Judul: Improving the Business Process for Acquisition of New BRILink Bank BRI Agents
Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis proses bisnis akuisisi agen baru BRILink existing, menganalisis permasalahan PPBK (Petugas Penunjang Bisnis Keagenan), dan merumuskan solusi perbaikan proses bisnis akuisisi agen baru BRILink. Penelitian dilakukan pada Mei-Juni 2024. Pengambilan data dilakukan melalui in-depth interview kepada 5 orang responden. Analisis pada dilakukan menggunakan framework design thinking. Proses bisnis terdiri dari 3 tahapan utama yaitu proses pendaftaran melalui aplikasi BRILink Mobile, proses tindak lanjut kunjungan oleh PPBK, serta Proses penilaian dan input data calon agen. Berdasarkan empathy map yang dibuat, beberapa permasalahan pengalaman PPBK yang didapatkan antara lain banyaknya proses manual yang seharusnya dapat didigitalisasi, tidak adanya pra penilaian kepada calon agen, banyaknya data fiktif yang masuk, dan waktu kunjungan yang kurang efisien. Berdasarkan analisis yang dilakukan melalui tahap define dan ideate, maka disusun 10 ide utama perbaikan proses yang utamanya berfokus pada penambahan input data BRILink Mobile, Integrasi data pendaftaran dan skema pembuatan PKS (Perjanjian Kerja Sama) digital, membuat pra-penilaian calon agen, serta membuat chatbot WA untuk konfirmasi kebenaran data yang didaftarkan. Solusi tersebut kemudian diimplementasikan dalam prototype yang berupa perbaikan diagram proses bisnis akuisisi agen baru BRILink, prototype perbaikan aplikasi BRILink mobile, prototype perbaikan dan optimalisasi fungsi BSS (BRILink Supporty System), serta prototype chatbot WA., This study aims to analyze the business processes for acquiring new BRILink agents, identify BRI PPBK’s (Agency Business Support Officer), and propose solutions to improve the business process. The study was conducted from May to June 2024. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 5 respondents. Data were analyzed using the Design Thinking Framework. The business process consists of three main stages: the registration process via the BRILink Mobile application, the follow-up visits by PPBK, also the assessment and data entry process. The Empathy Map identified several of PPBK’s experience’s problems, including numerous manual processes that should be digitized, the absence of pre-assessment for prospective agents, a high volume of fictitious data, and inefficient visit times. Based on the analysis conducted during the define and ideate stages, ten main ideas proposed for improving the business process. These ideas primarily focused on enhancing BRILink Mobile data input, integrating registration data, creating a digital PKS (Cooperation Agreement) scheme, developing a pre-assessment for prospective agents, and implementing a WA chatbot to verify registered data. The proposed solutions were then implemented in prototypes, which included improvements to the business process diagram for new BRILink agent acquisition, enhancements to the BRILink Mobile application, optimizations of BSS (BRILink Support System) functions, and the development of a WA chatbot prototype.

Judul: Pengaruh Optimalisasi Pengelolaan Transaksi Finansial terhadap Pencapaian Penerimaan Pendapatan yang Dimediasi Oleh Fee Based Income BRILink
Abstrak: Beberapa tahun terakhir, industri perbankan mengalami tantangan yang besar yaitu pendapatan bunga yang tidak stabil. Selain itu, tren suku bunga rendah menyebabkan margin bunga bersih perbankan ikut menurun. Bank perlu mempertimbangkan pendapatan alternatif di luar pendapatan bunga. Jika bank ingin mempertahankan tingkat keuntungannya, sumber pendapatan selain pendapatan dari bunga pinjaman harus diintensifkan melalui fee based income. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui jumlah agen, CASA, agen jawara juragan, dan agen BEP yang mempengaruhi transaksi keuangan BRILink, transaksi keuangan yang mempengaruhi fee based income BRILink, dan implikasi penerimaan pendapatan yang dipengaruhi fee based income BRILink. Penelitian ini menggunakan data sekunder yaitu variabel jumlah agen, CASA, agen jawara juragan, agen BEP, transaksi keuangan, fee based income (FBI), dan penerimaan pendapatan. Penelitian ini mengambil 35 sampel kantor cabang BRI Regional Office Jakarta 3. Data dianalisis menggunakan Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) yang diolah melalui Smart PLS 4.0. Penelitian dilakukan pada bulan April hingga Juni 2023. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dari variabel jumlah agen, CASA, agen jawara juragan, dan agen BEP, hanya jumlah agen yang berpengaruh signifikan terhadap transaksi keuangan BRILink. Transaksi keuangan BRILink berpengaruh signifikan terhadap fee based income BRILink. Fee based income BRILink berpengaruh signifikan terhadap penerimaan pendapatan. Beberapa hal yang dapat direkomendasikan berdasarkan implikasi manajerial yaitu BRI dapat meningkatkan jumlah agen BRILink yang aktif agar agen BRILink bisa melakukan transaksi BRILink. Jumlah agen bisa ditingkatkan dengan beberapa cara seperti membuat berbagai program akuisisi agen BRILink, melakukan sosialisasi kepada agen BRILink secara rutin, meningkatkan inovasi fitur-fitur BRILink, dan mengintegrasikan dengan platform selain BRILink yang dapat membentuk close ecosystem sehingga berdampak terhadap transaksi BRILink dan berimplikasi terhadap fee based income BRILink dan penerimaan pendapatan BRI.

Judul: Thermal Characteristics and Dynamics of Tropical Cyclone over Western North Pacific Ocean: A Case Study of Typhoon Songda (Chedeng) 2011
Abstrak: The frequent occasion of Tropical Cyclone (TC) over Western North Pacific (WNP) Ocean lies from 10˚N to 26˚N and 121˚E to 170˚E. Sources of TC development come from warm ocean temperature where latent heat is released during condensation processes and subsequently concentrated in the boundary layer. Relative humidity at 850-700 hPa is responsible to produce the most intense storm. Meanwhile, weak vertical wind shear between 850-200 hPa is one of the dynamical factors that lead to the development of TC. Pressure level of 850-200 hPa is chosen to minimize the thermodynamic effect in the lower troposphere. Typhoon Songda (Chedeng in the Philippines) or TSC lasted from May 18th to 30th, 2011 and strengthened into powerful Super Typhoon stage between May 24th and 27th. Long curving track and the exhibition of all sequences of TC life cycle, TSC is then considered as an ideal case of TC. The objective of the study with case of TSC is to investigate the role of thermal characteristics and dynamics on TC intensity. The research is carried out by using Advanced Research of Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF ARW model) version 3.3. Two domains are employed in the model. The first domain situate from 02˚N to 40˚N and 118˚E to 149˚E and cover spatial resolution () of 33.1 km. The second domain situate from 09˚N to 27˚N and 119˚E to 132˚E with of 11 km. Timestep of the model () is 120 seconds. The model is supported by the following physical parameterization, i.e., Yonsei University Scheme (YSU) in the boundary layer, Kain-Fritsch scheme (KF) in the cumulus, and WRF Single-Moment 3-class scheme in the microphysics. Initial meteorological condition prior to the formation of the cyclone is generated using WRF ARW standard-release model. Sensitivity of the model output is obtained from a selected single-parameter change scenarios, namely, 10 % to 20 % decrease and increase of wind shear initial data at 850-200 hPa, and by 10 % to 20 % decrease of relative humidity initial data at 850-700 hPa. The result showed that the negative correlations between wind shear and intensity are found in wind shear scenarios. Wind shears of 10 ms-1 which lead to strengthening of the wind intensity in the early period of Typhoon development are found in wind shear scenarios. The effect of wind shear changes on wind intensity is statistically significant in the 20 % wind shear scenarios. During mature stage, weak wind intensity occurred when wind shear increase as given in the WRF standard-release and the 20 % decreasing scenario. Different situation is found in the 20 % increasing scenario where wind shear tend to weak and lead to strong wind intensity at this stage. Meanwhile, the reduction of moisture supply at 850-700 hPa resulting from 20 % decreasing relative humidity play a major role in the weakening of wind intensity and reduces mechanical energy of the cycle process as much as 300 J kg-1.
