Judul: Model Development in Performance Assesment of Stearic cid Industry from Palm Oil
Abstrak: Oleochemical supply to China, especially from Indonesia and Malaysia is very big, about 500 000 ton a year, 90% of the supply is stearic acid (Cham & Purwoko). The other stearic acid importir country are Europe Union and United States of America. This sector is a big opportunity for agroindustry company, especially export oriented industry. The hard competition in this sector pushes every industry do some continuous improvement, so that the output of product has competitive quality. Continuous improvement can be realized when the companies evaluate their performances. The evaluation process needs enormous resource which is the main problem for industry in Indonesia, esspecially oleochemical industry. The performance assesment system is developed by designing an assesment model, using system approach. The object of observation in this performance assesment, i.e. man, market, money, machine, material, method, market, management & environment. The assesment interval is based on expert justification, technical standard and literature study. The model will give assesment from each criterias and conclude the assesment through simple weighting from some criterias quantitatively and qualitatively. The result of research is performance assesment model of stearic acid industry which implemented into application program called SPIAS 1.0. The program has verified base on company annual report and the result has shown that PT. X has ‘average’ performance. Hopefully this program can help company to do self rapid assesment more efficient, so the company could do some continuous improvement.

Judul: Model Penilaian Cepat (Rapid Asessment) Kinerja Industri Kelapa sawit
Abstrak: Palm oil is one of the commodity that has relatively high economically values in the world. Since 1990, supply and demand for palm oil relatively increased. The world palm oil production growth of the world during this two decades has reached 7.3% per years. This production growth is influenced by Indonesian and Malaysian palm oil production that contributed around 80% of the world production. ndonesian palm oil production could have been influenced by several factors, such as the palm oil factory production capacity or the production process performances. Self asessment from the palm oil plant need for determined the improvement strategy process performance. The purpose of this study is to developed aplicative software that could be used for assesing the palm oil industrial performance in a relatively rapid time.

Infeksinya dapat mengenai anjing semua umur yang belum pernah terinfeksi atau mendapatkan vaksinasi mengakibatkan gejala klinis ringan yang terbatas pada traktus respirasi atu infeksi yang secara klinis tidak memperlihatkan gejala nyata. Gejala klinis yang nampak setelah masa inkubasi (1-5 hari) terlewati berupa batuk yang tidak berat selama beberapa hari, berbagai tingkat tonsilitis dan pharyngitis dan kadang-kadang ditemukan kenaikan temperatur rektal antara 1-2 derajat C dari temperatur normal rat-rata. Anjing terinfeksi mengandung virus pada traktus respirasi bagian atas dan bawah serta limfonoduli sampai hari ke 9 setelah infeksi. Penyebaran virus antar anjing terjadi secara aerogen.
