Pengaruh Kompetensi Dan Disiplin Kerja Terhadap Kinerja Karyawan Pada PT. Ratu Pola Bumi Bandar Lampung Tahun 2013

PT. Ratu Pola Bumi is one of concrete electrical standard and concrete pole with pre-tensile system, the first in Indonesia. PT Ratu Pola Bumi has a factory located in Bandar Lampung –Lampung. In order to increase the employees performance, PT Ratu Pola Bumi encourage the employees to develop themselves and do the best to upgrade their competencies, and also be discipline, so that corporation goal can be reach. Problem faced in this research is lowness of employees\u27 performance, competencies that unsuitable, and indiscipline. Those problems are interdependently of each other, and suspected that performance lowness is an effect of unsuitable competency and indiscipline. The main problem of this research is how competency and discipline affect performance in PT Ratu Pola Bumi. This research aims to find out the effect of competency and discipline on employees\u27 performance in PT Ratu Pola Bumi. Research data is collected using questionnaire and literature, while analysis using double linear regression. The collected data is processed by SPSS for Windows version 17.00. This research uses 150 respondents. The result of this research shows that competency (X1), and disciplines (X2) have positive effect on employees\u27 performance (Y) in PT Ratu Pola Bumi

Uji Kinerja Alat Pengering Hybrid Tipe Rak Pada Pengeringan Chip Pisang Kepok

Lampung Province was one of the banana production centers areas in Indonesia, one of them is kepok banana. Bananas don\u27t have a long shelf life, so that it needs an alternative treatment to prolong shelf life so it can provide the value-of banana fruit. Drying system with hybrid is an alternative option. The purpose of this study is to test the performance of the hybrid dryer shelves type for drying banana chips. This research was conducted with three treatments, they were drying using solar energy, drying using electrical energy, and drying using solar energy and electricity, which was using 5 kg banana chips for each treatments. The three treatments of this research showed different results. It took 9 hours to drying banana chips until it reached the water content 10%-12% on drying using solar energy, while drying using electrical energy needed 11 hours, and 8 hours on drying using solar energy and electricity. Energy produced on drying using solar energy amounted to 55859,52 kJ, drying using electrical energy amounted to 27680,4 kJ and drying using solar energy and electricity was 64417,17 kJ

Penentuan Pola Peningkatan Kekerasan Kulit Buah Manggis Selama Penyimpanan Dingin dengan Metode NIR Spectroscopy

Pericarp hardening of mangosteen fruit has correlation with the decrease in moisture content due to transpiration and respiration during storage. The change of pericarp moisture content during storage may be determined nondestructively using near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. The objectives of this study were to build calibration model of NIR reflectance to predict the moisture content of the pericarp, and to determine the pattern of pericarp hardening based on change of moisture content during storage using NIR reflectance. NIR reflectance spectra were obtained from fruits stored at 8ºC, 13ºC, and room temperature. Calibrations were built using partial least squares (PLS) and artificial neural network (ANN) models. Results of analysis indicated that pericarp moisture content could be predicted well by NIR reflectance using the calibration model of PLS for mangosteen stored at 8ºC, 13ºC, and room temperature. The pattern of pericarp hardening based on change of moisture content also could be determined using NIR reflectance for mangosteen stored at 13ºC and room temperature
