<![CDATA[Profit is the difference between the selling price of the product and the cost of production. Increasing profits cannot be done by increasing the selling price, because it will reduce competitiveness in the market. Then one way is to reduce production costs (HPP). HPP is formed from variable costs which include raw material costs, labor costs and costs for using fuel/electricity in the use of production equipment. Ecoprint batik developed in Indonesia starting in 2017 and has a separate place for batik enthusiasts. Batik ecoprint has also penetrated Tegal City and has its own market segment. The development of ecoprint batik is also marked by the development of the coloring method used, the mordant used and also the media used, which was originally only made of cloth, now using leather as an ecoprint medium. The use of leather as a raw material for ecoprint is quite elegant, however, products made from leather are still relatively expensive. This is inseparable from the long production process. The purpose of this research is to find out the factors that can affect HPP and how to overcome them. While the expected benefit is a decrease in production costs. The research was conducted at the UMKM Citra Collection in Tegal City. The research method uses experimental and descriptive methods with a rational method approach. The results of the research are in the form of a boiling device with dimensions of 700 mm in length, 330 mm in width, and 350 mm in height. This tool can reduce production time to 30 – 40 minutes shorter than the normal 2 hours 50 minutes. This tool is also designed to be more comfortable for workers and can reduce the rate of work accidents. The quality of the skin results with the new tool is better, because the wrinkles on the skin have decreased by up to 80%.]]>
