SCHEDULING PLANNING SOYBEAN COMMODITY DISTRIBUTION ACTIVITIES AT CV XYZ USING DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENT PLANNING (DRP) METHOD

CV XYZ is a company engaged in the distribution of soybean commodities, located in Tangerang Regency. The company distributes its products to five retail outlets across the Jabodetabek area using two operational vehicles. Currently, CV XYZ faced issues with distribution scheduling due to the lack of a fixed policy, leading to occasional increases in delivery frequencies caused by insufficient stock and an inefficient existing scheduling system. As a result, the fulfillment rate of retail demands only reached 93% of the company’s target of 99%, creating a 6% gap that the company aims to address. To resolve this issue, a new distribution scheduling plan was developed using the Distribution Requirement Planning (DRP) method. Distribution Requirement Planning (DRP) method consists of four stages: first Netting for the process of calculating the amount of net requirements, second Lotting for the process of calculating the ideal order quantity, third Offsetting to determine the order plan, and finally the fourth explosion for the process of calculating gross requirements in distribution.  The results of the new plan show an increase in the fulfillment rate of retail demands to 99.8%. Additionally, total distribution costs were successfully minimized, decreasing from Rp 593,980,120 to Rp 551,934,498, resulting in a saving of Rp 42,045,622 or approximately 7% of the previous total distribution costs.

DESIGNING AN INSTITUTIONAL MODEL FOR THE SUNFLOWER AGRO- INDUSTRY SUPPLY CHAIN

This research aimed to design an institutional model and information system to improve the sustainability of the sunflower agro-industry supply chain in Indonesia. The sunflower agro-industry has great potential, but it is hampered by the lack of an optimal institutional structure. This causes the competitiveness and sustainability of the sunflower agro-industry supply chain to be low. Focusing on the sunflower agro-industry in Bandung Regency and its surroundings, this research used a systems approach to analyze the situational conditions and needs of the sunflower agro-industry. Then, the institutional model was designed using the Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) method. Furthermore, the institutional information system model was designed to support institutional operations using the design system approach. The analysis and design of this information system was limited to the design of the graphical user interface, not to the design of the database. The research results show that the situational condition of the sunflower agro-industry was not yet optimal and requires an institutional design that can improve the sustainability and competitiveness of the agro-industry supply chain. Based on the result using ISM, a proposed institutional model was designed. In addition, a design model for a supporting information system was also designed that would support operations in the institutional program. This research is expected to provide contributions to companies with output given in the form of a proposed institutional model design and the basis for creating an institutional information support system.

LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT OF GRANULATED COCONUT SUGAR PRODUCTION FARMERS LEVEL IN PURWOREJO

Granulated coconut sugar is a powdered coconut sugar manufactured by Purworejo farmers from the sap of the coconut. Farmers' usage of simple technologies is the primary cause of environmental problems due to poor efficiency levels and uncontrolled emission emissions. The objectives of this research were to identify the stages of the granulated coconut sugar production farmer level process, from coconut sap to farmers' granulated coconut sugar, and then analyze the total environmental impact of granulated coconut sugar production farmer level process using the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) approach and the CML-IA Baseline calculation method. The study's scope included an inventory of "gate-to-gate" inputs and outputs, computation of each stage of the process from sap heating to granulated coconut sugar, and interpretation of the calculation results. The amount of impact created per 1 kg of farmer-produced coconut sugar was employed as the unit of function in the analysis of the consequent environmental impact. SimaPro 9.4.0.2 software was used to calculate environmental impact analysis. The GWP impact of manufacturing 1 kilogram of farmer granulated coconut sugar was 4.76E-02 kg CO2 eq, the AP impact was 9.45E-04 kg SO2 eq, and the EP impact was 2.77E-04 kg PO4 eq. The biggest GWP effect contribution indicator was the use of LPG, which was 2.89E-02 kg CO2 eq, while the largest AP and EP impact contribution indicator was the use of firewood, which was 8.16E-04 kg SO2 eq and 2.12E-04 kg PO4 eq. The improvement scenario of the granulated coconut sugar production farmer level process, namely substituting the use of firewood with rice husks, reduces 85% of the total AP impact and reduces 93% of the total EP impact.
