for effective maintenance strategies to enhance operational reliability and efficiency.

The importance of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) in the pharmaceutical industry to ensure the quality and safety of drug products. GMP aims to ensure that all pharmaceutical preparations, including sterile drugs such as infusions and injections, meet strict quality standards. Sterility testing is an important aspect even though it has limitations, such as long incubation times and low probability of detecting contamination. Therefore, any sterility test results that do not meet the requirements must be further investigated to find the cause, either from laboratory errors or contamination in the production process. In addition, the implementation of technical and managerial aspects in accordance with GMP, such as temperature and humidity control, is very important to maintain product quality. This article also highlights the use of modern technologies, such as Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), to improve efficiency and transparency in the drug production process, so that it can meet all the provisions set.

This study discusses the legal vacuum that occurs in the pre-prosecution process, especially related to the absence of time limits and frequency of return of examination report files (BAP) between investigators and public prosecutors. This vacuum has the potential to hinder the principle of fast, simple, and low-cost justice that should be applied in the Indonesian criminal justice system. This study proposes solutions in the form of setting clear time limits, improving coordination between investigators and public prosecutors, and providing training to improve human resource capacity. In addition, the application of sanctions for parties who violate the provisions of pre-prosecution is an important step to ensure the smooth running of the judicial process. This study is expected to contribute to increasing the efficiency of the criminal justice system in Indonesia.    

This final report aims to design a website-based electronic archiving system using PHP and MyAdmin. The data collection method used by the author in this research is the field research method through interviews, observation, library research, and descriptive qualitative data analysis techniques using the waterfall method, namely the Development Life Cycle (SDLC) system, which is used to develop information systems in the website creation process. This method uses a systematic and gradual approach. This electronic filing system can help companies overcome various obstacles when recording and rediscovering documents. Automating processes in the system in systematic recording and storage can save time and help provide information quickly so that the administrative process is smooth. Reduces the use of paper (less paper) because documents are stored in digital format, so documents will not pile up and can reduce the use of archive storage space. In electronic archiving, there is no longer a need to manually record the agenda for incoming and outgoing letters, because when recording transactions, incoming or outgoing letters will be automatically recorded on the agenda for incoming or outgoing letters. For the system to continue running optimally, it is recommended that companies carry out employee training, routine system maintenance, continuous development, implementation of information security policies, and regular system performance monitoring.  Implementing these recommendations is expected to increase operational efficiency and accessibility of company information

Cavendish banana (Musa acuminata L.) propagation through conventional methods requires a considerable amount of time. Tissue culture techniques offer a more efficient alternative, enabling the production of plantlets with superior quality and quantity in a shorter period. The application of Zn nanoparticles has been shown to reduce media contamination and act as a biostimulant, enhancing propagation efficiency in tissue culture. Auxins, such as Naphthalene Acetic Acid (NAA), facilitate cell development and root induction, while cytokinins, including 6-Benzyl Amino Purine (BAP), are effective in stimulating cell division, morphogenesis, and shoot formation with improved stability and resistance to oxidation. This study was conducted from February to June 2023 at the Biotechnology Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Pembangunan Nasional "Veteran" Jawa Timur. The research utilized a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with two factors: the concentration of Zn nanoparticles and the ratio of ZPT concentrations. The results indicated that the best treatment for multiplication was obtained with 50 ppm Zn nanoparticles, resulting in the fastest shoot emergence at 24,63 days and the highest number of shoots per plantlet at 2,58 shoots. Furthermore, the treatment with a ZPT concentration ratio of NAA + BAP (0:0) produced the highest average number of plantlet leaves, with 5,78 leaves per plantlet.

This study compares the financial performance of three manufacturing companies in Indonesia, namely PT Intan Wijaya International Tbk, PT Duta Pertiwi Nusantara Tbk, and PT Madusari Murni Indah Tbk, during the 2019-2023 period. The analysis was conducted using liquidity, activity, solvency, profitability, and market ratios to evaluate the financial health of each company. The results show that PT Duta Pertiwi Nusantara Tbk excels in liquidity ratios (average current ratio of 3.92 and average quick ratio of 3.48) as well as operational efficiency on average age of receivables (46.06 days) and inventory turnover (17.68 times). Meanwhile, PT Madusari Murni Indah Tbk has the highest solvency ratio (average TIE of 48.2% and average Fixed Charge Coverage of 8.2), although its debt-to-asset burden is also greater (debt ratio of 33%). On the other hand, PT Intan Wijaya International Tbk performed best on profitability (average ROE of 61.4%) and effectiveness of total asset utilization (average total asset turnover of 0.91). However, all three companies face the challenge of ratio fluctuations due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. This study is expected to provide important insights for stakeholders in making strategic decisions, as well as contribute to the literature of financial performance analysis of the manufacturing sector.
