Abstract

Background. This study deals with a System Dynamics (SD) model to investigate technology transition under resource constraints, using small-scale catfish farming as a case study. In this context, land availability constitutes the resource constraint. To address this constraint, it is necessary to achieve catfish productivity gains through technological intensification, such as the use of aquaponics. Methods. The SD model captures feedback interactions among production, operating costs, revenue, profit, and reinvestment by setting aside a portion of profits. The SD model's behavior is analyzed by generating six scenarios over 25 years to examine the effects of feed price fluctuations, fingerling price fluctuations, and alternative reinvestment rates. Model outcomes were evaluated using production, profitability, and the benefit–cost ratio (BCR) as an economic performance indicator. Result. The results show that feed and fingerling price fluctuation exerts a strong negative effect on profitability and economic feasibility, while higher reinvestment rates accelerate aquaponics adoption and improve long-term performance. Conclusion. BCR analysis indicates that technology transition in land-limited catfish farming is feasible only when BCR remains above unity, supporting sustained reinvestment. Implementation. The study highlights the importance of reinvestment strategies and feed and fingerling costs management in enabling resilient technological upgrading in spatially constrained aquaculture systems.

Abstract

Background. Lean Management and Lean Construction have been widely recognized as effective approaches to improving efficiency, reducing waste, and enhancing organizational performance. However, the readiness of construction organizations—particularly State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs)—to implement Lean Management remains insufficiently explored, especially in developing countries. Aims. This study aims to assess the factors influencing Lean Management implementation and to evaluate the readiness level of Indonesian construction SOEs using a quantitative approach. The research adopts Lean Management as its theoretical foundation and applies the Lean Construction Maturity Model (LCMM) as the primary measurement framework to capture organizational readiness comprehensively. Methods. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire distributed to management-level respondents across six Indonesian state-owned construction companies, involving division heads, section managers, staff, and project managers, with a total sample of approximately 250 respondents. The analysis employs linear regression within a structural model to examine the relationships among key readiness factors, including leadership, culture and behavior, competence, continuous improvement support, processes and tools, organizational change, work environment, business results, and learning and competency development. Result. The findings are expected to provide empirical insights into the interdependencies among these factors and to identify critical readiness gaps that may hinder effective Lean Management implementation. Conclusion. This study contributes theoretically by extending the application of LCMM to Lean Management readiness assessment and practically by offering a structured diagnostic framework for SOEs seeking to enhance Lean adoption in the construction sector.

Abstract

Background. For sanitary hygiene, water is used for maintaining personal hygiene, such as bathing and brushing, as well as for food washing, dishwashing, and laundry in daily life, so its quality differs from that of drinking water. This study focuses on heavy metal pollution, particularly lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd), which are known toxic substances harmful to living organisms. Aims. Its purpose is to determine the levels of cadmium and lead in water samples by atomic absorption spectrophotometry at the Lampung Health Laboratory Center, conducted in December 2024-January 2025. T Methods. The method refers to SNI No. 6989.84 of 2019 for 78 samples of sanitary hygiene water by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (SSA). Cadmium (Cd) analysis of 37 samples: 21 were positive for Cd, but none exceeded the threshold limit value of 0.003 mg/L. Conclusion. Meanwhile, the results of the lead (Pb) analysis showed that 1 of 37 samples did not exceed the threshold limit value of 0.01 mg/L, as stipulated in the Indonesian Minister of Health Regulation No. 2 of 2023.

Abstract

Background. Production line balancing is a key element in improving the capacity and stability of manufacturing systems, yet conventional practices often ignore the elastic relationship between production intervals, capacity, and resource structure. This research develops and formalizes Rubber Ball Theory, a theoretical approach that views production systems as elastic entities, where changes in one operational variable trigger compensatory responses in other variables. Aims. The objective of this research is to develop a mathematical model for interval-based production line balancing and analyze its impact on overall supply chain performance. Methods. The research methodology includes developing an interval-based line-balancing optimization model, integrating concepts of bottlenecks and elastic capacity planning, and conducting empirical testing through a manufacturing industry case study. The developed model minimizes the system interval as the primary control variable, accounting for capacity constraints, precedence relationships, and parallel machine configurations. Sensitivity analysis is performed to evaluate the system's response to changes in the target interval and the number of parallel resources. Result. The results show that emphasizing production intervals without adjusting structural capacity leads to system instability and bottleneck displacement, while an elastic approach based on Rubber Ball Theory can sustainably increase production capacity. Furthermore, this approach has been shown to improve the reliability, responsiveness, and efficiency of asset management in the supply chain and contribute to reducing the variability of production flows that trigger the bullwhip effect. Conclusion. The main contribution of this research is the provision of an integrated conceptual and mathematical framework linking production line balancing to supply chain performance through elastic management of production intervals. Implication. These findings provide theoretical and practical implications for designing more adaptive and sustainable production systems and capacity planning.

Abstract

Background. Food security and sustainability are key challenges in the modern food system, characterized by fragmented production, high food losses, and weak coordination among supply chain actors. Food Supply Chain Management (FSCM) is a strategic approach to integrating the flow of products, information, and logistics from upstream to downstream. Aims. This study aims to develop a conceptual model of FSCM based on Koperasi Merah Putih, the primary institutional actor in strengthening the food supply chain. Methods. The research method employed a systematic literature review of relevant scientific publications and policy documents. Result. The study results indicate that the Koperasi Merah Putih has the potential to act as a supply chain coordinator through production aggregation, logistics management, and information management. Information technology support, government policies, and logistics infrastructure strengthen the cooperative's ability to improve FSCM performance. Conclusion. Optimal FSCM performance subsequently contributes to increased food security and the sustainability of the food system. Implementation. The developed conceptual model is expected to serve as a basis for further empirical research and a reference for formulating cooperative-based food policies.

Abstract

Background. PT Rentang Buana Niagamakmur is a spring mattress manufacturing company that faces a decrease in productivity due to worker discomfort and ergonomically suboptimal working postures Purpose. This study aims to identify the causes of workers' physical discomfort in the production process and design work aids that can improve comfort and productivity. Method. The research process began with data collection through observation and interviews to understand the activities of workers at the production station. The Nordic Body Map (NBM) was employed to identify workers’ musculoskeletal complaints, while Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) was applied to evaluate ergonomic risk levels. Results. Based on the results of the analysis, the design of work aids was carried out using an ergonomic approach that suits the needs of workers at fabric measurement and foam cutting stations. Evaluation of the effectiveness of the aids was carried out by comparing REBA scores before and after the use of the aids. Conclusion. The results showed that the main physical complaints of workers were identified in the right wrist, waist, and calf. The design of work aids at the fabric measuring station lowered the REBA score from 11 to 3 (low risk), while the aids at the foam cutting station reduced the score from 7 to 3 (low risk). Implementation. The proposed work aids were shown to significantly reduce physical discomfort and improve productivity at both workstations.
