Abstract

General Background: Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are vital to economic development, yet many face challenges in expanding their market reach. Specific Background: The Puli Cracker MSME, owned by Mrs. Makilah, exemplifies this challenge, as it primarily relies on local orders without strategies for broader market expansion. Knowledge Gap: A lack of business development skills, particularly in product packaging, branding, and certification, hinders the potential growth of many small businesses like Mrs. Makilah's. Aims: This community service project aims to assist the Puli Cracker MSME in creating packaging stickers, improving product packaging, and obtaining halal certification to enable market expansion beyond the local community. Results: Through interviews and observations, the project identified key areas for improvement, including product labeling, packaging redesign, and halal certification registration. The implementation stages included creating packaging stickers, repackaging the crackers, and fulfilling halal certification requirements, all of which positively impacted the business. Novelty: The project introduced a structured, step-by-step approach to MSME development, combining product enhancement with halal certification, which is often overlooked in small-scale enterprises. Implications: The improvements in packaging and branding, along with the halal certification, are expected to significantly enhance the marketability and credibility of Mrs. Makilah’s Puli Cracker, allowing it to reach a wider market. These interventions provide a replicable model for other MSMEs aiming to grow sustainably and expand their market share.

Abstract

General Background Inventory control plays a critical role in ensuring operational efficiency in water treatment systems. Specific Background Poly Aluminium Chloride (PAC) is a key chemical used in PDAM operations, requiring proper inventory management to avoid shortages and excessive costs. Knowledge Gap However, existing ordering policies often rely on frequent purchases without optimal cost considerations. Aims This study aims to analyze PAC inventory control using the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) method to determine optimal ordering quantity and minimize total costs. Results The findings show that the optimal order quantity is 151,669.56 kg with an ordering frequency of 4 times per year, compared to 48 times under the company policy. Total inventory cost decreases from Rp54,287,987.83 to Rp7,886,816.84, resulting in significant cost savings. Safety stock is calculated at 10,199 kg and reorder point at 20,398 kg. Novelty This study applies EOQ analysis to PAC inventory in a water treatment context using real operational data. Implications The results provide a practical approach for improving inventory efficiency and reducing operational costs in water treatment companies. Keywords: Economic Order Quantity, Inventory Control, PAC Chemical, Water Treatment, Cost Optimization Key Findings Highlights Optimal order size significantly larger than current practice Ordering frequency reduced from monthly to quarterly pattern Inventory cost shows substantial reduction after method application
