Abstract

The increasing demand for renewable energy in urban areas necessitates comprehensive location-based assessments of solar photovoltaic (PV) system performance. This study presents a simulation-based comparative analysis of solar energy production potential across three representative Indonesian cities: Serang (Banten Province), Yogyakarta (Special Region of Yogyakarta), and Surabaya (East Java Province), representing the western, central, and eastern geographic zones of Java Island. Using the PVWatts simulation tool with standardized system parameters and historical meteorological data, monthly and annual energy yield, solar irradiance, and AC energy output were evaluated for each location. Results indicate that Surabaya recorded the highest annual solar irradiance of 5.54 kWh/m²/day and the greatest annual AC energy production of 1,501 kWh, followed by Yogyakarta (5.27 kWh/m²/day; 1,442 kWh) and Serang (5.02 kWh/m²/day; 1,360 kWh). All three cities exhibited peak performance during the dry season (June September) and minimum production during the wet season (November February). Surabaya demonstrated the most pronounced seasonal variation, with a peak irradiance of 7.18 kWh/m²/day in September and a minimum of 3.91 kWh/m²/day in December. These findings provide a data-driven framework for optimizing solar energy infrastructure planning in Indonesian urban regions and contribute to national renewable energy transition goals aligned with Sustainable Development Goal 7.

Abstract

Depok Sleman Pharmacy, which has been established since early 2000, is now facing stiff competition from many new competitors, especially franchises with modern and complete services, where service quality is a crucial competitive aspect that has a direct impact on customer satisfaction. Therefore, this study aims to convey the level of customer satisfaction at this pharmacy and formulate service improvement proposals to remain competitive and not appear to be left behind in service facilities. In achieving this goal, the study uses two main methods: the first method is Servqual, which is used to analyze customer satisfaction by measuring the gap between customer expectations and perceptions of five service dimensions, and because the measurement results indicate a negative gap (performance below expectations), it is continued with the stage of formulating improvement proposals using the second method, namely service blueprint, which functions to visualize the entire service flow, including customer interactions (frontstage) and support processes (backstage), in order to address the identified gap points. Data were collected through a physical questionnaire distributed to 100 Depok Pharmacy customers who made in-person transactions on-site between December 2024 and January 2025. The results showed that 19 of the 22 service attributes had a negative gap value, and the overall service quality calculation resulted in a score of 0.964, indicating that most services did not meet customer expectations. Based on these findings, a service blueprint was designed as a proposal for comprehensive improvements to the service flow, in order to improve service quality and strengthen the pharmacy's presence amidst increasingly fierce competition.

Abstract

This workplace case study evaluated sanding postures at CV XYZ using Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) and the Nordic Body Map (NBM). The two workers included represented the operational personnel assigned to the sanding station during the observation period. Both workers performed prolonged bending and squatting postures. NBM scores identified the upper neck, back, and waist as the areas with the highest discomfort, while the initial REBA score was 8, indicating high risk. A standing posture and an anthropometry-based workbench were then developed and simulated in EasyPose. The simulated posture produced a REBA score of 3, or low risk. The recalculated workbench dimensions were 95 cm in height, 70 cm in width, and 161 cm in length. These findings indicate a potential reduction in postural risk, but they do not constitute field validation. Implementation and repeated REBA and NBM measurements are therefore required to confirm changes in discomfort, usability, and work performance.
