Abstract

West Sumatra has great potential in developing biomass based on palm oil waste. This is because the largest plantation production in West Sumatra comes from the oil palm commodity of 1,082,820 tons in 2014. Therefore, it is necessary to design a model of supply chain biomass network for the distribution of Empty Fruit Bunches (EFB) from CPO factory suppliers located in West Sumatra and distributed to Depot Pertamina Teluk Kabung. Stages performed in the implementation of this study began with a preliminary study to determine the potential of biomass in West Sumatra. Furthermore, the design of chain supply chain optimization model by identifying supply chain activity, knowing the characteristics of supply chain system and make the formulation of mathematical model. The design of supply chain biomass from Empty Fruit Bunches (EFB) in West Sumatera, starting from raw material Tandan Kosong Kelapa Sawit (TKKS) sourced from Crude Palm Oil (CPO) factory in West Pasaman Regency and surrounding. This is because Pasaman Barat Regency is the central agroindustry of oil palm plantation which has 17 most palm oil factories in West Sumatra. The potential of bioethanol derived from CPO waste can be done by establishing bioethanol plant located with the same CPO factory so that it is adjacent to the source of the raw material. The result of the mathematical model mixed integer linear programming is placement of bioethanol plant location at PT Pasaman Marama Sejahtera with medium scale and total cost of IDR 251,563,700,000.00.

Abstract

Tires are vehicle parts that have a significant economic impact. When the tires reach their end-of-life, they can be retreaded for further use. A company in Padang, Indonesia, manufactures retreaded tires with hardness specifications of at least 61 Shore A. The technology used by the company is the hot cure retreading. Historical data showed that the process produced 7% of defective tires and cost the company $16 per unit of defective tires. It was identified that curing temperature, mold pressure, inner tube pressure, curing time, and fuel type mixed with adhesive affect tires’ hardness. This paper aims to find the best combination of the above parameters so that the hardness of the retreaded tires is maximized. Experiments were performed, and the Taguchi method was employed to design the experiments. Since the experiments have five factors, and each involves two levels, the degree of freedom of the experiments is five. There were three replications for each treatment. Thus, an L8 orthogonal array was selected. The experimental results showed that the best combination of factors is curing temperature at 140 ˚C, mold pressure at 4 bar, inner tube pressure at 8 bar, curing time for 2 hours, and fuel mixed with adhesive was SBP. The above combination was predicted to produce an average hardness of 63.10 Shore A. A confirmation experiment was then performed by applying the above combination of factors, which resulted in an average hardness of 63.15 Shore A and no retreaded tires having hardness below 61 Shore A.
