Demand Forecasting and Capacity Planning for Eyewear Cleaner Products at PT RAS

2025-06-26T04:13:26+00:00

This study examines the production capacity challenges faced by PT RAS following the launch of RAS Gleam in November 2023. The significant increase in demand has put pressure on the production, filling, and packing workstations, leading to potential bottlenecks in fulfilling orders. To address this issue, time-series forecasting was applied to project demand for the next year for three products: RAS Self-Cleaning, RAS Instant Antifog, and RAS Gleam. These forecasts guided the development of a Master Production Schedule (MPS) to align production with projected demand and informed Rough-Cut Capacity Planning (RCCP) to identify capacity constraints. The analysis revealed gaps between available and required work hours, particularly during peak periods. To bridge these gaps, the study proposed workforce management solutions, including a controlled overtime system and the strategic use of freelance workers for filling and packing workstations. These measures enabled PT RAS to meet demand while complying with Indonesian labour regulations. The findings demonstrate how accurate forecasting, workforce optimization, and flexible labour management enhance production efficiency and operational flexibility at PT RAS. By forecasting demand, PT RAS can prepare for future conditions, ensuring it has the capacity to meet demand.

Strategy to Increase the Procurement Governance Index Value on E-Purchasing Indicators

2025-06-26T04:13:24+00:00

This study aims to identify the causes of the Procurement Governance Index (ITKP) value, especially in the e-purchasing indicator, which is still 0 and how to develop a strategy to increase the ITKP value for the e-purchasing indicator within the Ministry of Health. The method used is a qualitative method by conducting interviews and also reviewing documents. The results of the study found that there are factors that cause the ITKP value for the e-purchasing indicator to be 0, including procedural factors that have not been carried out to completion, human resource factors that still have difficulty in dividing the time to complete administrative work on the system, method factors that circulars and socialization have been made ineffective, and external factors, namely bar/service providers who also have a hand in completing the e-purchasing package. The recommended strategy for problem solving is to provide socialization and technical guidance on the flow of the e-purchasing implementation process by a special work team, in addition, applications/monitoring tools can be created to help monitor the implementation of the e-purchasing package, recalculate the workload to ensure the quality of administrative completion work on the system, and conduct socialization to PPK/PP to add clauses to the contract related to the provider's obligation to complete administrative obligations on the electronic catalog system.

Academic Dishonesty and Whistleblowing Intentions Among Economics Students

2025-06-26T04:13:00+00:00

This study examines economics students' perceptions of academic dishonesty and their willingness to engage in whistleblowing within higher education institutions. Academic dishonesty remains a persistent issue in universities, potentially undermining students' ethical development and professional integrity. While prior research has extensively explored the prevalence and causes of academic dishonesty, limited attention has been given to students' reluctance to report such misconduct. This study employs a descriptive quantitative approach and collects data from 160 economics students in Central Java and the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY) using purposive sampling. The findings indicate that the majority of students have engaged in various forms of academic dishonesty, including cheating, plagiarism, using unauthorized resources, and paying others to complete assignments. Despite recognizing the ethical implications, students demonstrate low willingness to report dishonest behavior. Key barriers include institutional shortcomings, such as the absence of a clear whistleblowing mechanism, lack of protection for whistleblowers, and fear of retaliation or social ostracism. The study emphasizes the need for a structured and confidential whistleblowing system to foster academic integrity. Universities should implement secure reporting channels, strengthen ethical education, and cultivate an institutional culture that supports honesty and accountability. By addressing these challenges, higher education institutions can enhance students' ethical awareness and commitment to academic integrity, ultimately improving the quality of education.

Capacity Development Strategy for Manufacturing MSMEs in Bogor Regency

2025-06-26T04:12:57+00:00

This study aims to analyze capacity development strategies for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in the manufacturing sector of Bogor Regency. Despite their significant contribution to the region’s Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP), the quantitative growth of MSMEs has not aligned with improvements in competitiveness and business sustainability. Adopting a descriptive qualitative approach, this research collected data through in-depth interviews with nine stakeholder groups and a review of policy documents and sectoral statistics. Referencing the capacity development framework from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and Horton’s three-tiered intervention model, the study identifies five key challenges in MSME capacity strengthening: weak stakeholder coordination, internal capacity gaps among business actors, non-contextual policy responses, disparities in program implementation, and the absence of outcome-based evaluation systems. The results suggest that capacity development must be carried out simultaneously at the micro level (entrepreneurs), meso level (supporting organizations), and macro level (policy and systems), with emphasis on data integration, actor segmentation, and outcome-based evaluation. The study contributes theoretically by contextualizing international frameworks to local governance and practically by proposing a classification-based strategy and behavior-sensitive evaluation model for MSME development. The results offer actionable insights for designing inclusive and adaptive capacity-building policies at the subnational level.

2025-06-26T04:12:53+00:00

This study investigates the nuanced influence of cultural factors on entrepreneurial behavior in the global business landscape, specifically examining how cultural dimensions shape decision-making processes and overall business strategies. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach that combines in-depth interviews and quantitative surveys across diverse cultural contexts, the research uncovers how dimensions such as individualism-collectivism and tolerance for uncertainty directly impact entrepreneurial practices. Key findings demonstrate that cultural values significantly modulate entrepreneurial behavior in critical domains, revealing that individualistic cultures tend to foster more independent and risk-taking decision-making, while collectivistic cultures prioritize consensus and group harmony. Additionally, the study shows that cultural orientation towards long-term or short-term perspectives substantially shapes innovation approaches, with long-term-oriented cultures more likely to invest in sustainable innovation. Furthermore, the research indicates that cultural tolerance for uncertainty correlates directly with entrepreneurs' willingness to experiment and adapt in volatile market environments. These insights provide valuable implications for entrepreneurs and policymakers, emphasizing the importance of culturally sensitive business strategies. By understanding how cultural factors systematically influence entrepreneurial behavior, organizations can develop more nuanced and context-specific approaches to international business development. Ultimately, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of how cultural contexts fundamentally shape entrepreneurial opportunities and challenges in today's interconnected global economy.
