Rumpoen business group has a business making herbal powder drinks. The business is growing during the pandemic because herbal drinks can increase endurance. However, making herbal powder drinks requires much energy in the crystallization process. High energy needs affect the determination of product prices. As such, alternative technologies are needed to overcome them. The technology is a biomass stove with the principle of gasification technology that can produce higher heat energy than ordinary stoves. The purpose of this community service activity is to introduce biomass stoves as an alternative technology and biomass pellets made from production dregs waste. Activities were carried out through technology dissemination and presentations and ended with discussions, questions, and answers. Then all participants were asked to fill out a questionnaire to evaluate this community service activity. The evaluation results, related to the service activity's purpose, showed a level of 100%, from which the participants knew and understood the use of biomass stoves and the utilization of dregs waste into biomass pellets. However, the participants' interest in implementing the activity results only reached 60%. Overall, the participants stated that the level of satisfaction with community service activities was 4.8 out of a scale of 5. The participants hoped for more intensive service activities, additional training, and additional equipment assistance.
PT Alis Jaya Ciptatama (AJC) is a company engaged in the furniture industry, where the products are exported. One of the products from PT AJC is a wine bottle rack. In the production of wine bottle racks at PT AJC, many product defects were found. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct further research to determine the quality of the product, so that the correct product quality improvement is obtained. The purpose of this study was to determine the limits of statistical control and the factors causing defects in wine bottle racks so that the quality improvement provided was right on target. The methods used in this research are Statistical Process Control (SPC) and Fuzzy Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (F-FMEA). SPC method is used to determine statistical control limits and factors causing product defects. The F-FMEA method is used to determine the priority of improvement in improving the quality of wine bottle racks. The results of the research related to the statistical control limits of the SPC method were obtained that the defective data were outside the statistical control limits. While the results of research related to the causes of product failure using the SPC method are human, machine, material, environmental, method, and measurement factors. Factors causing product failure were analyzed using the F-FMEA method so that improvement priorities were obtained, namely the lack of experience of workers with an FRPN value of 269.33. Improvements that need to be made by PT AJC include providing training to mill 1 workers and splitting the logs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
