Judul: The Implementation of Halal Product  Assurance System and The Analysis of Value Chain on The Micro and Small  Enterprise of XYZ’ Crystallizeded Ginger
Abstrak: Kewajiban untuk sertifikasi halal bagi semua produk pangan didasari oleh Pasal 4 Undang-undang Nomor 33 tahun 2014 tentang Jaminan Produk Halal, Peraturan Pemerintah No.31 Tahun 2019, dan Undang-undang No.11 Tahun 2020. Dewasa ini, di Indonesia terdapat banyak usaha mikro, kecil, dan menengah yang bergerak di bidang pangan, salah satunya UMK XYZ yang memproduksi manisan jahe kering. UMK XYZ terletak di Cipanas, Kabupaten Cianjur. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengimplementasikan sistem jaminan produk halal di UMK Manisan Jahe XYZ agar memperoleh sertifikat halal serta menganalisis rantai nilai dari UMK tersebut agar bisa dilakukan optimalisasi serta perbaikan dari rantai usaha mulai dari pembelian bahan baku sampai distribusi produk. Manisan jahe yang diproduksi berbahan dasar jahe gajah. Alat produksi yang digunakan masih sangat sederhana dan mayoritas tahapan produksi dikerjakan secara manual oleh tenaga manusia. Untuk memenuhi kewajiban sertifikasi halal bagi UMK, maka dilakukan implementasi SJPH (Sistem Jaminan Produk Halal) dengan pemenuhan 5 kriteria halal, yaitu komitmen dan tanggug jawab, bahan, produk, proses produk halal, dan evaluasi serta pemantauan sebagai langkah pendaftaran sertifikasi halal. UMK XYZ mendaftar sertifikasi halal dengan metode self-declare. Adanya metode ini tentunya memudahkan para pelaku usaha mikro dan kecil untuk mengajukan sertifikasi halal. Selain itu, dilakukan analisis rantai nilai untuk menganalisis aktivitas-aktivitas yang bisa meningkatkan value produk. Terdapat dua aktivitas rantai nilai metode Porter, yaitu aktivitas utama dan aktivitas pendukung. Aktivitas utama terdiri dari pengadaan bahan baku, produksi, dan pemasaran. Sedangkan, aktivitas pendukung terdiri dari infrastruktur, sumber daya manusia, dan pengembangan teknologi. UMK XYZ telah mengimplementasikan sistem jaminan produk halal dan memperoleh sertifikat halal melalui pendaftaran jalur self-declare. Berdasarkan hasil analisis rantai nilai diperlukan perluasan relasi supplier jahe gajah untuk memenuhi kebutuhan bahan baku, peningkatan teknologi agar produksi lebih efektif dan efisien, selain itu juga diperlukan pengembangan sumber daya manusia yang mampu mengelola pemasaran produk secara daring melalui platform e-commerce yang kini tengah marak digunakan oleh berbagai pelaku usaha., The obligation of halal certification for food and beverage products is mentioned at The Law Number 33/2014, Government regulations 31/2019, and The Law Number 11/2020 concerning Halal Products Guarantee. Nowadays, in Indonesia, various micro and small enterprises are emerging, including XYZ. Regarding this, XYZ produces crystallized ginger in Cipanas, Cianjur Regency, in which this crystallized ginger is made from elephant ginger. The aims of this study is to implement halal assurance system and analyze value chain. Production tools for making ginger sweetmeat are still conventional because almost of procedures require human actions. To fulfill the obligation of halal certification for micro and small businesses, SJPH is implemented and five halal criteria are fulfilled. These five halal criteria include commitment and responsibility, materials, product, the process of the halal product, evaluation and monitoring. XYZ registered its halal certification by the self-declare method. This method eases micro and small businesses to apply for halal certification. Furthermore, value chain analysis was conducted to determine activities that can be carried out to enhance the product value. Two value chain activities were conducted following the Porter method, including main activity and supporting activity. The former includes the procurement of raw materials, production, and marketing. Meanwhile, the latter refers to

Judul: The Application of Good Manufacturing Practises and Design of Halal Assurance System Manual at SME’s VRI FOOD
Abstrak: Industri rumah tangga pangan (IRTP) memiliki keterbatasan dalam menghadapi perekonomian global di era perdagangan bebas. IRTP dituntut untuk menghasilkan produk yang bermutu, aman dan berdaya saing tinggi. Pemenuhan izin legal berupa SPP-IRT dan sertifikat halal merupakan salah satu cara agar IRTP mampu memenangkan persaingan pasar dan menjamin keamanan produk yang dihasilkan. Kegiatan penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melakukan evaluasi terhadap pemenuhan kriteria CPPB-IRT termasuk di dalamnya pemenuhan sertifikat penyuluhan keamanan pangan dan label kemasan agar memeroleh SPPIRT serta melakukan implementasi sistem jaminan halal di IRTP VRI FOOD. Kegiatan penelitian ini dibagi menjadi enam tahapan yaitu mengetahui keadaan dan kondisi IRTP VRI FOOD, melakukan perbaikan untuk memenuhi persyaratan CPPB-IRT, melakukan sertifikasi produk minuman jahe instan, menyusun dan mengimplementasikan manual sistem jaminan halal, serta melakukan analisis finansial. Hasil kegiatan penelitian ini menunjukkan IRTP VRI FOOD masuk dalam IRTP level I serta memiliki SPP-IRT dan manual sistem jaminan halal. Selain itu usaha pembuatan jahe instan yang dilakukan oleh IKM VRI FOOD layak untuk dijalankan secara finansial karena nilai NPV (Rp2.223.544)>0, Net B/C (6,09)>1, dan IRR(72%)>DR(14%)., Household Food Industry (IRTP) has limitations in facing the global economy in the era of free trade. IRTPs are required to produce quality, safe, and highly competitive products. Fulfillment of legal permits in the form of SPP-IRT and halal certificates is one way that IRTPs can win the market competition and ensure the safety of the products produced. This research activity aims to evaluate the fulfillment of the CPPB-IRT criteria including the fulfillment of food safety counseling certificates and packaging labels to obtain SPP-IRT and implement a halal guarantee system at IRTP VRI FOOD. This research activity was divided into six stages, namely knowing the state and condition of IRTP VRI FOOD, making improvements to meet CPPB-IRT requirements, certifying instant ginger drink products, compiling and implementing manual halal assurance systems, and conducting financial analysis. The results of this research show that IRTP VRI FOOD is included in the level I IRTP and has an SPP-IRT and manual for the halal assurance system. Also, the instant ginger-making business carried out by IKM VRI FOOD is feasible to run financially because the NPV value (Rp2.223.544)> 0, Net B / C (6,09)> 1, and IRR (72%)> DR (14 %).

Judul: Approximation of the Median of Poisson Distribution Using the Relation of Poisson-Gamma Distribution
Abstrak: A major drawback of median is that median cannot usually be defined in closed form, even in the cases where their distribution functions are known. This study gives an approximation of the closed form for the median of the Poisson distribution by using the relation of Poisson-Gamma distribution. The approximation uses elementary techniques based on the monotonicity of certain sequences involving tail probabilities of the Poisson distribution and the Central Limit Theorem. Furthermore, a closed form expression for the mean absolute deviation 􀜧|􀜰􀰒 􀵆 􀜯􀝁􀝀􁈺􀜰􀰒􁈻| is also studied. The median is relevant because of the fact that it minimizes the mean absolute deviation of a Poisson random variable (􀜰􀰒􁈻 by considering median as central tendency.
