Abstract

Medical waste management is a major challenge in the health system, especially in ensuring cost efficiency while minimizing environmental impacts. This study aims to analyze the relationship between the application of reverse logistics and the cost efficiency of medical waste management in health clinics. The methodology used is a quantitative approach with a sample of 36 respondents involved in medical waste management. Data was collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using the Chi-Square test to evaluate the relationship between variables. The research results show a significant relationship between the implementation of reverse logistics and cost efficiency, where better implementation can substantially reduce operational expenditure. The conclusions of this research indicate that medical waste management through reverse logistics effectively increases cost efficiency, and supports environmental sustainability. The practical implications of these findings can be a reference for health clinic managers in designing more efficient waste management strategies.

Abstract

Optimization is an effort to improve process outcomes in an ideal and effective manner. One approach to solving queuing system problems is through simulation. The Kernel Crushing Plant faces queuing issues due to uneven workload distribution among the sampling tower, laboratory, and weighbridge. This condition requires improvements to the queuing system model to achieve a more efficient process flow. Using Promodel software, the queuing system at the Kernel Crushing Plant can be virtually visualized by developing a new model. The proposed model includes separating palm kernel analysis from production analysis, implementing a robotic system for palm kernel sampling, and adding Foss NIRS equipment. The implementation of this model has been proven to reduce laboratory workload (percentage of operation) by nearly 23%, resulting in a more balanced productivity across all locations.

Abstract

In today’s era of rapid industrial advancement, the palm oil industry in Indonesia has experienced significant growth, intensified competition and prompting companies to enhance production quality to remain competitive. Predominantly acting as raw material suppliers, many palm oil companies, including those in Southeast Sulawesi, are required to meet stringent quality standards set by their domestic and international partners. One such company processes oil palm into crude palm oil (CPO), palm kernel, fibre, and kernel shell, with CPO and kernel being distributed to partner companies under strict quality agreements. A breach of these agreements, particularly in kernel quality, has led to penalties and potential termination of partnerships. Palm kernel oil (PKO), a high-value derivative, must meet quality criteria such as free fatty acid content, moisture, dirt content, and kernel integrity. Observations revealed recurring deviations from these standards, notably in excessive dirt content. This study aims to identify root causes of quality issues using the Seven Quality Control Tools method, supported by primary data including production outputs and interviews with workers. The analysis identified key contributing factors: inadequate adherence to machine efficiency guidelines by operators, sorting errors in raw materials, and mismatched or poorly maintained machinery. Corrective actions were proposed using 5W+1H analysis, emphasizing the need for operator compliance with efficiency protocols, improved raw material handling, and appropriate machine usage and maintenance to ensure consistent kernel quality aligned with agreed standards.

Abstract

The company's main objective is to achieve profitability through an optimal production process, which is highly dependent on the availability and efficient management of raw materials. Although vital, raw material supplies must be managed optimally—not excessively—for cost efficiency, which requires careful calculation of the ideal purchase quantity and timing. Toko Classic Donat Kendari still implements an inefficient purchasing policy, which is based on estimates (purchasing small quantities when supplies are running low) to prevent spoilage. This study aims to evaluate the control of raw material inventory at Toko Classic Donat Kendari using the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) method. This study uses a combined qualitative and quantitative approach, with data collection through interviews and documentation. The results of the study indicate that Toko Classic Donat Kendari can control raw material inventory more effectively through the application of the EOQ method. The implementation of EOQ has been proven to optimize ordering costs and storage costs, which overall contribute to a reduction in total inventory costs.

Abstract

This study is motivated by the importance of efficiency in material handling within warehouse logistics systems, which is influenced by physical factors, particularly the coefficient of friction of floor surfaces. The objective of this research is to analyze the effect of the coefficient of friction on pushing force and the operational efficiency of material handling in warehouses. The method employed is a direct experimental approach by moving a 10 kg load using a trolley over a distance of 5 meters on three types of surfaces: ceramic, wood, and carpet. Each treatment was repeated 20 times. The observed variables include pushing force, travel time, work, efficiency, and coefficient of friction, which were subsequently analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results indicate that an increase in the coefficient of friction significantly increases the required pushing force and travel time, while reducing system efficiency. The ANOVA test produced a significance value of 0.000 (<0.05), indicating a significant difference among the surface types. Furthermore, Pearson correlation analysis revealed a very strong relationship between the coefficient of friction and pushing force (r = 0.990). Ceramic surfaces yielded the highest efficiency compared to wood and carpet. The study concludes that selecting floor materials with a low coefficient of friction can significantly improve the operational efficiency of material handling in warehouses, making it an important consideration in logistics system design.

Abstract

PT. XXX is a manufacturing fabrication company whose production process still involves non-value-added activities, resulting in a mismatch between planned and actual timelines, including a three-day delay in the production of the Car Body Stand. This study aims to identify value-added and non-value-added activities, calculate cycle time, and analyze Manufacturing Cycle Effectiveness (MCE) by comparing predicted and actual timelines, as well as to propose improvements to enhance production performance. The findings show that total value-added activities reach 480.5 hours, while non-value-added activities account for 41 hours. The predicted cycle time is 467 hours, whereas the actual cycle time extends to 551.5 hours. The MCE is 88.9% under predicted conditions and 85.8% in actual conditions. After implementing the proposed improvements, non-value-added activities decrease to 27 hours, and the cycle time improves to 523.5 hours, leading to an increased MCE of 90.4%. Overall, these results suggest that reducing non-value-added activities can effectively improve production efficiency and reduce delays.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze and control the quality of Tank Cold Water OPP model products using the Seven Tools method and the PDCA cycle. Production defect data from June 2023 to April 2024 (15 observation periods) were analyzed using checksheets, histograms, P-control charts, scatter diagrams, Pareto diagrams, and fishbone diagrams. Results show that out of 2,143,806 total production units, 79,995 defective units were recorded, yielding an average defect rate of 3.73%. Based on the Pareto diagram, Foreign Material is the most dominant defect type at 55.51%, followed by Blackdot (30.34%) and Oily (14.15%). Fishbone diagram analysis identified four main root-cause categories: machine, environment, method, and personnel. Corrective action proposals were formulated using the 5W+1H framework, covering periodic machine maintenance, production area housekeeping, SOP updates, and structured operator training. This research is expected to serve as a reference to pursuit of zero defect production.
