Judul: Design of Layout Improvement in Food Canning Factory Sharing
Abstrak: PT Kita Satu Rasa sebagai suatu factory sharing memiliki tantangan untuk menyediakan produk pangan yang berkualitas melalui proses produksi yang lancar, aman, dan bermutu. Namun, dalam pengamatan langsung masih ditemukan permasalahan utamanya pada kondisi tata letak yang dapat memengaruhi kelancaran proses produksi. Permasalahan yang dihadapi PT Kita Satu Rasa pada tata letak pabrik pengalengan saat ini yaitu penempatan aktivitas yang terpencar, aliran backtracking, dan ketidaksesuaian allowance pada area kerja. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi kondisi awal tata letak pabrik pengalengan dan menganalisis perbaikan tata letak pabrik pengalengan. Perancangan perbaikan tata letak dilakukan dengan metode SLP (Systematic Layout Planning) dan algoritma CORELAP (Computerized Layout Planning). Tata letak usulan pada pabrik pengalengan menghasilkan peningkatan efisiensi jarak perpindahan material sebesar 28,89% berdasarkan hasil simulasi., PT Kita Satu Rasa, as a sharing factory, has challenges providing quality food products through a safe and quality production process. The problems PT Kita Satu Rasa faced in the current layout of the canning factory are the placement of scattered activities, backtracking flow, and inappropriate allowances in the work area. However, in direct observation, the main problem is still found in the layout conditions that will affect the safety and quality of the final product. This study aims to identify the initial conditions and analyze the improvement of the cannery layout. The layout improvement design uses the SLP (Systematic Layout Planning) method and the CORELAP (Computerized Layout Planning) algorithm. The proposed layout of the cannery increased the efficiency of the material transfer distance by 28.89%, based on the simulation results.

Judul: Production Facility Layout Design at PT Sutan Vet Medika
Abstrak: PT Sutan Vet Medika merupakan industri pakan hewan yang memproduksi suplemen penambah nafsu makan kucing dan anjing. Terdapat beberapa permasalahan pada tata letak fasilitas produksi yaitu penempatan pintu toilet yang belum sesuai dengan pedoman CPOHB, penempatan tata letak fasilitas produksi belum memperhatikan aliran bahan sehingga terdapat aliran bahan yang backtracking, dan penggunaan area ruangan fasilitas produksi yang digunakan sebagai tempat tinggal karyawan. Proyek desain utama ini bertujuan untuk merancang alternatif tata letak fasilitas produksi untuk memperbaiki permasalahan dari tata letak sebelumnya. Perancangan perbaikan tata letak fasilitas produksi dilakukan dengan metode SLP (Systematic Layout Planning) dan algoritma CORELAP (Computerized Layout Planning). Tata letak usulan fasilitas produksi menghasilkan peningkatan efisiensi jarak perpindahan material sebesar 23,67% berdasarkan hasil simulasi., PT Sutan Vet Medika is an animal feed industry that produces supplements to increase the appetite of cats and dogs. There are several issues with the production facilities layout, including the improper placement of the restroom door according to the Good Animal Drug Manufacturing Practice (GADMP) guidelines, the production facilities layout that have not paid attention to the material flow as it creates material backtracking, and the use of production facilities space for employees’ residences. This research aims to design alternative production facilities layouts to address the issues of the previous layout. The improvement of the production facilities layout is carried out using the Systematic Layout Planning (SLP) method and the CORELAP (Computerized Layout Planning) algorithm. The layout of proposed production facilities increase 23.67% material transfer distance efficiency based on simulation results.

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.
