Judul: Perencanaan Letak Dan Luas Ruang Penyimpanan Tutup Botol (Crown) Di PT Tirtalina Bottling CO, Pandaan, Jawa Timur
Abstrak: Tujuan penelitian ini adalah merencanakan letak dan luas ruang penyimpanan tutup botol melalui perhitungan kuantitatif dan penilaian kualitatif agar diperoleh letak dan luas ruang penyimpanan (gudang) yang tepat. Perencanaan letak menggunakan model penugasan (Francis dan White, 1974). Perencanaan luas ruang menggunakan pendekatan kapasitas dengan model persediaan (T,R) periodik (Gelders, 1981). Letak yang tepat dengan luas ruang simpan yang memadai dapat mengurangi biaya transpor dan persediaan. Pada perencanaan letak, ternyata letak alternatif ke-1 mempunyai biaya transpor ke Bagian Produksi paling rendah, yaitu 15 456 rupiah per bulan. Sedangkan letak alternatif ke-2 sekitar 32 200 rupiah per bulan dan letak alternatif ke-3 sekitar 50 876 rupiah per bulan. Pada perencanaan luas ruang, ternyata kapasitas optimal adalah 166 dus (ukuran alas dus adalah panjang 51 cm dan lebar 34 cm). Luas lantai gudang (ruang penyimpanan) yang diperlukan adalah 9 meter persegi, dengan syarat tinggi tumpukan maksimum 5 susun vertikal dan kelonggaran 60 persen untuk kemudahan penanganan bahan (material handling).

Judul: Perancangan Tata Letak Gudang Penyimpanan Produk Olahan Ubi Jalar di PT Galih Estetika Indonesia Kabupaten Kuningan.
Abstrak: PT Galih Estetika Indonesia (PT GEI) merupakan perusahaan yang memproduksi produk olahan dari ubi jalar. Penyimpanan di PT GEI dilakukan secara acak berdasarkan posisi kontainer penyimpanan yang kosong, sehingga membutuhkan waktu untuk mencari produk untuk pengiriman. Tujuan penelitian adalah mengidentifikasi tata letak gudang dan merancang usulan tata letak gudang penyimpanan produk di PT GEI. Perancangan tata letak gudang penyimpanan produk menggunakan metode dedicated storage. Metode tersebut bertujuan untuk memudahkan operator dalam aktivitas menyimpan dan mengeluarkan produk karena produk yang disimpan menempati lokasi yang tetap. Hasil dari penerapan metode dedicated storage, jarak tempuh total pada penempatan tata letak usulan sebesar 109.85 m dengan waktu perjalanan 141.83 menit. Jarak tempuh total penempatan tata letak awal sebesar 139.41 m dengan waktu perjalanan 180 menit. Selisih antara penempatan tata letak awal dengan usulan sebesar 29.56 m dan mengurangi waktu perjalanan 38.17 menit.

Judul: Phylogeography and Species Limits in the Papuan White Snake (Micropechis ikaheka) (Reptilia: Serpentes: Elapidae)
Abstrak: Papua white snake, Micropechis ikaheka, has been distingushed into two subspecies M.i. ikaheka and M.i. fasciatus. However, due to lack of data on their morphology, distribution and ecology, both subspecies often ignored in scintific discussions and refers only byas , Micropechis ikaheka. This study was designed to document the differences between M.i. ikaheka and M.i fasciatus by using scales characteristics and reproductive organ or hemipenes. The study also examine, zoogeography, habitat, diet and cannibalism of both subspecies to better understanding the the ecology of one of the most venomous snakes in the world. This study consists of three topics with method and also different in the size samples, respectively. The first study is the histology and microtopography of the skin were studied using paraffin method and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The second is the hemipenis were examined by following Myers and Cadle (2003), and Zaher and Prudente (2003). The third is the abdominal surgery was carried out to document diet type and the investigate phenomenon of cannibalism in the snake. Specimens for this study came from the collection from Museum Zoologicum Bogoriense (MZB) and Universitas Negeri Papua’s Laboratory (LZU). The research result also indicated that the markers of skin and hemipenis described the same structure and microornamentation in all M. ikaheka groups being compared. Based specimens examined morphological descriptions do not s support the further differentiation in Micropechis. In short, two markers that used in this study could not sufficiently indicate the differences in the level of species and subspecies of M. ikaheka. The study, however, were able to delineate zoogeography and skin color patterns, which fall into four groups: M. i. ikaheka; M. i. fasciatus. M. i. ssp. “intermediate”; and M. i. ssp “black”. This study also revealed that color variations did not overlap in their geographic distribution. It is therefore, it suggested that environmental factors may contribute to the skin color variations. It also assumed that habitat discontinuous and biogeography factors may also cause the loss of the connection between the original populations (vicarians) or follow colonization events (dispersal). The examined of 22 stomach contents of M. ikaheka shows this species is carnivorous, and prey on vertebrates such as amphibians, fish, reptiles, and Mammals. These snakes are opportunistic predators since they prey on all that can be captured, but mainly reptiles (61.5%), followed by mammals and fish (both 15.4%), and amphibians (7.7%). Although categorized as terrestrial animal, the diet study showed that M. ikaheka snakes often go into the water to hunt for fish (the sample from Yapen island), including eel (the sample from Aru island). Based on prey items indentified, there is evidence that M. ikaheka is cannibal. At this time, there still no record on reason for cannibalism, but it is assumed that cannibalism was due to competition between populations and means to control population.
