Small and Medium Scale Enterprises [SMEs] haveproven to be one industrial group that is most sustaining duringeconomic crises. From the year 1997 through 2000, thecontribution of the SME sector has reached more than 46% of theIndonesia’s GNP and as such it is vital to further stimulate itsgrowth. This Paper discusses the One Village One Product (OVOP)approach to develop the business performance of SMEs. The studywas carried out at nineteen SMEs producing processed-food. Thestudy runs through a few excerpts from literature connected withSMEs and their role in the macro economic growth whileidentifying the factors that had a role in their growth. An overviewof the OVOP approach is presented followed by an analysis anddiscussion of data gathered. Finally, concluding comments on theimplementation model of the OVOP approach is presented

Implementing Technology Acceptance Model to measure ICT usage by smallholder farmers

In the era of industry 4.0, especially in the agricultural sector, using ICT as a communication and information-gathering medium for farmers is crucial. However, the ICT adoption level by smallholder farmers varies greatly. This study investigates the elements influencing the ICT adoption level and utilization and explores the application of the TAM to smallholder farmers. Using descriptive quantitative methodology on three villages in Ngawi regency, East Java (N=53), this study indicated that smartphone usage in the research location was extremely high at 90.5%. A Spearman correlation value of 0.24 indicates a relationship between the PU and the education level of farmers. T-Test Two Means Independent was used to compare respondents' perception of ICT utilization through Perceived Use (PU) and Perceived Ease of Use (PEU); PU's average value of 17.5 was greater than PEU's average value of 13.9. It was determined that ICT perceived usefulness was felt more important than perceived ease of use by the respondents in their daily activities. Additionally, this study recommends that agriculture services development necessitates strategies to create ICT usefulness through smartphones. Such strategies will help increase the ICT effective adoption, reducing information gaps and raising the wealth of smallholder farmers

5S APPLICATION TRAINING (SEIRI, SEITON, SEISŌ, SEIKETSU, AND SHITSUKE) TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF WORK ENVIRONMENT IN THE SERVICE INDUSTRY

National industries already have policies that are able to strengthen industrial competitiveness, especially small and medium businesses. Business activities in the form of manufacturing Small Industries are the backbone of the real economy that encourages the welfare of the community because the numbers are very large and spread in various regions. because it is generally close to residential and business centers. National policies that can encourage competitiveness, for example, are carried out in the form of soft loans, training, incentives, tax breaks, business assistance, ease of regulation and various forms of support. But it must be understood that what is no less important is how the small manufacturing industry itself can make competitive steps both in capturing markets and in the efficient form of work operations within its organization. At present, the 5S method (Seiri, Seiton, Seisō, Seiketsu, and Shitsuke) has been widely adopted by various industries in various countries. The 5S method (Seiri, Seiton, Seisō, Seiketsu, and Shitsuke) was first introduced in Japan as a determination to conduct sorting (Seiri), structuring (Seiton), cleansing (Seisō), maintaining steady conditions (Seiketsu), and self-awareness of the habits needed to carry out work well (Shitsuke). The implementation of community service activities in the form of socialization and training on the application of 5S (Seiri, Seiton, Seisō, Seiketsu, andShitsuke) to improve the quality of the work environment in the service industry is packaged in the form of simple, easy to understand concepts planned for three months

IMPLEMENTASI MATERIAL REQUIREMENTS PLANNING (MRP) PADA PERENCANAAN PERSEDIAAN MATERIAL PANEL LISTRIK DI PT.TIS

Semakin berkembangnya dunia industri perusahaan manufaktur membuat semakin ketatnya  persaingan pasar untuk mencukupi kebutuhan konsumen. Selain itu perusahaan juga dituntut untuk dapat memuaskan konsumen dengan cara  menyelesaikan pesanan konsumen tepat pada waktunya. Sehingga perlu ditunjang oleh sistem produksi yag efisien. Untuk dapat menciptakan sistem produksi yang efisien maka diperlukan suatu perencanaan yang baik. Peramalan dan perencanaan material untuk box panel menjadi alasan yang kuat untuk meminimalkan stok gudang, khususnya PT. TIS.  Adapun untuk perencanaan persediaan material box panel tersebut memerlukan peramalan yang optimal dengan memafaatkan metode Simple Moving Average (SMA) dan Single Exponential Smoothing (SES). Dengan membandingkan kedua metode tersebut dihasilkan data bahwa dengan metode Simple Moving Average menghasilkan nilai eror (MAD dan MSE) paling kecil, yaitu sebesar MAD 7,3 dan MSE 72. Sedangkan untuk perencanaan material menggunakan metode MRP Lot for Lot (LFL) dan Fixed Order Quantity (FOQ). Hasil perbandingan kedua metode tersebut menghasilan sistem Lot for Lot lebih efisien dan sesuai diterapkan pada PT. TIS karena total biaya persediaan minimum, yaitu sebesar Rp 199.692.470
