In natural disaster management, good coordination, and communication in carrying out disaster relief logistics activities are important so that assistance can be delivered quickly and precisely. The Sleman Regional Disaster Management Agency (RDMA) is a government agency that has the responsibility to distribute disaster assistance in Sleman Regency. In the process of distribution of disaster relief logistics, RDMA Sleman encountered several problems. The process of recording disaster data in the form of the number of disaster victims, disaster locations, and logistics needs are still done manually. This results in information that is less accurate because the information obtained is different from several parties. These problems can be overcome by designing an integrated inventory information system between refugee camp posts from disaster locations and warehouses where logistics storage with each RDMA. The disaster logistics information system needs to be designed as needed to simplify the user in operating it. In this study, the information system was created by the Progressive Web Application method so that users can access websites and applications at once, and provide the functionality to weak network conditions, notifications, content updates, connectivity changes, and others. Information systems that have been designed can make aid distribution better and more flexible because the information presented can be directly monitored by the Sleman RDMA and some related donors. The information system that was built has also been tested by Alpha testing and concluded that the information system that was built was well running and correctly. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Natural disasters are events caused by events or a series of events caused by nature. Natural disasters include earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, floods, droughts, hurricanes, and landslides. Indonesia has a very high threat of geological disasters, making it vulnerable to tectonic earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Lack of awareness of the Indonesian people about disaster preparedness will increase the impact of disaster events. Mount Merapi is one of the most active volcanoes in Indonesia. For this reason, disaster preparedness is critical, especially for people in Disaster Prone Areas (DPA) III. This study aimed to determine the level of individual/household readiness index in DPA III in facing the eruption of Mount Merapi. The results showed that the readiness of individuals/households in DPA III was in the "ready" category with an index value of 75,440. While the index values of each parameter are knowledge and attitude parameters (93,978), emergency response plan parameters (68,591), disaster warning system parameters (74,46), and resource mobilization parameters (36,129). The resource mobilization parameter has the lowest index value based on these four parameters, followed by the emergency response plan parameter. Therefore, in this case, the Government, the Regional Disaster Management Agency, and the community need to prioritize awareness-raising and strategies for increasing index values for these two parameters.

Education unit that carries out educational activities in the form of academics, include high schools, institutes, or universities. The leaders, lecturers, and employees must pay attention to customer satisfaction from the perspective of students as consumers. Student satisfaction must be the basis of management decisions, so universities must make increasing student satisfaction a fundamental goal. Total Quality Management (TQM) is a quality management system that focuses on customers by involving all levels of employees in continuous improvement. The education system, which prioritizes the tertiary education system, currently facing struggle for survival and increased pressure from stakeholders need to support "Delighting Customers" to continue to be relevant and sustainable in the future. "Delighting the Customer" is basically the core message in TQM. TQM is used as a workmanship in the research method. In this study we discuss and apply TQM concepts that are relevant for every aspect of academic life, namely for competition, learning and administration activities. This paper presents some results of a study investigating the quality in higher education. The case study involved industrial engineering Diponegoro University and data collected using TQM. The instrument consists of dimensions including Teaching students well, Availability of staff for student consultation, Library services, Computing facilities, Recreational facilities, Class size, Level and difficulty of subject content, and Student workload. The study involves carrying out mapping using the importance satisfaction matrix method whereby data is obtained through questionnaire distributed to students at the Department of Industrial Engineering, University of Diponegoro. From the survey collected, 300 respondents passed the validity and reliability test. Then the gap score was calculated using the Gap Analysis method and mapping done using the Importance Satisfaction Matrix method. The results of the study using the student satisfaction inventory method found that the dimensions of computing facilities have the most significant score gap and, in the mapping, using the importance satisfaction matrix obtained 8 attributes falls in quadrant I, which indicate these variables has below average satisfaction levels but the level of importance is quite high.

The creative industry (CI) is considered to promote human development while promoting the economic growth. It maintains and protects historical and cultural heritage, improve cultural capital, and foster communities as well as individual creativity. Although there is widespread classification of the CI, the Ministry of Tourism of Indonesia has classified CI into 16 sub-sectors, i.e., (1) advertising, (2) architecture, (3) interior design, (4) product design, (5) craft, (6) visual communication design, (7) fashion, (8) film, animation, and video (9) photography, (10) application and game developers, (11) music, (12) performing arts, (13) publishing, (14) fine arts (15) TV and radio (broadcasting), and (16) gastronomy/culinary. The creative industry is an industry that originates from the use of creativity, skills and individual talents to create prosperity and employment by generating and exploiting the individual's creative and creative power. Batik industry is one of Creative Industry in Indonesia which plays an important role in the economic development. However, the Batik are facing difficulties in many areas, especially in spending their scarce resources efficiently. A case study to assess the efficiency of the Batik enterprises has been conducted by applying the data envelopment analysis in Semarang, Indonesia. The results show that from ten assigned Batik enterprises, there are nine enterprises’ that are considered efficient, while the rest are regarded as inefficient. This research is expected to give some advantages to the Batik enterprises’ regarding how to use their limited resources in an efficient way. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Disaster preparedness is an effective, realistic and coordinated planning program with risk reduction measures, reducing the impact of disasters, saving lives optimally, and returning the community to normal conditions in the shortest possible time. Sleman Regency has a volcanic eruption of Mount Merapi potensial. The agency of the emergency response should manage the emergency response period effectively and efficiently both concerning victim handling, and disaster logistics management. This study aims to identify factors for assessing regional readiness in disaster management. The analytic hierarchy process was employed to accomplish the objective of this research. There are 11 factors for assessing regional readiness in natural disaster management, namely: strengthening the legal framework for disaster management, mainstreaming disaster risk reduction in development, enhancing multi-party partnerships in disaster management, implementing Good Governance in disaster management, increasing the effectiveness of disaster prevention and mitigation, improving preparedness and handling disaster emergencies, increasing disaster recovery capacity, understanding disaster risk, strengthening risk governance, DRR investment for resilience, and improving risk management.

Disaster management is a dynamic, sustained, and integrated process to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of activities related to the prevention, mitigation, preparedness, early warning, emergency response, rehabilitation, and reconstruction of the disaster. During the emergency phase, the transportation of humanitarian aids logistic must be properly managed in order to arrive on time and suit with the type and number of needs at each location of evacuation. During Merapi eruption in 2010, there were problems in the distribution of disaster logistic. They included the delay and the mismatch amount and types of relief goods at any location of evacuation. It is mainly due to the absence of transportation system planning to distribute disaster logistic owned by BPBD Sleman. The research aims to improve the system transportation of disaster logistics at the emergency response in order to minimize the unfulfilled demand and transport time using the algorithm Variable Neighborhood Search (VNS). The VNS algorithm is a meta-heuristic algorithm to solve combinatorial and global optimization. The basic idea of this algorithm is a systematic change of neighborhood with local search. The research resulted in four tours that optimally match the objective function with two trucks and two pick-ups. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Petrokimia Gresik is one of the largest fertilizer producer in Indonesia which has a cross-country network of supply chain and distribution throughout the archipelago, either in bulk fertilizer or in bag fertilizer. This research was conducted at PT. PG port which is the main point of the logistics activities in the firm itself, either loading or unloading. This research focus on the process of loading the in bag fertilizer. Problems that occur in this process are due to the inefficiency of the flow of the Supply Chain, caused by the presence of waste and non-value-added activities. The purpose of this study was to determine what kind of waste that occurs during the process, as well as suggestions for improvements using the concept of Lean Supply Chain and Value Stream Mapping, and look for the cause of the problem using the 5 Whys method. The most influential types of waste during the process stream is Waiting Time (20.42%), and Non-Value Added activies of 51.9%. By using 5Whys, the largest cause of waste found are the length of the truck waiting for the cargo, numbers of crane are already inproper, and the absence of the scheduling and charge allocation. Recommended solutions are scheduling and allocation, creation of special line in the warehouse, and supplying cranes with appropriate load speed. Based on improvement suggestions, total NVA predicted to be reduced to 59.8%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The development of construction project towards green construction is needed in order to improve the efficiency of construction projects. One that needs to be minimized is construction waste. Construction waste is waste generated from construction project activities, both solid waste and non solid waste. More specifically, the waste happens at every phase of the project life cycle. Project life cycle are the stage of idea, design, construction, and operation/maintenance. Each phase is managed by different stakeholders. Therefore it requires special handling from the involved stakeholders. The objective of the study is to map the information and identify the waste at each phase of the project life cycle. The purpose of mapping is to figure out the process of information and product flow and with its timeline. This mapping used Value Stream Mapping (VSM). Identification of waste was done by distributing questionnaire to respondents to know the waste according to owner, consultant planner, contractor, and supervisory consultant. The result of the study is the mapping of information flow and product flow at the phases of idea, design, construction, and operation/ maintenance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
