Abstract

Empowering Household Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) is a primary focus in local economic development and community economics. One crucial aspect in enhancing the competitiveness and capabilities of Household MSMEs is effective packaging design. Packaging design is not merely about visual aesthetics but also about functionality and interaction with consumers. The Participatory Learning and Action (PLA) method is utilized to develop effective packaging designs, involving MSME actors, consumers, and other relevant parties. This PLA approach is expected to assist Household MSMEs in facing tight market competition. This research proposes community empowerment activities through the production of Rempeyek products in one of the MSMEs in Majalengka, using the PLA method. The success evaluation of the activities is conducted through the four-level evaluation model (Kirkpatrick), covering reaction, learning, behavior, and results. The evaluation results show an improvement in participants' knowledge, understanding, and skills in packaging design. The overall scores indicate that these activities successfully achieve the Kirkpatrick evaluation goals. Recommendations to enhance the implementation of this service development include increasing the capacity of project participants, addressing deeper issues, local government support, and support for domestic industries. This research demonstrates that training and mentoring in packaging design can provide significant benefits to Household MSMEs, enhancing product quality, market value, and competitiveness in a competitive market.

Abstract

This community service activity aims to integrate Internet of Things (IoT) technology into the monitoring system of a Microhydro Power Plant (PLTMH) in Argamukti Village, Majalengka Regency. The village has significant renewable energy potential, but challenges in real-time energy production monitoring have hindered the plant's optimal performance. By implementing an IoT-based monitoring system, the operational efficiency of the PLTMH can be significantly improved. This program includes training in IoT device installation and guidance for local communities in operating and maintaining the system. The results show a 20% increase in energy production efficiency compared to the period before the monitoring system was implemented. Furthermore, the local community is empowered to manage energy resources independently, supporting the establishment of Energy Self-Sufficient Villages. This initiative aligns with government efforts to promote renewable energy usage in rural areas. The IoT technology implementation also opens opportunities for applications in other sectors such as smart farming and water management, which can sustainably enhance the local community's welfare.
