The aim of this research is to increase of the welfare of most people in the research area
of the object, ie in Masaran Subdistrict, Sragen, Central Java, by encouraging the batik industry in
that area. So far, most people living in Masaran, Sragen, work in the batik industry as labor. This
research were conducted in two Small-Scale Medium Businesses (SMBs) in that Subdistrict, ie
Batik Morinda and Sadewa. Those batik those companies have advantages in the production
process. Both of them use natural coloring material (not the chemical stuff). Therefore their
products are more natural, environmental-friendly and have high interest in the international
market.
The research problems are: a) The source of raw materials are difficult to be Obtained
(only available in some areas are far from Sragen roomates). b)Limited production capacity due
to limited production tools. c) The ability of available human resources is the minimum. d)
Traditional business management. e)Limited and less inovative batik designs.
In overall, the pattern used in the implementation method of this activity includes:
discussion, workshop/studio work, factory operating, training and mentoring (groups/
individuals). The steps in the implementation of science and technology are: team discussion
with the SMEs regarding the development of batik designs roomates have high interest in the
market and unavailable in the SME, designing machines (feeder) roomates are needed for
production, managerial trainings (accounting, marketing, human resources) and techinal
trainings in order to increase of the ability/skill of the workers. Besides, the Efforts to develop
the usage of natural coloring materials are more encouraged by assisting the SMEs in providing
access to the source of raw materials and lab testings. Then, those activities are Followed by
mentoring so that all activities can be conducted effectively acctivities
