Metode model bisnis kanvas digunakan untuk memetakan kondisi usaha Mandala Presto, diikuti oleh analisis deskriptif dan kuantitatif yang terdiri dari matriks internal factor evaluation (IFE), matriks external factor evaluation (EFE), matriks internal-external (IE), matriks strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT), dan analytical hierarchy process (AHP) untuk perbaikan model bisnis. Hasil perhitungan IFE adalah 3,32 dan hasil perhitungan EFE adalah 2,79, yang dipetakan dalam matriks IE di sel IV, menunjukkan bahwa Mandala Presto berada pada posisi tumbuh dan berkembang. Penentuan strategi prioritas dengan AHP berfokus pada empat unsur model bisnis kanvas, yaitu mitra kunci, aktivitas kunci, saluran, dan sumber daya kunci., Mandala Presto is one of the milkfish processing businesses in Bogor Regency. The business started producing soft-boned milkfish without packaging in 2011.

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.
