Judul: Pemodelan Value Stream Mapping dengan Rapid Appraisal untuk Peningkatan Efisiensi dan Produktivitas pada Multi-Produksi Wooden Door.
Abstrak: Efisiensi dan produktivitas aliran proses multi produksi wooden door dapat dicapai dengan mengeliminasi limbah yang teridentifikasi pada aliran proses. Value Stream Mapping (VSM) merupakan sebuah metode dasar pada sistem manufaktur lean untuk mengidentifikasi dan mengeliminasi limbah. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah melakukan perbaikan aliran proses multi produksi dengan Rapid Appraisal untuk menjembatani menuju future state map, sehingga efisiensi dan produktivitas dapat ditingkatkan. Penelitian ini dilakukan dalam beberapa tahap penting, yakni identifikasi terhadap famili produk dan aliran produk untuk diamati, memetakan current state, mengidentifikasi pemborosan dan solusi perbaikan, serta pemetaan future state. Pada penelitian ini, produk diklasifikasi menjadi tiga famili sesuai aliran produk, yaitu desain easy door, medium door dan hard door. Hasil current state map menunjukkan pada famili easy door diperoleh lead time selama 28.28 hari, pada famili medium door diperoleh lead time selama 20.2 hari dan pada famili hard door diperoleh lead time selama 7.35 hari. Solusi perbaikan yang digunakan untuk mengurangi waste adalah Single Minute Exchange of Dies (SMED). Setelah dilakukan analisis perbaikan didapatkan pengurangan nilai lead time easy door 26.28 hari, medium door 18.2 hari dan hard door 7.19 hari. Hasil dari future state map perlu diidentifikasi mengenai faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi dengan menggunakan analisis leverage. Hasil analisis leverage dengan tiga kali iterasi menunjukan bahwa penjadwalan, pengendalian bahan baku dan kondisi cutter block merupakan atribut yang paling berpengaruh.

Judul: Perbaikan Aliran Proses Produksi dari Aspek Tata Cara Kerja dan Tata Letak Pabrik dengan Metode Value Stream Mapping (Studi Kasus PT. X)
Abstrak: Effectivity and efficiency of production flow can be achieved by eliminating identified waste in the flow process. Value stream mapping is a fundamental tool in lean manufacturing system to identify and eliminate waste. The objective of this research is to analyze the production flow in PT. X from the work procedure and factory layout aspect, so that the effectivity and efficiency of the flow process can be improved continuously. This research consists of several important steps; choosing a product to be observed, making the current state VSM for the chosen product, analyzing the current state VSM, and then making the future state VSM. The depiction of current state VSM shows that the production lead time for the observed product is 17 hours 53 minutes and 52 seconds, with the percentage of value added time counted 56,87%. The result of improvement analysis in this research shows a reduction of production lead time for 13,16%, and also an improvement of value added time percentage to 60,26%.

Judul: Distribution and Diversity of Ectoparasite Mites on Geckos in Indonesia
Abstrak: Data on the diversity and dispersal of parasitic mites on house geckos in Indonesia are very scarce. In this work, the distribution and diversity of mites living on three species of house geckos, namely Cosymbotus platyurus, Hemidactylus frenatus, and H. garnotii collected throughout Indonesia, has been elaborated. Geckos and mites were captured and immediately preserved in 70% ethanol. Whole mount of the mites was prepared by clearing in lactophenol followed by mounting on polyvinyl lactophenol solutions. The SEM preparation was conducted to examine the detail morphological characters of the mites. The results showed that among 448 individuals of geckos, 221 geckos were infected by Geckobia mites. Prevalences of C. platyurus, H. frenatus, and H. garnotii infested by mites were 14.8%, 50.69%, and 79.6%, respectively. Three different spesies of Geckobia (G1, G2, and G3) could be differentiated; and based on similarities of their morphological characters to ones described in published literatures, Geckobia G2 is Geckobia glebosum and Geckobia G3 is Geckobia bataviensis while G1 could not be identified to the species level. The highest mean intensity of Geckobia G1 infestation was found on H. garnotii (I=7.0), G. glebosum infestation on H. frenatus (I=3.5), and G. bataviensis infestation on H. garnotii (I=11.8). In general, C. platyurus was infested by the least number of mites. Geckobia G1 were found living on the skin folds on the claws, G. glebosum were found mainly on the body and thigh, and G. bataviensis were found on almost all parts of the host’s body. Geckobia mites are distributed randomly throughout Indonesian Archipelago, following the pattern of distribution of their hosts. So it is concluded that Geckobia G1, G. glebosum, and G. bataviensis are sympatric.
