Layout Design of Copra Factory Facilities in Small and Medium Industry Centers Using Systematic Layout Planning Method

This research was conducted on the layout of copra processing facilities. Copra is one of the products to be produced by the Small and Medium Industry Center in the Meranti Islands. The purpose of designing the layout of this copra factory facility is to provide a proposal in the form of a copra processing facility layout with the shortest material handling distance. The methods used in this study are Systematic Layout Planning (SLP) and Arena Simulation. The result of the SLP method is in the form of alternative layout proposals, which will be checked with a simulation model. This Arena simulation is carried out to see whether the production process of the resulting layout is good or not by implementing it into a conceptual model in the Arena software, which is then tested to see the disruptions that exist in the production process, such as the accumulation of raw materials at one of the stations (bottleneck). Based on data processing results, one alternative layout was selected with a material handling distance of 26.33 m from 3 existing alternatives. This selection is based on the smallest material handling distance obtained. Furthermore, testing the layout with the Arena software simulation model found that there was a disruption in the production process in the form of a buildup of raw materials at the smoking and drying station caused by the manual drying process using the scorching heat of the sun so that it takes 4-5 days for the drying process.

Sustainability performance assessment of sago industry supply chain using a multi-criteria adaptive fuzzy inference model

Background: Sustainable supply chains are more competitive than conventional supply chains. Supply chain sustainability performance needs to be carried out to determine sustainability under current conditions and to design appropriate strategies to increase sustainability. This study aims to design a sustainability performance assessment model for the sago agro-industry supply chain and identify critical indicators for sustainability improvement. Methods: The Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) evaluates sustainability on three levels: economic, social, and environmental. The Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) is then used to aggregate the overall sustainability performance. The cosine amplitude method (CAM) was used to analyze key indicators. This study assessed the sustainability performance on industrial- and small-medium-scale sago agro-industry. Results: The results show that the supply chain sustainability performance on the industrial scale is 44.25, while it is 48.81 for the small-medium scale with the same status, almost sustainable. Key indicators for improving sago agro-industry supply chain sustainability performance include profit distribution among supply chain actors, institutional support for supply chains, waste utilization (reuse & recycle), and the availability of waste management facilities. The implication of this research for managers regards assessing the current status of sustainability performance and key indicators as a reference for formulating sustainability strategies and practices. Conclusions: The results of the study will enable supply chain actors to understand the key indicators for improving sustainability performance in the sago agro-industry supply chain, especially in Meranti Islands Regency, Riau Province. The proposed model can be applied to other agro-industries by adjusting the indicators used and assessing data availability and suitability for the research object.

Analysis of Resistance to Fungal Pathogen Hemileia Vastatrix of Liberica Coffee Based on Functional Marker

Coffee Leaf Rust (CLR) disease caused by fungal pathogen Hemileia vastatrix is one of devastated diseases in coffee plants. Disease RGA (resistance gene analog) primer pair CARF 005 has been reported for leaf rust-resistant screening in Arabica coffee and has never been reported in Liberica coffee. Previously, Liberoid Meranti 1 and 2 (Lim 1 and Lim 2) from Meranti Islands Indonesia were officially published by the government as CLR resistant cultivars and adaptive to peat soil. Our study aimed to analyze the resistance of Liberica coffee plants based on functional primer CARF 005. We sampled healthy plants of three Liberica genotypes (Lim 1, Lim 2, Bengkalis) in commercial farmer fields. DNA was extracted from young leaves, amplified and sequenced using CARF 005 primers. All samples generated DNA band about 400 bp. In addition, nucleotide sequences are similar to Arabica putative disease resistance gene. All the three sequences contain NB-ARC conserved domain which contribute to pathogenic-resistant trait. The regions also contain one motif sequence of P-loop/Walker-A domain. Our result confirmed that DNA fragments amplified by CARF 005 are linked to RGA region and eventually we suggested that CARF 005 can be used to identify resistance to CLR in Liberica. It will particularly contribute for supporting Liberica breeding program and conservation of Liberica germplasm
