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.

Disaster readiness management is the main thing that the government must pay attention to in order to obtain methods as material for evaluating regional disaster management and management. The Regional Disaster Management Agency, hereinafter referred to as BPBD is one of the stakeholders who play an active role and is fully responsible for disaster preparedness in the region, so the Sleman BPBD readiness is crucial in handling and managing the eruption of Mount Merapi. So far, no assessment regarding this readiness has been carried out. This study aims to measure and map BPBD Sleman's readiness to handle and manage Mount Merapi's eruption in Yogyakarta Province. The variables used in this study are variables from the Sendai Framework and the National Disaster Management Plan. This study uses the Nominal Group Technique method for variable validation and the Analytic Hierarchy Process for variable weighting. It then changes the scale from ordinal to interval using the Method of Successive Interval. The next step is to calculate the readiness index by multiplying the results of the indicator assessment by weight. Data processing is carried out using 11 main criteria and 43 indicators. The results of the calculation of the readiness index show that the readiness index value of the Sleman BPBD is 55.362. Based on the index categorization and readiness status, the readiness of Sleman BPBD is in the ready category. Recommendations for improvement are made to indicators with assessment results that have low scores or indexes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

One of the problems with the growth of batik industrial clusters in Indonesia is the interest of business owners to consistently develop new ideas and creativity through product and process innovation. This problem causes most of the SMEs in Batik in the industrial cluster to experience a decline in turnover and difficulty meeting customer needs and desires. This study focuses on the function of knowledge management as a mediator and tries to develop a conceptual model that describes the impact of entrepreneurial orientation, industrial cluster, and knowledge management on the innovation performance of the batik industry cluster. This study uses the SEM PLS method to test the effect of these variables. The test results show that entrepreneurial orientation and industrial clusters significantly affect innovation performance, and knowledge management is a mediator of this influence. The study's findings might be consulted when developing a plan to boost the effectiveness of innovations in the batik industrial cluster. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of this study is using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method to determine the value of supply chain performance in the Sikatak bridge construction project and provide recommendations for improvements to the Sikatak Bridge construction project. The AHP provided are accurate performance assessment on the Sikatak Bridge construction project is expected to facilitate the existing SCM process. Therefore, the effectiveness of the supply chain on the project is increasing.

The supply chain is also a significant aspect in project infrastructure because almost all activities in it are included in the supply chain. Good supply chain management have a positive impact on the construction projects development. The way to determine the condition of the supply chain in construction is by measuring the supply chain performance. This research was conducted on The Sikatak Bridge construction project in Indonesia. The several constraints that occur are changing the pillar body design that make having a more time to finish, delaying in material delivery, and the bad weather conditions. Based on those problems, performance assessment can be done using the Supply Chain Operation Reference (SCOR) method. The result of the study is there are 10 indicators of supply chain performance assessment and in this study uses only four indicators because the determination of indicators is based on the needs of the project and project data actual. The indicators used in this study are Perfect Order Fulfillment (POF), Total Supply chain Management Cost (TSCM), Cost of Goods Sold (COGS), and Return on Supply chain Fixed Cost (ROF).

Outcome-Based Education (OBE) focuses on results, not just the material to be completed. OBE measures learning outcomes and enable students to develop new skills that prepare them at a global level. OBE is an approach that emphasizes the continuity of the learning process in an innovative, interactive, and effective manner. OBE influences the entire educational process of curriculum design, formulation of learning objectives and outcomes, education strategy; learning method design; assessment procedures; and the education environment/ecosystem. OBE is implemented by integrating several curriculum designs, assessments, and teaching and learning methods that focus on what students can do. OBE emphasizes that social, economic, and academic cultural conditions can meet learning outcomes from knowledge, skills, and attitudes. This study aims to describe the journey of implementing OBE in the Faculty of Engineering, Diponegoro University. This research is ongoing and will continue to be carried out to find the best way to implement OBE. Best practices from various universities become a reference in implementing OBE at the Faculty of Engineering, Diponegoro University. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Batik is a product of the creative industry which belongs to the fashion category. Since being recognized by UNESCO, the popularity of batik has increased. Most of the batik products are produced by SME, which are scattered in Indonesian cities in industrial clusters. The problem faced by the batik industrial cluster is that it is difficult to compete in facing market competition because of the low level of innovation. Innovation needs to be done so that batik SME can create products that have a competitive advantage. Some batik SMEs lack creativity in developing new motifs so that the SME products are less attractive to the market. Batik is different from other fashion products because of the uniqueness of batik, namely the motif. When buying Batik products, consumers often ask about the availability of new motifs and want an exclusive batik motif. The more limited the production of a particular batik motif, the more expensive the batik will be. This makes printed and written batik still exist even though there is a threat from printed batik from both within and outside the country, which is very cheap. On the other hand, process innovation is batik SME to develop more efficient production techniques. Most of the batik SMEs still carry out the batik production process using simple technology. The absence of work standards that regulate the work system of the batik makers has resulted in a long production process. Therefore, it is necessary to innovate more efficient production techniques to increase productivity so that production costs can be cheaper. Furthermore, batik SME needs to develop innovation in terms of marketing. Marketing carried out by SME is still offline and relies on tourists and official guests who come to visit. This has resulted in SME being unable to face the increasingly fierce competition in the fashion sector. This study uses the PLS (Partial Least Square) method to determine the factors influencing the innovation strategy in creating a competitive advantage in batik SME. The research object is the SME batik in the cities of Semarang, Solo, and Pekalongan. The final output of this research is recommendations for improvement for batik SMEs and the government in developing the batik industry cluster. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
