Abstract

The development of soft skills remains a critical challenge in vocational education, as the curriculum often prioritises technical competencies while neglecting systematic integration of interpersonal skills. This study aims to develop and evaluate the Peer-Engaged Project Application Model (PePA), a project-based learning framework designed to enhance communication, teamwork, and problem-solving through structured peer engagement. Employing a Research and Development (R&D) approach based on the ADDIE model, the research was conducted in the D4 Mechanical Engineering Program at Yogyakarta State University. The PePA model was tested on a group of 15 students in the Fabrication Construction Practices course. Data were collected through Likert-scale questionnaires, structured observations, and semi-structured interviews, and analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics, along with qualitative techniques. The implementation of PePA resulted in improved performance in soft skills, with average scores increasing from 3.03 to 3.65 (communication), 3.20 to 3.78 (teamwork), and 3.13 to 3.70 (problem-solving). The model was also rated as “very valid” by expert evaluators, with an average validation score ranging from 3.58 to 3.85. These findings suggest that PePA is a feasible and effective learning model for strengthening vocational students' soft skills in alignment with industry expectations. The model has potential applicability beyond engineering education and supports policy recommendations for integrating soft skills into vocational curricula.

Abstract

Continuous Improvement (CI) has become a critical management philosophy for achieving sustainable competitiveness in manufacturing industries. However, despite its widespread adoption, many CI initiatives fail due to human‐related barriers that hinder implementation at the organizational level. This study aims to identify and analyze the key human factors that impede CI implementation in Indonesian manufacturing industries and to explore strategies for overcoming these challenges. Using a qualitative exploratory design, data were collected through in-depth interviews with 15 manufacturing practitioners and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings reveal seven major human-related inhibitors to successful CI implementation: complacency, misperception, irritability, individualism, work rigidity, frustration, and stress.  Collectively, these factors erode motivation, weaken collaborative capabilities, and intensify resistance to organizational change, which in turn restricts organizational learning and performance enhancement. The results corroborate existing literature emphasizing the significance of human and cultural aspects in sustaining CI initiatives. To address these barriers, the study highlights the importance of fostering a supportive organizational culture that promotes psychological safety, teamwork, and incremental learning through the Kaizen philosophy. Management interventions should focus on strengthening human engagement, realistic goal setting, and reward mechanisms that value collective effort and continuous learning.This study contributes to the growing body of knowledge on CI by providing an in-depth understanding of the human dimension of continuous improvement in developing-country manufacturing contexts. The findings offer both theoretical enrichment and practical guidance for leaders seeking to cultivate sustainable CI cultures driven by people rather than processes.

Abstract

The use of battery packs as a source of electrical energy on E-Inobus requires a cooling system, the goal is to maintain battery pack performance in optimal conditions. In its application, there are problems due to the use of a cooling system which causes an increase in air humidity inside the battery box resulting in condensation. Therefore, this study aims to obtain a design for optimizing the cooling system battery pack. This study uses the R&D method which refers to the 4D model. The subject of this research is the E-Inobus cooling system battery pack. The object of research is the development of a cooling system battery pack design to prevent condensation. Data collection was carried out to obtain data from testing the cooling system battery pack design using the Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) testing method to be used as input parameters in testing the cooling system battery pack optimization design. The results of the battery pack testing and the optimization of the battery pack cooling system design will later be used as control set points in the reconditioned box design. The results of this study are in the form of a reconditioned box design that has a control system.

Abstract

This study aims to increase production effectiveness in the fabrication process for the PT Pou Yuen Indonesia workshop construction by applying Lean Manufacturing and Manufacturing Cycle Effectiveness (MCE). The research used a quantitative descriptive method by taking representative samples from the overall production process in the cutting, setting, and submerged arc welding (SAW) lines. Data were collected through interviews, observation, documentation, and measurements of process time and transfer distance. The results show that the most effective cutting method is the method used by MSS, which applies a double-nozzle cutting process. In the setting process, the most effective methods are those used by MKR and MSS because they require fewer workers and have shorter process times than SST. In the welding process, the most effective method is the method used by MKR because flux is supplied during the welding process. Several types of waste were identified, including waiting time, transportation waste, inventory waste, motion waste, and processing waste. Applying the recommended process methods can reduce the total production process time by 9,011.99 seconds for one WF beam and reduce transfer distance by 2,070 m.

Abstract

This study successfully investigated the engine performance and emission characteristics of a dual injection system that uses both gasoline and ethanol fuels. The study utilized a microcontroller-based control system (PGM-FI) to substitute ethanol fuel injection for gasoline injection. Ethanol fuel was injected at the inlet with three different pressures: 1.0 bar, 1.2 bar, and 1.4 bar, while gasoline injector pressure was fixed at 2 bar. Results showed that substituting ethanol injection with a pressure of 1 bar resulted in a slight decrease in torque and power, but it was the best compared to the other pressures tested. The study found that the use of ethanol injection resulted in improved fuel economy at an ethanol injector pressure of 1 bar with a reduction in SFC of 8.89%. Exhaust emissions were also reduced, with a maximum reduction in CO emissions of 42.54% occurring at a pressure of 1 bar. Similarly, the lowest HC content in exhaust gas was observed at a pressure of 1 bar, which was reduced by 44.48%. However, the results highlighted that ethanol injection pressure could significantly reduce fuel consumption for case A-04 and increase the air-fuel ratio.
