Judul: MODEL STRATEGI UNTUK MENINGKATKAN NILAI TAMBAH DAN PRODUKTIVITAS STUDI KASUS: LEU BAGOE AWEE SME
Abstrak: Aceh has a great potential of becoming a producer of rattan furniture and handicraft. It has an abundance of material, as well as SMEs that are relying on the rattan. Moreover, in one of Aceh district, there is a rattan furniture and handicrafts SME centre. One of the SME is Leu Bagoe Awee which was selected as a subject to the case study in this research. However, most SMEs in that centre still facing many inefficiencies in production and value which was offered to customers. Due to economic reasons, Aceh needs to improve productivity to secure economic growth by producing products with added value. The production process is the main activity to add value to keep the efficiency and productivity flow by eliminating some waste in the whole process flow while added value is the increase in the value by undertaking the production process. Therefore this research will use Value stream mapping (VSM) to address the inefficiency in Leu Bagoe Awee. Value stream mapping (VSM) is an effort to reduce waste in the production process while applying lean manufacturing, mainly by identifying and eliminating any wastes. Reducing the waste in production will also increase the value of the output of production since it minimises the unnecessary activity that adds cost to it. Hence, the objectives of this research were to map the current value stream, eliminating the wastes, and generate a strategy model. After using the data from interviews and observation, the result shows there were five types of wastes existing in the current value stream. The takt time of the production process per unit of a product was 6.3 hours. The illustration of implementing value stream mapping recommended for improvement reduced the lead time from 58 hours to 14.55 hours. There was an efficiency improvement of the production process from these results, which initially 51%, increased to 59%. In addition, the production productivity has risen from 0.57 to 1.18. These results indicated the elimination of waste in the production process could improve efficiency and productivity production processes. The future mapping is expected to become a strategy model for Leu Bagoe Awee and other SMEs in the area. The principles of Value Stream Mapping implementation is wished to disrupt the work culture in the rattan furniture and handicraft centre in Aceh Besar as a continuous improvement.

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: Psittacosis Sebagai Zoonosis Penting Yang Berasal Dari Burung
Abstrak: Psittacosis atau ornithosis adalah penyakit menular dari burung kepada manusia. Agens penyebab psittacosis termasuk ke dalam virus psittacosis-lymphogranuloma venereum group yang disebut Chlamydia psittaci. C. psittaci hanya dapat berkembang biak di dalam jaringan hidup tetapi peka terhadap antibiotik. Penyebaran penyakit ini sangat luas, terdapat hampir di seluruh dunia. Di Indonesia penyakit ini belum pernah di diagnosa, tetapi mengingat terdapat demikian banyaknya jenis burung maka diperkirakan psittacosis ini sudah ada. Kasus pada manusia pertamakali ditemukan oleh Ritter pada tahun 1879, di Eropa. Waktu itu dikenal sebagai pneumotyphus. Chlamydia psittaci tidak hanya sebagai penyebab infeksi pada burung, juga bisa menyebabkan infeksi pada mamalia diantaranya sapi, kerbau, kambing, domba, babi dan kucing. Pada kucing dikenal sebagai feline pneumonitis. Pada domba atau kambing mengakibatkan enzootic abortion. Pada burung, kalkun merupakan unggas paling rentan diikuti oleh burung psittacine dan burung lain di luar famili psittacidae. Virulensinyapun berbeda-beda. Yang berasal dari kalkun bervirulensi tinggi, sedangkan yang berasal dari burung merpati bisa bervirulensi tinggi bisa juga bervirulensi rendah. Penularan terjadi melalui kontak langsung maupun ti- dak langsung. Penularan melalui telur tidak terjadi. Umumnya penyakit ini memperlihatkan gejala klinis berupa deman, lesu, lemah, anorexia, kurus, diarrhea ber- warna kekuningan, discharge dari mata dan hidung, conjunc- tivitis. Gejala khas pada kalkun adalah istirahat dengan sternum sebagai dasarnya, karena adanya tekanan dari bagian perut yang sakit. Sedangkan pada manusia memperlihatkan adanya demam, kadang-kadang merasa dingin, lesu, sakit kepala yang hebat, sakit pada bagian belakang badan dan photophobia…dst
