Abstract

Background: Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a crucial role in driving local economic resilience and community empowerment in developing countries. However, traditional agro-based industries often face structural challenges such as weak management systems, limited access to technology, and unstructured financial documentation. The Home Industry Pia Tape Syam in Jember, Indonesia, exemplifies these constraints, operating within a competitive environment that demands digital adaptation and sustainable growth strategies. Integrating a Decision Support System (DSS) offers a transformative opportunity to improve managerial decision-making and enhance enterprise performance. Aims: This study aims to analyze the business feasibility and development strategies of Pia Tape Syam using the DSS-UMKM version 2.0 model to support sustainable and data-driven decision-making for rural agro-industries. Methods: A mixed-method approach combining qualitative and quantitative analyses was employed. Primary data were collected through structured interviews and financial documentation, followed by DSS-based computation assessing both non-financial (legal, marketing, production, management, and environmental) and financial aspects, including NPV, IRR, BCR, and Payback Period. Results: Findings reveal that environmental and production aspects achieved high feasibility scores, while legal and marketing factors require significant improvement. Financially, the enterprise demonstrated strong viability with an NPV of IDR 246,807,083.26, IRR of 48.72%, and a BCR of 1.75. These results confirm that the DSS approach effectively enhances strategic evaluation and investment decision accuracy in small-scale food industries. Conclusion: The study concludes that integrating DSS into rural MSMEs can significantly strengthen operational efficiency, financial sustainability, and adaptive capacity in a dynamic market environment. Beyond its economic benefits, DSS implementation fosters data literacy and managerial accountability, bridging the gap between traditional entrepreneurship and digital transformation. Hence, the DSS framework serves as a scalable model for empowering local food industries and advancing inclusive rural development across emerging economies.

Abstract

Background: Small-scale food enterprises in Indonesia often rely on inherited production habits rather than structured vocational knowledge, causing inconsistent quality and limited competitiveness. The tofu industry, particularly in rural areas such as Situbondo, faces challenges related to worker discipline, hygiene culture, and process control. These issues highlight the need for strengthening vocational competencies and embedding a quality-oriented work culture within microenterprises. Aims: This study aims to examine how the introduction of a structured improvement framework can enhance workforce behavior, production discipline, and overall quality culture in a rural tofu-processing enterprise. The article reframes technical findings into insights that support vocational learning, organizational development, and local MSME empowerment. Methods: Using a case-study design, the research applies the Six Sigma DMAIC framework to analyze quality issues at UD Barokah. Data were collected through direct observation, interviews with workers and owners, and defect recording across 20 sampling periods. The study investigates four key defect categories—aroma, taste, color, and size—and identifies behavioral, environmental, and procedural factors that influence production performance. Results: Findings show a high defect rate represented by a DPMO value of 269,000 and a sigma level of 2.11, indicating unstable processes and weak adherence to vocational standards of hygiene, measurement accuracy, and equipment maintenance. Dominant defects include discoloration and contamination, which stem from inconsistent worker practices, inadequate sanitation routines, and the absence of standardized procedures. Conclusion: The study demonstrates that technical improvement tools can function as pedagogical instruments that reshape work behavior, reinforce vocational competencies, and cultivate a sustainable quality culture in micro-scale food enterprises. Beyond reducing product defects, the Six Sigma approach encourages structured learning, strengthens accountability among workers, and promotes a culture of cleanliness and precision that is essential for rural MSME development. Embedding such quality-oriented practices is crucial for empowering local enterprises, enhancing consumer trust, and supporting broader educational and socio-economic outcomes in vocational ecosystems.

Abstract

Background: Digital transformation in community-based vocational units remains uneven, particularly in agricultural practice settings where daily operations depend heavily on manual labor. Inefficiencies in attendance monitoring and the absence of real-time managerial data often hinder decision-making and limit empowerment opportunities for casual workers. These challenges motivated the implementation of a digital fingerprint attendance system supported by an integrated monitoring dashboard in the TEFA Integrated Agriculture Unit. Aims: The study aims to evaluate how the introduction of a digital attendance and monitoring system influences managerial efficiency while strengthening the foundation for community empowerment among daily workers engaged in agricultural activities. Methods: A mixed-method approach was adopted, integrating observational data, pre- and post-implementation attendance records, and structured interviews with supervisors and casual workers. Quantitative data captured punctuality trends, consistency of attendance, and time-based operational efficiency, while qualitative insights were used to interpret changes in worker engagement and perceptions of digital tools. Results: Findings indicate a substantial improvement in attendance accuracy, reduced reporting delays, and enhanced managerial oversight through real-time dashboard visualization. Supervisors reported greater clarity in workforce allocation, while workers experienced increased transparency regarding working hours. Although empowerment outcomes were not uniform across individuals, most participants acknowledged that the system encouraged discipline and fairness in workload recognition. Conclusion: The introduction of a digital fingerprint attendance system demonstrates meaningful progress toward strengthening managerial efficiency in community-based vocational units. More importantly, the intervention provides an early but significant foundation for community empowerment by fostering transparency, reinforcing equitable work practices, and promoting technological readiness among casual workers. The study suggests that digital tools, when integrated with ongoing capacity-building efforts, can evolve into broader empowerment mechanisms that improve not only administrative efficiency but also workers’ sense of participation, agency, and long-term inclusion in agricultural digitalization initiatives. Future replication in similar rural contexts is promising, provided that training, responsiveness to local needs, and sustained community engagement remain central.

Abstract

Background: Banana chips micro-enterprises play a significant socio-economic role in rural Indonesia, particularly in regions where agriculture and household-scale processing form the foundation of local livelihoods. UD Dwi Tunggal in Lumajang represents a long-standing community-based enterprise whose production system, value distribution, and inter-actor relationships have not yet been examined through a socio-economic value chain perspective. Understanding these dynamics is essential to reveal how small enterprises sustain competitiveness amid growing market pressures and shifting consumer preferences. Aims: This study aims to investigate the socio-economic dynamics of the banana chips value chain at UD Dwi Tunggal, with a focus on identifying key actors, mapping value creation processes, and analyzing how financial and non-financial benefits are distributed across the chain. Methods: A descriptive qualitative–quantitative design was employed, combining field observations, semi-structured interviews, and cost–value computations. Primary data were collected from banana suppliers, enterprise owners, and regional distributors. Value chain mapping followed Porter’s activity framework, while added value was calculated using a modified Hayami method to quantify income distribution and labor contributions. Results: The findings show that the value chain is driven by three main actors—suppliers, processors, and distributors—whose interactions shape production continuity and market access. Monthly production costs reached approximately IDR 19.8 million, while revenue averaged IDR 54 million. The added value generated was IDR 71,464 per kilogram, indicating strong conversion efficiency and high economic contribution at the processing level. Socially, the enterprise functions as a stable livelihood source for workers and strengthens local supply networks. Conclusion: The study concludes that UD Dwi Tunggal’s value chain demonstrates both economic resilience and socio-cultural embeddedness, enabling the enterprise to sustain competitiveness through localized supplier relationships, community-based labor structures, and consistent product demand. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening rural micro-enterprises as socio-economic anchors in regional development.

Abstract

Background: Teaching Factories (TEFAs) aim to bridge vocational learning and market demand, yet many units struggle to convert production capability into consistent market acceptance, especially in culturally laden agrifood and floriculture categories where meaning, trust, and discoverability matter. Aims: This study examines how local cultural values embedded in branding and customer perceived digitalization strengthen brand strategy coherence and, together with perceived product quality, shape market acceptance in TEFA contexts. Methods: A predictive cross sectional survey was conducted with 100 valid respondents who interacted with at least one of four TEFA units at Politeknik Negeri Jember within the last six months. Five reflective constructs were measured using seven point Likert items with three indicators per construct, local cultural values (NB), customer perceived digitalization (DG), brand strategy coherence (SB), perceived product quality (KP), and market acceptance (PS). Data were analyzed using PLS SEM with bootstrapping and predictive assessment. Result: The measurement model met reliability and validity criteria. Structural results show that NB and DG significantly increase SB, SB significantly increases PS, and KP directly increases PS. The direct DG to PS path is not significant, indicating that digitalization improves acceptance primarily through strengthening strategy coherence. Mediation tests confirm indirect effects of NB and DG on PS via SB, and predictive checks support model relevance. Conclusion: Market acceptance in TEFAs rises when cultural meaning and digital capability are organized into a coherent brand strategy and validated by reliable product quality. TEFAs can operationalize these findings by codifying place based identity assets, enforcing a simple digital playbook focused on information findability and responsiveness, and upgrading packaging to make quality cues legible at the point of choice.

Abstract

Background: Teaching Factory, TEFA, operations combine learning and real production routines, so workforce management becomes a critical control point for punctuality, documentation quality, and payroll grade reporting. Manual attendance practices commonly create slow recaps, transcription errors, and weak traceability, which can reduce efficiency and trigger disputes. Aims: This study evaluates the short run impact of fingerprint based workforce management digitalization on operational efficiency and accountability in four TEFA units within UPA Pertanian Terpadu at Politeknik Negeri Jember. Methods: A quasi experimental pretest posttest design was applied, comparing four baseline weeks before installation with eight post implementation weeks after stabilization. Four fingerprint devices were installed, synchronized via NTP, and configured for daily CSV export, with SOP governed overrides and role based access control. Indicators were computed from system logs and administrative records, including on time attendance rate, tardiness minutes, effective work hours, missing log rate, SOP override compliance, and weekly recap time. Unit level paired tests were used with two tailed alpha 0.05, complemented by descriptive distributions, reliability checks of a post period perception instrument, and qualitative triangulation. Result: Performance improved consistently after digitalization. On time attendance increased from 66.53 percent to 86.59 percent, tardiness decreased from 14.33 to 7.77 minutes, effective work hours rose from 6.44 to 7.23 hours, missing logs fell from 8.40 percent to 2.58 percent, SOP override compliance increased from 69.28 percent to 92.12 percent, and weekly recap time decreased from 92.50 to 29.46 minutes. Interview and observation evidence aligned with the quantitative pattern, indicating fewer corrections, faster start of shift routines, and more stable recaps. Conclusion: Fingerprint based workforce management digitalization produced substantial improvements in both operational efficiency and accountability in TEFA units by strengthening traceable time stamped records and reducing rework in recap workflows. The findings support institutionalization of log based monitoring and SOP governance, with future studies extending observation windows and linking workforce traceability to downstream TEFA output and quality performance.
