Abstract

Service quality and customer satisfaction directly influence company branding, reputation and customer loyalty. As a liaison between producers and consumers, dealers must preserve valuable consumer relationships to increase customer satisfaction and adherence. Lack of comprehensive measurement and standardization regarding service quality emerges as a consideration issue towards the company service excellence. Therefore, identifying the service quality performance and grouping develops into valuable contributions in decision-making to control and enhance the company's intention. This study applies the K-Means Algorithm by optimizing the number of clusters in identifying dealer service quality performance. Hence, the ultimate service quality formation will be performed. The analysis found three dealer identification categories, including Cluster One, with 125 dealers grouped as good performance; Cluster Two, with 30 dealers grouped as very good performance; and Cluster Three, with 38 dealers grouped as not good performance. In order to evaluate the efficacy of optimum k value, the lists of testing approaches are conducted and compared, whereby Calinski-Harabasz, Elbow, Silhouette Score, and Davies-Bouldin Index (DBI) contribute in k=3. As a result, the optimum clusters are determined through the highest performance of k values as three. These three clusters have successfully identified the service quality level of dealers effectively and administered the company guidelines for corrective actions and improvements in customer service quality instead of the standardized normal distribution grouping calculation.

Abstract

The Green Road Construction development program is a program that has the potential to reduce carbon emissions from road construction. Currently, the Government of the Republic of Indonesia through the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing together with the Toll Road Business Entity continues to strive to provide the best service to the community using Toll Roads that are applied to all Toll Roads in Indonesia, especially Green Toll Roads. At the implementation stage, it has not been able to run smoothly because there are several constraining factors such as social and environmental aspects. For this reason, this study aims to find out what factors are needed by a Project Manager who carries out the construction. References are taken from various journals and articles that discuss green toll roads around the world and in Indonesia. This research is a combination of qualitative and quantitative (mixed methods) by distributing questionnaires to several respondents. The results of the factor analysis show that the Project Performance factor (Y) is strongly influenced by the determinant factors namely Knowledge (X1) in terms of Time (X1.3), Cost (X1.4) and Procurement (X1.7). Henceforth, project performance (Y) is also influenced by Knowledge (X1), Skill (X2), and Tools & Techniques (X3). Meanwhile, on the other hand, the Project Performance factor (Y) is also influenced by the Green Toll Road (Z).

Abstract

The construction sector is essential to a country's economic growth and development. This is why the construction of building projects is one of the most pressing concerns for the Indonesian government. The industrial sector has become increasingly dynamic and responsive to the challenges of building projects due to technological advancements. One example is the Building Information Modelling (BIM) 5D, an emerging technology integrating project implementation time and costs into a 3D model. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the success factors of BIM 5D implementation on the time and cost performance of high-rise building construction projects at Campus-II UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya. This was achieved through a quantitative research method using a questionnaire completed by 62 respondents: the project manager, site manager, engineering head, and site engineer. Moreover, descriptive statistics were utilized to examine the frequency distribution of concentration measures and data distribution on sample characteristics and variables. The findings showed that the factors of tender document, human resources, BIM software, planning process and production process simultaneously positively affected the construction project's cost and time performance.

Abstract

Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a solid-state bonding process that employes tools that are not used up and can function to connect two opposite workpieces without melting the workpiece material. The friction force has been micro-structurally tested to reformat or transform the inner state of the structure properties (atomic formation) form in metal since the kinetic energy of friction has been utilised in one of the welding techniques. Right afterwards, the studies reported that the mechanical properties also underwent a significant deformation. The aim is to determine the effect of Welding Procedure Specification (WPS) product quality. As it develops through research and applied experiments, the branch of friction-based welding discipline can be classified depending on how the friction mechanism can produce the finest solid-state joint, which is suitable to the typical property of metal and can be maximised by joint configuration. Friction Stir Welding is a friction-based welding technique that uses the stirring tool to generate friction while the workpieces are stuck on the line of the FSW joint configuration. The relevant correlations amongst process parameters and inside its respective adjustable variables are constructed to the finest principles that produced top-grades empirical reports of the weld properties. In this review, the explanation of the working principle and clarification of process parameters are presented. The cited references are selected from creditable and verifiable articles and books in the last ten years. Expectedly, it will be able to pioneer a new face of simple and understandable review articles.

Abstract

Cancer subjugates a community that lacks proper care. It remains apparent that research studies enhance novel benchmarks in developing a computer-assisted tool for prognosis in radiology yet an indication of illness detection should be recognized by the pathologist. In bone cancer (BC), Identification of malignancy out of the BC’s histopathological image (HI) remains difficult because of the intricate structure of the bone tissue (BTe) specimen. This study proffers a new approach to diagnosing BC by feature extraction alongside classification employing deep learning frameworks. In this, the input is processed and segmented by Tsallis Entropy for noise elimination, image rescaling, and smoothening.

Abstract

River flooding is a condition when the water in a river overflows and exceeds its normal capacity, thereby flooding the surrounding area. This flood disaster has been a known problem for a long time and causes great damage in the affected areas. Flood events inRivers are influenced by many factors, such as climate change, rapid urbanization, inappropriate land use, ineffective water management patterns, as well as uncontrolled addition of hard soil surfaces. Flood conditions in rivers involve complex processes and are influenced by various factors components, such as rainfall, water flow, topography, vegetation, and many other factors. Therefore, this research is very urgent because it can help reduce the negative impacts of flooding, increase public safety, become a basis for decision making, save costs and resources and make a positive contribution to technological development. This study aims to create a prototype of a flood early warning system. The system is based on a wireless sensor network whose interconnections are connected by a star topology. Every node is a combination of several sensors (sensor fusion) that are related to detecting floods, such as: height sensors, water flow speed sensors and rainfall intensity sensors. Design of hardware (hardware) and software (software) will be done. A classification mechanism based on Fuzzy Logic will be used to estimate flood conditions based on existing data. Flood estimation will determine the time and distance of flood events that will occur. Several experiments in the laboratory will be carried out to determine the performance of the designed system.
