Penentuan Prioritas Risiko Pada Rancangan Rantai Pasok Biodiesel Dari Minyak Goreng Bekas Di Kota Padang

A design of biodiesel supply chain from waste cooking oil conducted in previous studies. Implementation of supply chain design needs to be studied more in depth and comprehensive. One aspect of the study is a supply chain risk management. Supply chain risk management is important because many events in supply chain which raises operational problems and the cessation of business activity. Because of vulnerability of the supply chain to various internal and external risks, the study of risk sources is needed. This study examines the sources of risk and the weighting that may occur along the supply chain for the distribution of biodiesel from waste cooking oil from suppliers that located in various places until the sale of biodiesel to consumers that are targeted to the public in Padang. The method used in this research is fuzzy AHP with triangular fuzzy number approach. Risk identification is done with the study of literature and assessment by experts. Based on the results obtained sequences risks from largest to smallest weight are raw materials, market, quality, production, transportation, and partnerships

Mapping ergonomics application to improve SMEs working condition in industrially developing countries: a critical review

In industrially developing countries (IDC), small and medium enterprises (SMEs) account for the highest proprotion of employment. Unfortunately, the working conditions in SMEs are often very poor and expose employees to a potentially wide range of health and safety risks. This paper presents a comprehensive review of 161 articles related to ergonomics application in SMEs, using Indonesia as a case study. The aim of this paper is to investigate the extent of ergonomics application and identify areas that can be improved to promote effective ergonomics for SMEs in IDC. The most urgent issue found is the need for adopting participatory approach in contrast to the commonly implemented top-down approach. Some good practices in ergonomics application were also revealed from the review, e.g. a multidisciplinary approach, unsophisticated and low-cost solutions, and recognising the importance of productivity. The review also found that more work is still required to achieve appropriate cross-cultural adaptation of ergonomics application. Practitioner Summary: Despite continuous efforts in addressing ergonomics issues in SMEs of IDC, workers are still exposed to poor work conditions. We reviewed factual-based evidence of current ergonomics application to inform future strategies of ergonomics in IDC, using Indonesia as a case study

Dynamic temporary blood facility location-allocation during and post-disaster periods

The key objective of this study is to develop a tool (hybridization or integration of different techniques) for locating the temporary blood banks during and post-disaster conditions that could serve the hospitals with minimum response time. We have used temporary blood centers, which must be located in such a way that it is able to serve the demand of hospitals in nearby region within a shorter duration. We are locating the temporary blood centres for which we are minimizing the maximum distance with hospitals. We have used Tabu search heuristic method to calculate the optimal number of temporary blood centres considering cost components. In addition, we employ Bayesian belief network to prioritize the factors for locating the temporary blood facilities. Workability of our model and methodology is illustrated using a case study including blood centres and hospitals surrounding Jamshedpur city. Our results shows that at-least 6 temporary blood facilities are required to satisfy the demand of blood during and post-disaster periods in Jamshedpur. The results also show that that past disaster conditions, response time and convenience for access are the most important factors for locating the temporary blood facilities during and post-disaster periods

Analysis of Effect of Supply Chain Management on Firm Performance of Passion Fruit Syrup

Passion fruit (passifloraceae) is one of the strategic commodities because of its usefulness as raw material of passion fruit syrup as an agroindustry product that has rich nutritional value of vitamin C which is beneficial to human health. This research has five elements of supply chainnamely : farmers, suppliers, extract agroindustry, passion fruit syrup agroindustry, and retailers. The objective of this study is to analyze whether there is a significant influence between Supply Chain Management on firm performance. This type of research was a causal research. Data collection used questionnaire. From the result of multiple linear regression analysis, it showed that the variable of process integration has the biggest influence to variable of enterprise SCM performance (dependent) with coefficient value equal to (0,289), then variable of satisfaction with value (0,058), variable of trust (0,286), communication variable (0,184), dependency variable (0,021) and having the least was the variable of influence and commitment (0,080). This means that the five independent variables have a positive and significant influence on the dependent variable
