Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the 1focusing on aspects of responsiveness and accountability. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method with a case study approach. The study population includes all employees of the Inspectorate and Regional Government Organizations (OPD) in Sidenreng Rappang Regency, with the sample selected using purposive sampling techniques. The findings indicate that the effectiveness of the Sidenreng Rappang Inspectorate's oversight has been well-executed, demonstrated through indicators of responsiveness such as the ability to respond to the public, speed, accuracy, timeliness in service, and complaint handling. The accountability aspect is also proven effective based on the Government Agency Performance Report (LKjIP), which serves as a reference in achieving the Inspectorate's vision and mission, as well as the preparation of performance-based accountability reports. However, the study also identified several challenges, including limited human resources and the lack of public dissemination of oversight documents. These results explain that the Sidenreng Rappang Regency Inspectorate is effective in its role as an internal supervisor, transitioning from its initial function as a watchdog to now functioning as a mentor, consultant, early warning system, and quality assurance. However, continuous efforts are needed to enhance capacity and oversight effectiveness to support better governance.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of Kaizen concept implementation on production cost control among micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in the food and beverage sector in Pangkajenne City, and to investigate the mediating role of financial literacy. One of the persistent issues faced by MSMEs is weak cost control due to inadequate cost recording and management practices. The Kaizen approach, which emphasizes continuous and incremental improvement, is expected to enhance cost efficiency. However, its effectiveness is believed to be maximized when supported by sufficient financial literacy. A descriptive quantitative method was employed, and data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares (PLS). Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 97 food and beverage MSME owners operating container-based outlets in Pangkajenne. The results reveal that: (1) Kaizen implementation has a positive and significant effect on production cost control; (2) financial literacy also has a positive and significant effect on production cost control; and (3) financial literacy significantly mediates the relationship between Kaizen implementation and production cost control. These findings suggest that achieving optimal cost efficiency requires not only consistent application of Kaizen practices but also strengthening financial literacy among MSME actors.
