Judul: Business Analysis and Development of Chitosan-Based Coating Products at CV. Bio Chitosan Indonesia
Abstrak: CV. Bio Chitosan Indonesia merupakan perusahaan yang mengolah cangkang udang dan kepiting salju menjadi kitin dan kitosan. Salah satu permasalahan yang terdapat pada perusahaan ini adalah produk yang dihasilkan masih berupa produk setengah jadi, sehingga konsumen dari perusahaan sangatlah terbatas dan hanya dapat diterima oleh industri di luar negeri seperti Korea dan Jepang. Hal ini sangat disayangkan karena peluang untuk pengembangan produk berbahan dasar kitosan dapat menjadi pemasukan tambahan bagi perusahaan. Maka pada penelitian ini dilakukan pengembangan produk coating untuk memperpanjang umur simpan produk. Komposisi bahan yang digunakan adalah kombinasi antara kitosan (1%) dan gliserol (2%) dalam larutan asam sitrat (2%). Produk coating diujikan pada dua komoditas berupa apel dan paprika dengan menggunakan metode extended storage studies. Kedua produk mengalami peningkatan umur simpan hingga dua kali lipat dari penyimpanan kontrol tanpa menggunakan larutan kitosan. Larutan kitosan ini memiliki sifat asam yakni pH di angka 2,93, viskositas pada 20 cP, dan berat jenis sebesar 1,02 g/cm3. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan pemodelan bisnis menggunakan metode Business Model Canvas (BMC) yang mencakup kelebihan produk, segmentasi konsumen, mitra, rancangan keuangan, dan kegiatan operasional. Hasil analisis biaya proses produksi membutuhkan modal sebesar Rp61.000.000. Harga akhir untuk produk coating kitosan ini adalah Rp26.326 untuk penjualan dalam kemasan 1 L, Rp100.880 untuk kemasan jerigen 5 L, dan Rp53.777 untuk kemasan konsentrat 1 L., CV. Bio Chitosan Indonesia is a company that processes shrimp and snow crab shells into chitin and chitosan. One of the problems with this company is that the products it produces are semi-finished products, so the company's consumers are very limited and can only be accepted by overseas industries such as Korea and Japan. This is very unfortunate because the opportunity to develop chitosan-based products can be an additional source of income for the company. So in this research, the development of coating products was carried out to extend the shelf life of the product. The composition of the material used was a combination of chitosan (1%) and glycerin (2%) in a citric acid solution (2%). Coating products were tested on two commodities, namely apples and peppers. Both of these products experienced an increase in shelf life of up to two times that of control storage without using a chitosan solution. This chitosan solution had acidic properties, namely a pH of 2.93, a viscosity of 20 cP, and a specific gravity of 1.02 g/cm3. Business modeling was also carried out for this product using the Business Model Canvas (BMC) method, which includes product advantages, consumer segmentation, partners, financial plans, and operational activities. The results of the analysis of the cost of the production process require a capital investment of Rp61.000.000. The final price for this chitosan coating product using cost plus pricing method is Rp26.326 for sales in 1 L packaging, Rp100.880 for 5 L jerry cans, and Rp53.777 for 1 L concentrate packaging.

Judul: Advisability Bussiness of Chitasil Edible Coating at  PT. Berkah Inovatif Kreatif Indonesia in Bogor.
Abstrak: Melihat adanya kebutuhan akan konsumsi buah dan sayur tentunya perlu menjaga kualitasnya. PT Berkah Inovasi Kreatif Indonesia (BIKI) merupakan perusahaan yang memproduksi Chitasil Edible Coating yang merupakan produk pelapis buah dan sayur berbahan dasar chitosan. Melihat potensi yang ada tentunya perlu dilakukan analisis kelayakan pada usaha Chitasil Edible Coating. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk menganalisis kelayakan usaha berdasarkan aspek non finansial dan aspek finansial serta melihat sensitivitasnya. Berdasarkan aspek non finansial yang terdiri dari aspek pasar, ,aspek teknis,aspek manajemen dan hukum, aspek sosial ekonomi dan budaya, serta aspek lingkungan, usaha ini layak untuk dijalankan. Hasil untuk aspek finansial nilai NPV sebesar Rp 108 791 927, IRR sebesar 50.03 persen, Net B/C sebesar Rp 3.35 dan Payback Periode dalam waktu 2 tahun 6 bulan sehingga layak untuk dijalankan. Berdasarkan analisis sesitivitas pada kondisi kenaikan harga input chitosan sebesar 15 persen, penurunan harga output sebesar 5 persen dan penurunan jumlah produksi sebesar 10 persen maka usaha Chitasil Edible Coating oleh PT. BIKI masih tetap layak untuk dijalankan karena masih memenuhi kriteria investasi., Seen from the consumption of fruits and vegetables, ofcourse it has needed to keep the quality. PT. Berkah Inovasi kreatif Indonesia (BIKI) is the company that produce the Chitasil Edible Coating that material to upholstery of fruits and vegetables. It made from "chitosan".. Seen from those potentials, so it has needed to do analysis of advisabilty business based on non financial and financial aspects and also see from the sensitivity. Based on non financial,which consisting of market, technical, management and law, social-economy ,and culture and environment. This bussiness is reasonable to implemented. The result of financial aspect, the value of NPV in the amount of Rp. 108 791 927, IRR about 50,03 percent, Net B/C about Rp. 3.35, and period for payback during 2 years 6 months, so that it's advisability to obtain. Based on sensitivity of raising of the input price of Chitosan about 15 percent, output price reduction about 5 percent and decreasing in production about 10 percent, So bussiness of Chitasil Edible Coating is still advisability to obtain because it is still satisfy to investation criteria

Judul: Approximation of the Median of Poisson Distribution Using the Relation of Poisson-Gamma Distribution
Abstrak: A major drawback of median is that median cannot usually be defined in closed form, even in the cases where their distribution functions are known. This study gives an approximation of the closed form for the median of the Poisson distribution by using the relation of Poisson-Gamma distribution. The approximation uses elementary techniques based on the monotonicity of certain sequences involving tail probabilities of the Poisson distribution and the Central Limit Theorem. Furthermore, a closed form expression for the mean absolute deviation 􀜧|􀜰􀰒 􀵆 􀜯􀝁􀝀􁈺􀜰􀰒􁈻| is also studied. The median is relevant because of the fact that it minimizes the mean absolute deviation of a Poisson random variable (􀜰􀰒􁈻 by considering median as central tendency.
