Abstract

This study assesses coal and overburden production efficacy for the mining sequence at Pit Rista, PT Dewa Sukses Mandiri, South Sumatra, during July and August 2025, and recommends operational enhancements to facilitate production objectives in the following months. The investigation was prompted by the inability to meet monthly production targets, as evidenced by insufficient effective working hours, excessive downtime, low equipment availability, and discrepancies between planned and actual mining progress. A quantitative evaluative method was employed utilizing primary data consisting of loading and hauling cycle durations, alongside secondary data such as production reports, working hours, downtime records, mine design, and mining sequence plans. The examination encompassed equipment productivity, job efficiency, match factor, physical availability (PA), use of availability (UA), Pareto analysis of downtime, and a comparison between planned and actual implementation of the mining sequence. The findings indicate that production deficits in July and August 2025 were mostly attributable to diminished effective working hours resulting from operational and mechanical delays, low PA and UA values, and discrepancies between the planned mining sequence and actual field execution. In July, the primary cause of lost time was the lack of hauling help, however in August, weather-related delays emerged as the principal limitation. These conditions impeded mining advancement and diminished overall output efficacy. In light of these findings, production optimization should prioritize enhancing mining sequence execution, reinforcing equipment maintenance and oversight, reconfiguring pit front and haul road geometry, and regulating haul road gradients to minimize downtime and enhance operational efficiency.

Abstract

The rising adoption of aftermarket devices in the car modification industry has heightened interest in the piggyback throttle controller as an effective means of modifying throttle response without substituting the original ECU. Nonetheless, its impact on torque and power remains inadequately substantiated through controlled experimentation. This study experimentally assessed the impact of a 9-Drive piggyback throttle controller on the performance parameters of a 2011 Toyota Yaris 1500 cc EFI engine utilizing a chassis dynamometer. The car underwent testing under four conditions: no treatment, Standard mode, F1 mode, and ECO mode, with each condition replicated three times. The findings indicated that F1 mode generated the maximum average torque, attaining 177.13 Nm, which was 15.03 Nm greater than the untreated condition. Conversely, ECO mode yielded the highest average power at 98.60 HP, whereas Standard mode exhibited just negligible variations in both metrics. The data demonstrate that the controller did not produce a consistent performance enhancement across all modes, but instead altered the engine's output characteristics in a mode-dependent fashion. Under the current testing conditions, F1 mode exhibited a more pronounced torque-oriented response, while ECO mode demonstrated marginally greater power output. The findings indicate that a piggyback throttle controller can alter engine response characteristics, however its impact must be assessed in relation to the chosen mode and the particular performance metric under evaluation.

Abstract

Effective pharmaceutical inventory control is essential for maintaining drug availability while minimizing losses from overstock, stockouts, and product expiration in healthcare facilities. This study examines injectable drug inventory planning at Clinic X using a Continuous Review System within a probabilistic inventory model. Historical demand data for 18 injectable drugs from January to December 2023 were analyzed through demand forecasting, calculation of optimal order quantity, reorder point, safety stock, and maximum inventory level, estimation of expired products, and comparison of total inventory cost before and after implementation of the proposed policy. The results show that the proposed model reduced total inventory cost from IDR 35,853,564 under the existing clinic policy to IDR 23,339,897, yielding savings of IDR 12,513,667, or approximately 35%. The model-based expiration estimate indicated zero expected expired units for all observed injectable drugs under the proposed ordering policy and calculation assumptions. These findings indicate that incorporating product expiration into continuous review inventory planning can support more cost-efficient and responsive drug inventory management in healthcare facilities.

Abstract

Reliable engine starting in conventional vehicles depends on the SLI battery’s ability to deliver high cranking current while maintaining voltage under load. This study evaluated a 12-V maintenance-free lead-acid SLI battery rated at 450 A CCA under practical ambient cold-start (20–30 °C) and hot-start (85–105 °C) conditions. Testing was conducted over four consecutive days using measured CCA, CCA ratio, minimum cranking voltage, open-circuit voltage (OCV), and starter duration. The tested battery showed generally better cranking indicators under the hot-start condition, with higher measured CCA, higher CCA ratio, slightly higher minimum cranking voltage, and shorter average starter duration. OCV remained stable at approximately 12.5–12.6 V, indicating that the observed cranking differences were not mainly associated with major no-load voltage variation. The combined use of CCA, cranking voltage, OCV, and starter duration provides a practical diagnostic basis for evaluating SLI battery starting readiness.

Abstract

Processing residue from tin beneficiation still contains unrecovered cassiterite that can be upgraded through gravity concentration. This study describes the variation in tin (Sn) concentrate grade obtained from Sisa Hasil Pengolahan (SHP) at PT Timah Tbk under different shaking table deck inclination settings and actual plant operating conditions. Experiments were conducted at a constant water flow rate of 0.43 L/s using three deck inclinations: 1.5°, 2.0°, and 2.5°. Each condition was tested in three repetitions. Feed and concentrate samples were dried, homogenized, ground, and analyzed using X-ray fluorescence (XRF). The mean concentrate grade increased from 4.77% Sn at 1.5° to 11.58% Sn at 2.0° and 13.02% Sn at 2.5°. These results indicate that higher deck inclination within the tested range corresponded to improved concentrate grade. However, the findings remain descriptive because recovery, mass balance, and inferential statistical analysis were not included.

Abstract

Transformer oil purification combines electrical isolation, auxiliary power, pressurized oil transfer, dielectric testing, and recommissioning, creating interconnected electrical and oil-handling hazards. This study mapped task-level risks and specified stage-specific controls for the purification workflow at PT PLN Batam using Job Safety Analysis. A single-site case study examined ten stages through observation, 30 maintenance interviews, and operational safety-document review. Hazards were classified retrospectively using a 5 × 5 likelihood–severity matrix. Seven stages were rated high risk and three medium risk. Purification-unit connection received the highest score (15) because electrical and oil-transfer interfaces converge at this stage. Proposed controls emphasize verified isolation, lockout/tagout, competent authorization, pressure-rated connections, containment, spill readiness, and independent restoration checks. Under assumed full implementation and verification, the profile is projected to shift to seven medium-risk and three low-risk stages. The study provides a transparent task-level control map while distinguishing projected residual risk from measured outcomes.

Abstract

Mine haul roads must satisfy geometric standards to ensure safe and reliable heavy-equipment mobilization. This study evaluated the inactive Tesla haul road at Pit Banko Tengah A, South Sumatra, for reactivation using Komatsu HD-785 rigid dump trucks. Existing road geometry was assessed against operational standards, followed by 3D spatial redesign and cut-and-fill volume estimation in hilly terrain. The results showed that several straight segments require widening, with the largest correction reaching 7.93 m to meet the 24 m standard. Segment 5 also requires curve widening and superelevation correction, with actual superelevation of 0.064 m compared with the 1.223 m design requirement. Road grades remained within the 8% maximum limit. The redesign produced an excavation-dominant earthwork profile, consisting of 203.92 BCM of cut and 9.79 BCM of fill. These findings provide a practical basis for planning haul-road reactivation while aligning geometric compliance with earthwork requirements.

Abstract

Agricultural waste-derived bioethanol offers a renewable gasoline-blending option for spark-ignition engines. This study compared sugarcane bagasse- and pineapple waste-derived bioethanol blends in a fuel-injected Honda BeAT motorcycle operated under a common HHO-system configuration. Five fuel formulations—E0, E5-SC, E10-SC, E5-PW, and E10-PW—were tested at 1500, 4000, and 7000 rpm. CO, HC, CO₂, and O₂ were measured using a four-gas analyzer, while λ and AFR were reported by the analyzer. Results are presented as means from three replicate runs. E10-SC recorded the lowest mean CO concentration at 4000 rpm and the lowest mean HC concentration at 7000 rpm, whereas E10-PW recorded the lowest mean CO concentration at 7000 rpm. The formulation rankings varied with engine speed and measured parameter. Because HHO was not tested independently, its specific contribution could not be determined.

Abstract

Generative artificial intelligence is increasingly used in higher education, yet evidence from applied engineering programs remains limited. This descriptive survey examined self-reported ChatGPT use across six academic dimensions among 51 first- and third-semester students enrolled in an Applied Bachelor program in Mechatronics Engineering Technology who had previously used ChatGPT. A 30-item, five-point Likert questionnaire assessed frequency of use, theory, report writing, coding, design, and usage behavior. Descriptive statistics and Cronbach's alpha were calculated. Overall use was moderate (M = 3.270). Theory had the highest mean (M = 3.490), followed by design (M = 3.290), frequency of use (M = 3.255), coding (M = 3.243), reports (M = 3.180), and usage behavior (M = 3.161). The full instrument yielded alpha = 0.923, whereas Reports (alpha = 0.581) and Usage Behavior (alpha = 0.450) showed weak internal consistency. The findings indicate that ChatGPT primarily supported conceptual learning; broader interpretation requires caution.

Abstract

Landslides occurred on the Block 16 sidewall at PT XYZ, where the upper benches comprise low-stability fill and the lower benches comprise bedded rock. This study characterized the rock mass, assessed discontinuity-controlled failure potential, calibrated the failed-slope condition by back analysis, and compared counterweight reinforcement with slope-geometry redesign. Scanline mapping, Rock Mass Rating (RMR), stereographic kinematic analysis, Slope Mass Rating (SMR), and Bishop-simplified limit-equilibrium simulations in Slide 6.0 were applied. The lower rock benches had an average RMR of 69.5 and an SMR of 68.6. Oblique-toppling criteria were satisfied by 7.62% of the analyzed discontinuities. The initial model yielded an SF of 1.239, while back analysis reproduced the failure condition at SF = 0.995. Counterweighting increased SF to 1.324 using 42.6 m³/m of fill; geometry redesign produced SF = 1.352 with 264.98 m³/m of excavation. Both alternatives met the SF > 1.3 criterion, but counterweighting required substantially less material handling.
