Pendampingan Manajemen Kualitas Produksi Tas di PT TIJ

PT TIJ is a company that produces the local brand "LC," which is located in Depok, West Java. According to data for June-August 2022, there are significant product returns of around 1-7%, and a repair process is needed during production. Quality control at PT TIJ is carried out by checking goods one by one by supervisors and production operators. Recording quality problems is only done by labeling the products that need repair. The Quality Assurance (QA) department only records the number of products that need repair. Documentation of specific defects that often occur has never been done. Documentation is one of the essential things for quality control because quality data plays a significant role in making process improvement decisions. This PkM program is carried out by providing training materials for implementing an integrated system of sustainable quality management and the importance of quality data providing information related to problems in the production process. The conducted training increased the participants' knowledge regarding management and quality data. The usefulness of the training was confirmed directly to the participants through a questionnaire. The results showed that 77% of participants strongly agreed that the material was helpful, and 73% strongly agreed that the presenter delivered the quality management material well. Participants also provided suggestions regarding material for further assistance related to using a computer to use quality data analysis tools.PT TIJ is a company that produces the local brand "LC," which is located in Depok, West Java.

Development of an Ontology-Based Visual Approach for Property Data Analytics

oai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/4Real estate is a complex market that consists of many layers of social, financial, and economic data, including but not limited to price, rental, location, mortgage, demographic and housing supply data. The sheer number of real estate properties around the world means that property transactions produce an extraordinary amount of data that is increasing exponentially. Most of the data are presented through thousands of rows on a spreadsheet or described in long paragraphs that are difficult to understand. The emergent data visualization techniques are intended to allow data to be processed and analytics to be displayed visually to enable an understanding of complex information and the identification of new patterns from the data. However, not all visualization techniques can achieve such a thing. Most techniques are able to display only visual low-dimensional data. This paper introduces an ontology visualisation methodology to explore the ontologies of property data behaviour for multidimensional data. The visualisation combines real estate data statistical analysis with several high dimensional data visualisation techniques, including parallel coordinates and stacked area charts. By using six residential suburbs in Sydney as a demonstration, we find that the developed data visualisation methodology can be applied effectively and efficiently to analyse complex real estate market behaviour patterns

Examining the Effects of a Curriculum-Based Professional Learning Community on Teacher Efficacy Toward Inquiry-Based Science Instruction

Improving STEM education is pivotal to our country’s economic future and security. Unfortunately, most young students have limited access to standards-based science education. Science instruction is notoriously difficult to implement in the early grades. This dissertation explored the root causes for the lack of effective science instruction in elementary schools, including accountability testing, instructional time, historically weak standards, family factors, teacher efficacy, and professional development. This study aimed to understand how elementary school teachers’ attitudes promote or hinder the implementation of science instruction. This study’s primary driver to improve science education in the early grades was a curriculum-based professional learning community (PLC). The PLC sought to promote collective teacher efficacy in teaching science by engaging participants in scientific inquiry (i.e., 5E Inquiry-Based Instructional Model) using STEM resources, analyzing student data, making instructional decisions, and developing common science assessments. Implementation of the study’s intervention relied on adaptive leadership, transformational coaching, constructivism, and other pertinent educational learning theories. The first round of intervention was a virtual PLC with a vertical team of six classroom teachers and a curriculum specialist. Data revealed an increase in participants’ self-efficacy levels toward science curricula and the 5E Inquiry-Based Instructional Model, but there was a minimal improvement in classroom implementation. Iterations to the intervention included opportunities for instructional coaching in a hybrid environment. I personalized coaching strategies according to participants’ personalities and preferences. Revisions to the intervention aimed to enrich collaboration between teachers and coaches and transform science education at the elementary school level. This study used improvement science as a methodology and mixed methods to examine a curriculum-based PLC’s effects on teachers’ self-efficacy toward inquiry-based science instruction. I collected data through surveys, interviews, observations, and document analysis (e.g., curriculum maps, lesson screeners). The quantitative and qualitative data collection indicated that the study’s drivers directly or vicariously empowered teachers and increased their self and collective efficacy levels. Findings from this study suggest that vertical teaming is a viable approach to elementary school teachers’ professional development. Results indicate that subject-based PLCs built on collaborative lesson planning, reflective curricular guides, and ongoing coaching can improve teacher efficacy in designing and implementing standards-based instruction

The integration of business ethics and organisational strategy : a qualitative study of commercial banks in South Africa

Dissertation (MCom (Business Management - Strategy))--University of Pretoria, 2022.Within the South African economy, financial institutions have a particular responsibility to act ethically because of their responsibility to safeguard economic and financial stability. This study, using a strategy-as-practice perspective, investigates how South African commercial banks integrate organisational strategy and business ethics within regulatory and governance requirements set for public companies. A qualitative research approach was applied based on interviews with company secretaries and ethics officers from commercial banks as well as a review of integrated annual reports. A narrative thematic analysis of the reviewed content of integrated annual reports as well as semi-structured interviews were conducted, and analyses compared. The results of the study show that regulatory compliance with Corporate Governance guidelines contained in the King IV reports is a priority for financial institutions and that different levels of the modes of ethics management are evident in the integration of organisational strategy and business ethics in practice. This research contributes to the body of knowledge by developing and testing a comprehensive theoretical framework that integrates ethics and strategy. It furthermore contributes by describing if and how strategy and ethics are integrated in the specific context of commercial banks.Business ManagementMCom (Business Management - Strategy)Unrestricte

The Development of Synthetic Gene Biomarkers for the Field-Based Forensic Detection of Body Fluids and Sex Determination

Body fluid and sex determination at the crime scene are important forensic questions where information can be obtained using various approaches. The standard techniques involved are well established and often utilise cheap, rapid tests to presumptively detect the presence of characteristic proteins and chemicals. However, the relatively poor accuracies of these tests compared to laboratory-based techniques that analyse nucleic acids limits their effectiveness and can lead to inefficient sample triage. This presents a need for novel field-based biomarker detection techniques that are both sensitive and specific. Toehold switches are de novo designed RNA/DNA sequences that contain the genetic motifs necessary for coupled transcription-translation of a reporter gene. Gene expression is repressed in the absence of a specific complementary target “trigger” sequence due to switch hairpin formation. Hybridisation of the trigger to the switch initiates hairpin unwinding and enables downstream gene expression. This specific and sensitive approach has led to toehold switches becoming an emerging platform for bio-detection, primarily in the field of viral RNA detection. This thesis identifies a lack of such applications to forensic science alongside a need for novel field-based DNA detection tools amongst forensic end-users with a market research study. To address these issues, a set of toehold switches were designed in-house for the detection of mRNA sequences specific to blood, saliva, semen, and the sex marker amelogenin. A contemporary qPCR assay was internally validated to act as a performance benchmark. To facilitate in vitro expression of toehold switches without expensive commercial cell-free protein synthesis systems, an Escherichia coli cell lysate was developed and optimised in-house. Gene expression from control plasmids was comparable to a commercial equivalent at 37°C and exceeded it at 29°C, with a shelf-life of approximately 6 – 8 months at -80°C. Toehold switches circuit function was unsuccessful with either system, which suggested an issue with toehold switch design. A screening framework utilising a combined melting curve and in silico thermodynamic analysis approach was devised to highlight high-performance toehold switches. This framework was able to predict the performances of six novel toehold switch designs and recommended designs to be discarded or studied further, but further characterisation is required to assess prediction accuracy. Results throughout are discussed in relation to the needs of forensic scientists and the capabilities of toehold switches as bio-detection tools compared to existing techniques
