/in /by

TVF Footwear is a sandal and shoe brand originally from Bandung. It was founded in 2010 because, at that time, local industries were emerging, and they were motivated to make products that focus on the footwear category. TVF Footwear has an issue related to overstock inventory. The purpose of this research is to reduce overstock and improve inventory management in TVF Footwear. The root cause analysis is used Current Reality Tree (CRT) as a tool to find the root cause of overstock issue that faced by TVF Footwear. The result from root cause analysis are a lack of forecasting and deficient inventory management. The proposed solution is to prepare TVF footwear to apply the appropriate forecasting demand method for the next period and help the company to plan its inventory management by calculating the EOQ, ROP, and Safety stock. The result of the forecasting demand with the smallest forecasting error shows that the method chosen for Rainier is double exponential smoothing. The forecasting method that is suitable for Reiwal is trend analysis and the forecasting method that has the smallest error for Semeru is single exponential smoothing. The result for the EOQ method has a lower cost than the existing method. The total cost from the existing method is Rp 4.082.500.000 while the total cost using the EOQ method amounts to Rp 3.678.495.281. If the company can implement the EOQ method, the potential cost saving is Rp 404.004.718.

/in /by

Crafting industry is one of the creative economy subsectors under the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy of the Republic of Indonesia. PT Global Kriya Nusantara or later will be mentioned as Kriya Nusantara is one of the craft industry actors in West Java, specifically in Bandung City. Established in 1995, Kriya Nusantara exported craft goods to several countries. In order to fulfil its demand, Kriya Nusantara needs a great strategy, especially for its quality management. In this case, the proposed system to be improved is the quality management of Kriya Nusantara due to the occurrence of rejected products in one of its project production processes. One of the projects that will be analysed in this research is Ramadhan Box 2022 which was ordered by Al-Jazeera Perfumes – Qatar. The problem is, that there are some defective finished goods that later will be rejected and needs to be repaired or reworked.

The Six Sigma method has been utilised in this research as a primary tool. The Six Sigma in this research contains the DMAIC framework that will be useful to define the main issue, measure the capability of the process, analyse the business situation, and propose the improvement plans along with the control plans for the production process of Kriya Nusantara. According to this research, there are six defect types that occurred in this production process, and the defect type that has the greatest RPN value is the Minor Paint Defect with a 320 RPN value and has critical risk level. The causes of each defect type have been analysed using FMEA analysis and there are four causes which are human error, miscommunications, unskilled labour, and defective raw materials. The FMEA analysis also has been utilised to propose the business solution alternatives in this research. There are three proposed business solutions for the causes which are progress monitoring for the human error and miscommunication issues, labour training for the unskilled labour, and supplier’s product evaluation for the defective raw materials. Those improvements will reduce the defect of the products so that the quality of the products of Kriya Nusantara will be enhanced.

Business growth in the wedding industry has begun to grow and spread in Indonesia, seen from the variety of types of this industry, one of which is wedding organizer (WO). WO is an organizer with many networks involved in its business ecosystem. It can’t stand alone without relations and interactions with its stakeholders (vendors) such as wedding decor, catering, entertainment, make-up artist, and others.

Amongst that a replacement innovative technology are develops. A nanoemulsion is technique to enhance the solubility, bioavability, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodinemics of medicine .in this review article us familiar about the novel technique nanoemulsion and its preparation methods, charactorization of nanoemulsion. Nanoemulsion has been identified as a promising delivery system for various drugs including biopharmaceuticals. Nanoemulsion may be a heterogeneous system composed of one immiscible liquid dispersed as droplets within another liquid. The droplets size of nano emulsion is between 20 to 500 nm. Diameter and surface properties of droplets of nanoemulsion plays a crucial role in the biological behavior of the formulation. Small droplet sizes cause transparent emulsions so that product appearance is not altered by the addition of an oil phase during this paper various aspects of nanoemulsion have been discussed including advantages, disadvantages and methods of preparation. Furthermore new approaches of stability of formulation, effect of types and concentration of surfactant, process variables and method also are discussed to improve the stability of nanoemulsion formulation.
