Judul: An Implementation of Value Stream Mapping for Efficiency and Productivity Improvement at Gluten-Free Remix Flour Production
Abstrak: Proses produksi adalah kegiatan utama yang berorientasi nilai tambah untuk menjaga aliran efisiensi dan produktivitasnya dengan menghilangkan beberapa pemborosan di seluruh aliran proses. Value Stream Mapping (VSM) adalah upaya untuk mengurangi pemborosan dalam proses produksi dengan menerapkan konsep lean manufacturing, yaitu dengan mengidentifikasi dan menghilangkan segala jenis limbah. Implementasi value stream mapping sebagai rekomendasikan untuk perbaikan untuk mengeliminasi limbah yang telah teridentifikasi sepanjang aliran nilai dapat mengurangi lead time dari 16415 detik menjadi 12044 detik. Takt time proses produksi per unit produk menurun dari 256 detik menjadi 188 detik. Berdasarkan hasil tersebut, terjadi peningkatan efisiensi proses produksi, yang awalnya 64%, meningkat menjadi 88%. Selain itu, produktivitas produksi juga mengalami peningkatan dari 1,75 menjadi 2,39. Hasil tersebut menunjukkan eliminasi pemborosan yang terdapat dalam proses produksi dapat meningkatkan efisiensi dan produktivitas proses produksi.

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%.

Abstrak: Spotted dove and Javan turtle dove are the bird species that are easily raised in captivity. Nevertheless, good management is required to successfully breed and raise the birds in captivity; otherwise, the condition may endanger the sustainability of the two bird species. Information on ectoparasites on the bodies of this bird as well as their captivity breeding has not been available, although admittedly taking ectoparasites from these bird families has much been done so that a research is obviously needed. This study aimed to find out various kinds of Spotted dove and Javan turtle dove ectoparasites and to learn various kinds of parasitic insects around the Spotted dove and Javan turtle dove cages. The study was conducted from April to June 2010. The methods of data collection included the general condition of the location, collection of ectoparasites specimens, processing and specimens identification. The data analysis was done descriptively and tabulated with the degree of infestation. The kinds of ectoparasites from the class of insects found in the body of Spotted dove were Goniocotes sp. and Columbicola columbae of phthiraptera order and Pseudolynchia canariensis of diptera order, and arachnida class, that is, tungau from the pterolichidae family. In terms of ectoparasites, Spotted dove and Javan turtle dove were similar, except that Javan turtle dove had no Pseudolynchia canariensis. Goniocotes sp. and Columbicola columbae were mallopaga order (biting lice) and were obligate. The kinds of parasitic insects in the vicinity of Spotted dove and Javan turtle dove cages were from the Ordo Diptera. The diptera classified as parasites included Anopheles, Culex, Psychodidae, Culicoides and Simulium, most of them vectors of disease. The presence of ectoparasites was closely related to how a breeding place is managed.
