Abstract

The rapid growth of manufacturing demands continuous process improvement. This study examines a plastic manufacturing company’s Mouldshop, which has not met performance targets an average lead time of 52 days (target 50 days) and a 75% success rate (target 93%) and struggles to achieve the desired surface finish quality of plastic molds. An integrated Value Stream Mapping (VSM) and Six Sigma DMAIC approach is applied to visualize end-to-end process flows (VA/NNVA/NVA), quantify performance gaps, analyze root causes (Fishbone with the 4M Man, Machine, Material, Method), and design improvements. VSM reveals three dominant wastes defects, inappropriate processing, and waiting linked to six critical failure causes spanning operator capability and discipline; overloaded schedules, equipment failures, machining errors, temperature control, and precision instability; material selection and procurement delays; and shortcomings in work- instruction compliance, machining parameters, drawing completeness, and standardized process flow. Using 5W+1H within DMAIC, the study proposes: standardized machining instructions and setup times; preventive- maintenance schedules and checklists; incoming verification with PIC accountability; structured training; mold quality checklists; weekly 5S/5R audits; and Future State Mapping to reduce NNVA/NVA. The integrated DMAIC–VSM roadmap is expected to shorten lead time, raise the value-added ratio, and improve surface finish quality, offering a transferable blueprint for similar manufacturing operations.

Abstract

Machines or equipment are the most important part of a work system. Machines require effective and efficient maintenance to be able to guarantee and support business processes so they can operate properly. Maintenance activities are the most important part of the company's business programs in both the manufacturing and service industries. The Middle East Gas Industry is one of the industries that runs gas service processes. Based on observations, it was found that the engine had a breakdown problem which resulted in the machine not being able to operate optimally. This study aims to analyze the factors that cause the machine to experience a break down and make improvements so that the engine performance increases. This study uses the Fishbone method and Total Productive Maintenance. The research object was carried out on the Loading Arm machine. The problems that occur are caused by damage to Swifel. Improvements are made by carrying out the TPM pillars, namely planned maintenance and focused improvement. The results of the study show that during the initial period of 2023 there will be no leaks in the seals thereby increasing the performance of the Loading Arm and increasing productivity.

Abstract

This study evaluates the feasibility of implementing an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system in the Cosmetics and Household Needs sub-sector using engineering economics and system-dynamics simulation. The investment targets operational efficiency and the correction of transaction and inventory discrepancies. Financial viability was assessed via Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), and Payback Period (PP), complemented by a multi-year Vensim simulation to capture dynamic cash-flow effects. Results indicate strong feasibility: NPV of Rp 119,654,313 over five years, IRR of 50.38% far above a 3.5% benchmark and a 7-month payback, with simulated trajectories showing increasing NPV and sustained positive cash flow under varying income, expense, and customer-growth assumptions. The ERP solution is at Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 7–8, reflecting prototype demonstration in an operational environment. The initiative aligns with institutional KPIs on digital transformation, efficiency, and financial performance, and supports SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure) and SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) by promoting efficient resource management and sustainable industrial practices. Collectively, the evidence suggests ERP adoption is both financially sound and strategically beneficial for firms in this sub-sector.

Abstract

In the era of globalization and digitalization, sustainable entrepreneurship is one of the key factors in encouraging inclusive and environmentally friendly economic growth. Effective resource management is a major challenge for business actors, especially in ensuring business competitiveness amidst increasingly fierce competition. Along with technological developments, resource management strategies have also undergone significant transformation. Initially, resource management strategies emphasized operational efficiency and cost savings. However, as awareness of the importance of sustainability increases, this approach has developed into a more holistic strategy that takes into account economic, social and environmental aspects. Indonesian Migrant Workers (TKI) in Penang, Malaysia have a great potential to develop sustainable entrepreneurship. However, many TKI still face difficulties in managing resources effectively, which hinders their entrepreneurship competitiveness. With the advancement of technology and globalization, effective resource management has become crucial to enhance sustainable entrepreneurship competitiveness.
