ANALISIS PENERAPAN TOTAL PRODUCTIVE MAINTENANCE (TPM) DI PT CHANDRA ASRI PETROCHEMICAL TBK

PT Chandra Asri Petrochemical Tbk merupakan perusahaan terbesar dan terintegrasi di Indonesia yang menghasilkan produk biji plastik. Dalam dunia industri petrokimia, kondisi dan kinerja alat dan mesin menjadi salah satu penentu pencapaian target produksi yang ditetapkan. Kondisi mesin dan peralatan harus dijaga agar selalu dalam kondisi prima dan siap digunakan seoptimum mungkin dengan cara pemeliharaan dan perbaikan (maintenance). Dari hasil laporan data tahunan yang dimiliki perusahaan diketahui adanya permasalahan yang sering terjadi di mesin Product Discharge System pada train 2 sehingga sering terjadi breakdown. Salah satu metode yang dapat mengetahui pengaruh breakdown terhadap jumlah produksi yaitu dengan menggunakan metode Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), di mana breakdown menjadi salah satu indikator yang digunakan dalam perhitungan OEE yaitu Availability. Dengan perhitungan yang ada, maka akan didapatkan hasil nilai Overall Equipment Effectiveness dan dilanjutkan dengan proses analisis six big losses untuk menentukan kerugian mana saja yang paling berpengaruh. Hasil dari penelitian yaitu didapatnya hasil rata-rata Overall Equipment Effectiveness yaitu sebesar 85,4% dengan losses terbesar ditemukan pada Equipment Failure Losses dengan persentase paling besar yaitu 47,65% dari keenam losses lainnya. Dari hasil Equipment Failure Losses ini dapat diketahui bahwa yang mempengaruhi besarnya nilai dari hasil tersebut dikarenakan angka kerusakan pada valve Product Discharge System yang cukup tinggi serta waktu untuk setup dan adjustment yang lama. Berdasarkan hasil tersebut serta konsultasi dengan pihak perusahaan, maka didapatkan beberapa solusi yang dapat diimplementasikan perusahaan untuk perbaikan ke depannya yang lebih baik

The career competencies of self-initiated and assigned expatriates: assessing the development of career capital over time

Building on a modern careers approach, we assess the effects of working abroad on individuals’ career capital. Given the dearth of longitudinal studies, we return to a sample of economics graduates in Finland eight years later. We measure changes in three dimensions of career capital; ‘knowing how’, ‘knowing whom’, ‘knowing why’ and find that company assigned expatriates learn more than self-initiated expatriates. All three career capital areas benefit from international experience and all are increasingly valued over time. Based on our findings we conclude that a dynamic notion of career capital acquisition and use is needed. Managerial implications include the need for a wider view of talent management for international businesses

Brain structure in different psychosis risk groups in the Northern Finland 1986 Birth Cohort

We tested the hypothesis that family risk for psychosis (FR) and clinical risk for psychosis (CR) are associated with structural brain abnormalities, with increased deficits in those at both family risk and clinical risk for psychosis (FRCR). The study setting was the Oulu Brain and Mind Study, with subjects drawn from the Northern Finland 1986 Birth Cohort (n = 9479) using register and questionnaire based screening, and interviews using the Structured Interview for Prodromal Symptoms. After this procedure, 172 subjects were included in the study, classified as controls (n = 73) and three risk groups: FR excluding CR (FR, n = 60), CR without FR (CR, n = 26), and individuals at both FR and CR (FRCR, n = 13). T1-weighted brain scans were acquired and processed in a voxel-based analysis using permutation-based statistics. In the comparison between FRCR versus controls, we found lower grey matter volume (GMV) in a cluster (1689 voxels at − 4.00, − 72.00, − 18.00 mm) covering both cerebellar hemispheres and the vermis. This cluster was subsequently used as a mask to extract mean GMV in all four groups: FR had a volume intermediate between controls and FRCR. Within FRCR there was an association between cerebellar cluster brain volume and motor function. These findings are consistent with an evolving pattern of cerebellar deficits in psychosis risk with the most pronounced deficits in those at highest risk of psychosis

Effects of 10 weeks of military training on neuromuscular function in non-overreached and overreached conscripts

The purpose of the study was to examine how military training influences neuromuscular function in non-overreached and overreached conscripts. A total of 24 male conscripts participated in the study (8 weeks basic training + 2 weeks specialized training). All measurements were conducted during weeks 1, 5, 8 and 10. After the training period, non-overreached (NOR, n = 16) and overreached (OR, n = 8) groups were compared. Isometric maximal forces (bench press, elbow flexion and knee extension), single twitch (plantar flexors), H-reflex, M-wave (Hmax/Mmax) and V-wave (V/Mmax) (soleus) were measured. In knee extension, force production increased in NOR by 22.5 ± 20.5% (p  0.05). In OR, plantarflexion twitch contraction time increased between weeks 5 and 10 by 82.2 ± 34.4% (p < 0.01), which was not observed in NOR. No changes were observed in the H-reflex and V-wave responses in either of the groups. In conclusion, short term overreaching can also reduce the performance of the neuromuscular system, however, it seems to be more muscle than neural based. To avoid overreaching, more individualized periodization should be used during basic training. To enhance neuromuscular performance, maximal and explosive strength training should also be added into the basic training program.peerReviewe

Effects of military basic training on VO2max, body composition, muscle strength and neural responses in conscripts of different aerobic condition

Study aim: The purpose of this study was to evaluate neuromuscular adaptations in conscripts with different fitness levels (VO2max) during 8 weeks of military basic training (BT). Material and methods: Twenty-four male conscripts (18–21 years) were divided into two groups (Good Fitness [GF] and Low fitness [LF]) based on their VO2max at the beginning of BT. Body mass (BM), fat free mass (FFM) and Fat% were measured after 2, 4, and 7 weeks of training. VO2max, maximal isometric leg press force (MVC), H-reflex (Hmax/Mmax) at rest and V-wave (V/Mmax) during maximal isometric plantarflexion were measured from the soleus muscle at the beginning, after 5, and after 8 weeks of training. Results: FFM decreased significantly in LF after 7 weeks of training (–3.0 ± 1.7%, p < 0.001), which was not observed in GF. Both GF (6.9 ± 4.6%, p < 0.01) and LF (5.7 ± 4.6%, p < 0.01) showed improved VO2max after 5 weeks, with no changes during the last 3 weeks. A main effect of training was observed in decreased leg press MVC (–7.3 ± 9.3%, F = 4.899, p < 0.05), with no between-group differences. V-wave was significantly lower in LF during 5 (–37.9%, p < 0.05) and 8 (–44.9%, p < 0.05) weeks. Conclusion: Poor development of the neuromuscular system during BT suggests that explosive and/or maximal strength training should be added to the BT protocol for all conscripts regardless of fitness level. In addition, individualized training periodization should be considered to optimize the training load.peerReviewe
