Abstract

This research endeavors to employ sales forecasting techniques on historical sales data for the purpose of determining the sales budget. The application of forecasting is based on sales data from the preceding period, utilizing a descriptive qualitative method. The analysis employs the half-average trend method, generating an estimated sales figure for the upcoming period. This estimate serves as a reference for both inventory planning and the formulation of the sales budget. Within this research, the half-average trend method involves the selection of two X parameter values, namely 0.5 and 0. To determine the superior value, a calculation of SKF (Standard Error of Forecasting) is executed. The analysis results reveal that utilizing the value 0 yields an SKF value of 4,166.6, while the value 0.5 produces a lower SKF value of 3,941.6. This implies that the estimated sales number with the X value of 0.5 is smaller than that with the X value of 0. Conclusively, the application of the half-average trend method in this research provides sales estimates for the next three months, contributing valuable insights for effective planning and budgeting processes.

Abstract

This research discusses the effectiveness of using budgets as a means of controlling production costs at PT. Sari Tuna Makmur in the 2017-2021 period. By examining the budget and realization of direct labor costs (salary costs), factory overhead costs, as well as differences in budgeted tuna production costs, this research aims to identify factors that influence variations between budget and realization. The research results show that the company is generally successful in controlling production costs. Although there are variations in direct labor costs during the COVID-19 pandemic, PT. Sari Tuna Makmur was able to achieve production costs that were lower than the budget in previous years. Internal factors such as business policies, production capacity, and production facilities, as well as external factors such as competition and consumer demand, play an important role in successful cost control. However, special challenges arise during the pandemic, where the decision not to reduce the workforce may result in direct labor cost deviations. Therefore, this research recommends increasing the accuracy of budget preparation and more detailed attention to factors that influence production costs, especially in unexpected situations. This research contributes to the understanding of production cost control strategies amidst the dynamics of the business environment. The practical implication is the need for companies to continue to optimize cost control strategies, consider changes in external conditions, and increase accuracy in preparing budgets to maintain the company's operational and financial sustainability.

Nasi Telor Ma Edja, a home-based culinary venture in Bandung, exemplifies these challenges. The growing dominance of social media as a marketing tool necessitates strategic and adaptive approaches. This study aims to improve brand recognition for Nasi Telor Ma Edja by applying a content-driven digital marketing strategy on Instagram, a platform that has proven effective for micro-brands seeking greater exposure and audience engagement.
