Abstract

Introduction of Appropriate Technology at Home Industry (HI) “Rambak Eco” Surakarta to Increase the Production Process Efficiency and Product Quality. The home industry (HI) "Rambak Eco" produces unfried and fried crackers. IRT "Rambak Eco" has limited production capacity, reaching 10 kg of flour per day, so it has been unable to meet market demand. This limited production capacity is caused by the low efficiency of the production process, especially the cracker-slicing process, which still uses manual equipment consisting of knives and cutting boards. Apart from that, the IRT "Rambak Eco" also experienced problems related to inconsistent product quality. The inconsistent quality of cracker products is caused by the low understanding of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) for the Home Industry, manual packaging using PE plastic bags without labelling, and the manual slicing process impact on the thickness of the products was not uniform. Efforts to resolve the "Rambak Eco" home industry problems were carried out through community service activities, including introducing a semi-automatic cracker slicer, GMP training, and packaging and labelling. Based on the evaluation, the community service activities increased the efficiency of the “rambak” cracker production process and improved product quality at the "Rambak Eco" HI. The process efficiency was demonstrated by reducing the cracker's slicing process from 30 minutes/Kg to 10 minutes/Kg and the drying process from 9 to 4 hours. Improving product quality includes uniform shape and size of crackers and unfried and fried cracker products packaged in attractive packaging with informative labels.

Abstract

Most of the Joho Village people depend on rice as a staple, which triggers limited economic growth in the agricultural sector. The area has abundant corn yields and is potentially processed as corn grits (rice alternative). Corn processing has solely in dry-shelled corn form, a drop in corn-shelled prices, the stagnant of the Farmers Groups Association (FGA) activity, and the lack of knowledge (food products processing, entrepreneurship, and digital marketing) underlie these community service activities. The service activities aim to optimize the program for implementing science, technology, and FGA empowerment in Joho Village to discover corn grit production potential and ensure the sustainability of FGA community activities. Therefore, the service team agreed with Joho Village FGA to organize programs: (1) Corn grit and production methods socialization (Zoom meetings and direct discussion); (2) Production equipment introduction (direct discussion); (3) Corn grits production training (hands-on practice method); (4) Entrepreneurship and digital marketing socialization (direct discussion). The questionnaire was selected as a socialization evaluation method. Joho Village FGA has high enthusiasm for activity participation (90% of attendance). The service activities succeeded in increasing corn grit production expertise (86% of yield) and improved the knowledge of corn grits (80% of increased knowledge), entrepreneurship (81.25% of increased knowledge), and digital marketing (70% of increased knowledge) of Joho Village FGA. These achievements indicated corn grit production potential as the forecast of their business opportunities in the future and embarked on the beginning of Joho Village FGA’s empowerment sustainability.
