Abstract

Background, The prospect of oil palm plantations is currently rising significantly to become a favourite business. However, the work activities of TBS loading-unloading workers are still performed without paying attention to ergonomic aspects and have the potential for MSDs. Aim: To map the potential MSDs of TBS loading-unloading workers, serving as a basis for improving the work system. Methods: The inclusion sample of TBS loading-unloading workers was observed and interviewed using the NBM questionnaire to diagnose potential MSDs resulting from MMH work activities. Ergo-MMH was applied to provide recommendations for improving work system design based on the AT and SHIP approaches. Results: The primary causes of MSDs are unnatural working attitudes and excessive muscle tension resulting from work systems that are not designed per the limitations of workers. Twelve body parts are directly involved in MMH activities. Conclusions, Possible MSDs on the back, left and right shoulders, right and left upper arms, right forearm, left and right wrists, left and right hands, and upper and lower neck. Implication, Ergo-MMH-based mapping of potential MSDs in manual material handling activities of TBS loading-unloading workers for the academic world; research, theory development, and education. For society, public awareness, community development, and social support. For the nation and state, work safety, economic growth, and public health. For the international community, international collaboration, standards development, and technology development

Abstract

Background. PT SMS produces bottled drinking water (amdk) in gallons and cups with Vit and Forme brands for gallon packaging and Airnes, Forma, and OK Oce brands in cup packaging. In identifying the problem at PT SMS, it was found that the work system is not well-designed and lacks ergonomics at several workstations, which has an impact on achieving less than optimal daily productivity. The output per work shift set by the company is 2,100 gallons and 3,150 boxes for cup packaging, but in fact, it can only produce approximately 2,050 gallons and 3,000 boxes. Aim. Analyze the factors that cause the work system to be less effective and less ergonomic. The formulation of work system factors encompasses physical work environment factors, equipment, infrastructure, machinery, workload factors, and organisational factors. Methods. The Macro Ergonomic Analysis and Design (MEAD) method is used to identify factors that affect the work system and then implement improvements and design changes based on the identified factors. Results. Physical work environment factors and organisational factors are problems within the work system at PT SMS, as the workspace designated for the production workflow lacks ergonomic support for employees' postures while working, and task management is inadequate. The machinery has not been crafted based on the anthropometric measurements of the workers. Oversight is absent for the work being done, and the standard time required for the production process has yet to be established. So that it increases productivity per work shift at PT. SMS is not optimal and experiences over time. Conclusions. Redesign of physical work environment facilities, scheduling of rest periods, and organisational factors through supervision from PT SMS resulted in output per shift meeting the standards set by the company.. Implication. The application of MEAD can identify factors that cause suboptimal productivity. Redesigning ergonomic physical work environment facilities, scheduling rest periods, and supervisory organisational factors within the company have an impact on optimising productivity, as measured by the output per shift set by the company

Abstract

Background. Good audit quality reflects the level of confidence that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by errors or fraud. When audit quality is low, for example, because auditors are not independent, tenure is too long without rotation, or the audit fee is too high, creating a conflict of interest, the risk of not detecting fraud increases. Aim. This study aims to reveal the strategic role of the audit committee in improving audit quality through analysing the relationship between fees, tenure, and auditor rotation on audit quality. With a quantitative approach and the aid of AMOS software, as well as Path Analysis techniques, this study aims to empirically map the structural relationship between these variables within the framework of governance and resource dependence. Methods. In conducting this research, the authors chose a research place in manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the period 2018-2021. In terms of type, this research uses a quantitative approach. Data in the form of numbers is collected through access to the Indonesia Stock Exchange website. This research uses descriptive and verification methods. The analysis technique employed is path analysis, utilizing AMOS (Analysis of Moment Structures) software. Result. Based on the results of model testing, it is found that only audit fees affect the audit committee. The absence of an effect of audit fees on audit quality in companies can be attributed to the level of professionalism of public accounting firms, which continue to maintain optimal audit quality, regardless of the amount of fees received. In contrast, the tenure and auditor rotation variables in this study did not show a significant effect on the audit committee, which indicates that these two variables may not yet be the main factors considered by the audit committee in their supervisory practices, or that their effects are more indirect and take longer to be observed. Conclusion. Based on the test results obtained, it is found that: (1) Only audit fees affect the audit committee, (2) Based on the regression test results, it is found that FA has a significant adverse effect on KOM_AUDIT with an estimate value of -0.090, standard error of 0.019, critical ratio of -4.729, and significance level of p < 0.001. This indicates that an increase in FA will lead to a decrease in the Audit Committee (3) In general, these findings confirm that in this model, the FA factor has an essential role in influencing the Audit Committee. At the same time, other aspects have not shown a significant relationship. This result implies that efforts to increase or change FA need more attention to improve or maintain audit quality. (4) In this study, it was found that audit fees affect the audit committee but have no effect on the audit quality of manufacturing companies. This result aligns with the principle of Resource Dependence Theory, where companies, through audit committees, seek to manage their relationships with external auditors as audit service providers to secure a crucial resource: quality audit services. Implementation. With the increasing complexity and risk of financial fraud, the results of this study are expected to make theoretical and practical contributions in encouraging the improvement of audit quality, strengthening audit committees, and developing more accountable corporate governance policies.

Abstract

Background, The production process at CV Natural is critical because the sales results of the product are to turn the wheels of the company's economy. The duration of production significantly affects the company because of the targets it must meet. In the production process of wooden carpets and various interior mat products from wood, there is much waste of wood raw materials, while if the wood is stored for too long, damage will occur. So, with this waste, there is a waste of storage costs on wood raw materials. Aim: This study aims to determine the application and role of Just In Time (JIT) in the efficiency of the company's production costs. Methods, JIT methods can streamline production costs without having to reduce product quality—determination of the optimal order quantity, applying JIT to the production line with the concept of line balancing. Results: The company's raw material inventory policy is not optimal and has not shown production cost efficiency compared to using the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) method or the JIT method. Conclusions: if using the EOQ method, the company can save 63.89% or Rp. 113,473,933.41 of production costs, and if using the JIT method, the company can save 95.47% or Rp. 112,332,193.00 of the total inventory cost of Rp. 177,655,932.73. Implication, CV. Natural's JIT implementation has the potential to improve production cost efficiency significantly, provided it is managed with a solid supply chain management strategy and supported by adequate information systems. However, risk mitigation is required through strategic minimum buffers and close supplier relationships.
