Abstract

Gunanusa Utama Fabricator, an Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and Installation (EPCI) company in Jakarta, Indonesia, is confronted with challenges in project efficiency due to a high rejection rate in welders' production. This study aims to develop a knowledge management framework tailored to daily contract workers at Gunanusa, with a particular focus on welders. The objective is to establish a connection between worker engagement, development activities, and project efficiency optimization. Adopting a qualitative approach, the research incorporates stakeholder interviews and examination of project-related documentation. The SECI model (Socialization, Externalization, Combination, and Internalization) serves as the foundational model for knowledge management activities. The findings underscore the significance of knowledge management practices in fostering collaboration, communication, and continuous learning within the organization. Recommendations are provided to enhance Gunanusa's knowledge management system, including the development of internalization activities and the utilization of technology for knowledge storage and retrieval. An implementation plan is outlined to guide Gunanusa in adopting the knowledge management framework and cultivating a culture of knowledge sharing and continuous learning. This study contributes to the existing literature by emphasizing the importance of knowledge management practices in optimizing project efficiency for daily contract workers, particularly welders, at Gunanusa Utama Fabricators. The research offers practical implications for organizations aiming to enhance project outcomes through effective knowledge management strategies.

Abstract

The construction equipment industry in Indonesia, in which the lifting equipment is a part of, is showing promising growth with an estimated value of 4.5 billion US dollars in 2028, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.79% during the period of 2021-2028. PT. Multi Guna Equipment (PT. MGE) is one of the authorized distributors of lifting equipment specializing in reach stackers and harbour mobile cranes from Konecranes – a company based in Finland. In recent years, PT. MGE has experienced stagnant business growth, despite the enormous potential demand for lifting equipment in Indonesia due to the numerous construction projects that are a priority for the Government. The obstacles that contribute to the stagnant business growth of PT. MGE are related to the absence of a system to manage knowledge in the company. In light of these circumstances, the company needs a structured and effective system for managing knowledge, which is through the implementation of a Knowledge Management (KM) system. In doing this, the research is based on two research questions. The first is how can a knowledge management system be proposed to improve the business growth of PT. MGE, and the second is what is the implementation plan for the proposed knowledge management system. These two research questions will be answered using theories related to knowledge, knowledge management, and two knowledge management frameworks, namely People, Process, Technology (PPT) and Socialization, Externalization, Combination, Internalization (SECI). Because a qualitative method is used in this research, data is collected through interviews and observations, which are then analyzed using thematic analysis. The results of data collection show that there are several issues related to the PPT and SECI frameworks. These issues range from the limited sales knowledge and sales skills possessed by salespeople, the lack of knowledge sharing processes within and between teams, the lack of proper knowledge transfer, difficulty in accessing knowledge and information due to manual access, and others. Through the utilization of PPT and SECI frameworks, the author was able to design a knowledge management system by formulating several tools, for example, Coaching, Training, Knowledge café, Lesson-learned documents, K-based exit interview, repository, and e-learning. With a total of 13 (thirteen) knowledge management tools or techniques, the company now has the ability to identify the knowledge needed, capture the knowledge, store the knowledge, share the knowledge, and effectively utilize knowledge and information which can improve the organization’s performance, enhance decision-making processes, and foster innovation and collaboration, thereby gaining a competitive advantage in the lifting equipment industry which ultimately contributes greatly to the growth of the company. For the knowledge management system implementation process, it will be divided into 4 (four) stages: Pre-Adaptation, Adaptation, Implementation, and Evaluation to ensure that the knowledge management system is implemented effectively, its impact can be measured, and areas for improvement can be identified to make necessary changes. Implementation will begin on the second half of 2023, to be specific in August 2023, and there will be a dedicated Person In Charge (PIC) for all knowledge management initiatives to monitor the progress and ensure the sustainability of this system.

Abstract

The IT industry has grown rapidly, resulting in fierce competition among enterprises. System integrators, such as PT. PE, confronts stiff competition, especially when serving government clients. However, profits at PT. PE have fallen during the last three years. The underlying cause of this problem has been identified through analysis using fishbone and cause diagrams as a lack of effective knowledge management within the company. This study aims to address two key questions: firstly, what is the knowledge management system that should be proposed to PT. PE to increase their profit? Secondly, what is the implementation plan of the proposed knowledge management system? A qualitative research method was used to study these questions. Data was gathered through interviews with important stakeholders such as the CEO, project managers (PM), and administrative employees. Observations were also done within the operations team. The data was collected from January through April 2023. The data analysis found nine sub-causes that contributed to the observed problem. These sub-causes include a lack of knowledge management understanding, disparities in employee knowledge levels, a lack of a platform for knowledge sharing, limited access to training and employee development programs, ineffective document storage, a lack of vendor and client databases, a lack of processes for converting tacit knowledge into explicit knowledge, a lack of a learning culture, and an overreliance on third parties. Several solutions based on the SECI (Socialization, Externalization, Combination, and Internalization) and People frameworks, procedures, and technologies are presented to overcome these difficulties. Ptalk, Pdoc, and Ptraining are among the knowledge management programs that PT. PE plans to implement. The implementation procedure is set to start in September 2023 and end in September 2024. Following deployment, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the knowledge management activities will be done, and appropriate modifications will be made for future enhancement. PE intends to reduce the highlighted issues and increase profitability by building a comprehensive knowledge management system. The suggested system will improve staff growth, expedite document storage, create databases for vendors and clients, build a learning culture, and eliminate reliance on third parties. PT. PE expects these steps to have a positive influence on their financial performance and long-term prosperity. Finally, this study underlines the significance of knowledge management for system integrator organizations such as PT. PE. The problems discovered in PT. PE's knowledge management processes have had a significant impact on its profitability. PT. PE, on the other hand, hopes to overcome these issues, improve their knowledge management processes, and, eventually, increase their profitability and competitive position in the IT market, through the offered solutions and implementation plan. In conclusion, this study emphasizes the crucial importance of knowledge management in the success of system integrator firms. The issues revealed in PT. PE's knowledge management methods have had a negative impact on its profitability. However, with the offered solutions and implementation plan, PT. PE hopes to overcome these problems, improve their knowledge management procedures, and ultimately increase their profitability and competitive position in the IT industry. This study contributes to the understanding of successful methods that might drive success for system integrator organizations in a highly competitive industry by emphasizing the relevance of knowledge management.
