ALTERNATIVE UTILIZATION OF TOBACCO LEAF WASTE USING THE ANP METHOD AT THE REDRIYING BOJONEGORO COOPERATIVE

The Bojonegoro Redriying Employee Cooperative (Kareb) is one of the tobacco drying places/services in East Java under the auspices of the cooperative. The tobacco sticks (ste,) operated by KAREB are not grown and piled up in the storage warehouse. Each tobacco drying process in 1 year produces 8,665,409 stems, while there is no additional cost for stem storage. This research uses the ANP method because there are 3 alternatives chosen in this research, namely briquettes, compost and bioplastics. ANP is a structured problem-solving method and there is a dependence on the relationship between its elements, the ANP method was chosen because the proposals to be applied have interrelated criteria, ANP involves hierarchical relationships but does not require a standard structure. The priority of each cluster in the model is in the 3 alternatives, namely briquettes with a value of 0.73868, then from the 6 sub-criteria, the highest value is in waste utilization, which is 0.66140, then from the 3 highest value criteria, namely the economic aspect with a value of 0.68261. Charcoal briquettes can function as an alternative fuel to replace the use of oil and gas fuel in industry and households, these briquettes are a source of renewable energy produced from biomass, namely plants or plants that are abundant in the environment. The ecological aspect because seeing the opportunity for waste if processed can be useful into a product with high selling value, from an economic point of view, the community's ability to process agricultural waste into charcoal briquettes as a source of renewable energy can be an additional source of income. The briquette production is the first step of authoring all biomass is put into a jobong container and burned, then the charcoal powder filled in the jobong is stretched and separated between charcoal and dirt, followed by the addition of adhesive and printer adhesive material used is tapioca flour.

Integration of Sustainability in Risk Management and Operational Excellence through the VIKOR Method Considering Comparisons between Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Methods

In the current context, organizations face an important challenge in managing risks related to environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues. This research presents a general method for prioritizing organizational risks with a focus on sustainability based on the characterization of five typologies of organizational risks and their respective sub-risks, based on an analysis of global reports. Subsequently, paired surveys are administered to a group of experts from various sectors, who assign importance to the organizational sub-risks. Their responses serve as the basis for the prioritization of these risks, using the VIšekriterijumsko KOmpromisno Rangiranje (VIKOR) method, which highlights the following most relevant organizational sub-risks for each type of risk: (1) Lack of ethics in the conduct of business (geopolitical risk); (2) Deficit in economic growth (economic risk); (3) Chemical safety (social risk); (4) Massive data fraud or theft incidents (technological risk); and (5) Water depletion (environmental risk). Additionally, a sensitivity analysis is performed to determine the robustness of the results of the VIKOR method and then compare the correlation coefficients with respect to the results obtained in previous studies for the AHP and ANP methods. Finally, we propose the implementation of a model to manage organizational risks, which are addressed proactively through an integral vision, allowing for continuous improvement and alignment with corporate strategy by means of an operational excellence management system (OEMS).

Quantitative assessment of whether phosphorus-based flame retardants are optimizing or degrading the fire hazard of aircraft carbon fiber/epoxy composites

Fire hazards are a primary concern in aircraft accidents, and controlling combustible materials is pivotal in managing cabin fire risks. This work aims to elucidate the impact of widespread measures that introduce phosphorus-based flame retardants (PFRs) on the fire safety of carbon fiber epoxy composites (CF/EP). Firstly, the hazardous indicators for flame retardant CF/EP composites exhibit two categories of optimization and degradation, which are caused by the intrinsic feature, pyrolysis characteristics and chemical valence states of PFRs. Secondly, the fire hazards of composites are assessed by fusing the analytic network process and information weights guided by Nash Equilibrium theory. The method combines the merits of subjective and objective weights from dimensions of intrinsic hazards, interrelationships and data dispersion of indicators. Finally, the assessed fire hazard rankings under 35 and 65 kW/m2 both are EP > CF/EP16%DOPO-HQ > CF/EP > CF/EP7%DPO. In conclusion, DOPO-HQ (+1) primarily increases the fire hazard of CF/EP due to gas-phase flame-retardant effects, while DPO (+3) predominantly reduces the fire hazard of CF/EP by contributing to condensed-phase effects. This work highlights the contradictory effects of PFRs on the fire safety of CF/EP composites due to structure and thermal stability. The proposed ANP and IW hybridization method provides a theoretical foundation for selecting flame retardants and assessing material fire hazards comprehensively.
