Graphene with its exceptional properties in particular the mechanical ones: strength and flexibility, has been found potentially applicable to improve performance of composite materials. Graphene composites is expected to be lighter yet provide more strength, much stronger than steel. This meets the growing demand in the automotive sector which requires lightweight as well as energy efficient and safe vehicles (EESVs) in order to reduce CO2 emission and achieve more fuel economy of the vehicles. Hence, it is suggested to be applied in structural applications for automobiles. However, its scalability for massive production scale is still under investigation. It encounters challenges such as high manufacturing cost, feasible fabrication techniques, as well as safety issues. This study elaborates further the industrial perspectives on the implementation of graphene composites in automotive industry. The analysis in this study emphasises on three different aspects of innovation management: business ecosystem, PESTEL analysis, and scenario planning. The results of this study reveal key partners as well as potential competitors from the insights of business ecosystem, and two major concerns from PESTEL analysis and scenario planning: sustainable supply chains and quality of the graphene composites.
Masyarakat Aceh dikenal sebagai penikmat kopi. Salah satu keunggulan penyajian kopi aceh adalah proses racikan yang dilakukan secara tradisional menggunakan tenaga manusia dengan penyeduhan 5-7 kali penyaringan. Proses penyeduhan ini diyakini mempengaruhi kualitas rasa yang ditawarkan, semakin tinggi saringan yang diangkat, maka akan semakin nikmat. Diketahui bahwa pekerja pada Warung Kopi Zakir dapat menyajikan rata-rata sebanyak 270-320 cangkir kopi sehari. Postur kerja pada proses penyaringan kopi dilakukan dengan 4-5 kali pengulangan dengan beban yang diangkat > 3 kg dengan posisi kerja berdiri. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisa risiko pekerjaan yang mempengaruhi keluhan muskuloskeletal dan memberikan saran perbaikan berupa rancangan alat bantu yang mungkin untuk diadakan oleh perusahaan untuk tetap menjaga produktivitas para pekerja. Data dalam penelitian diambil dari 5 warung Kopi Zakir Aceh dengan 10 tenaga penyeduh kopi. Metode yang digunakan adalah Rapid Upper Limb Assestment untuk menilai postur kerja dan menginvestigasi gangguan pada anggota tubuh bagian atas. Metode kedua adalah Nordic Body Map untuk mengetahui bagian-bagian otot yang mengalami keluhan. Alat bantu penelitian berupa roll meter, kamera digital, dan stopwatch. Hasil dari penelitian adalah analisa 3 postur kerja dimana postur kerja 1 berada pada skala tindakan 4 untuk anggota tubuh sebelah kanan dan kiri, postur kerja 2 dan 3 berada pada skala tindakan 3 dan 4 untuk anggota tubuh sebelah kanan dan kiri. Saran yang diusulkan untuk mengurangi keluhan pada pekerja adalah dengan rancangan alat bantu yang dapat melakukan gerakan seperti postur kerja sebelumnya. Dimensi utama alat bantu yang dihasilkan didasarkan pada dimensi tubuh pekerja yang digunakan dalam proses penyeduhan kopi, yaitu telapak tangan 9,6 cm dan lebar telapak kaki 11,6 cm.

One of the advantages of serving Aceh coffee is the traditional blend process using human labor. Aceh coffee brewing is made manually brewing 5-7 times. This brewing process is believed to affect the quality of taste offered, where the higher the filter is removed, the better the quality of the coffee will be. It is known that workers at Zakir Coffee Shop can make an average of 270-320 Aceh filter coffee cups a day. Work posture in this process is carried out with 4-5 repetitions with a load of> 3 kg by standing position. The data in the study were taken from 5 Zakir Aceh coffee shops with 10 respondents. The method used is the Rapid Upper Limb Assessment, that used to assess work posture and investigate disorders of the upper limbs. The second is the Nordic Body Map (NBM), to find out the parts of the muscles that are experiencing complaints. The research aids used are roll meter, digital camera, and stopwatch. The result of this research is an a...
Alue Naga Village in Banda Aceh City is a village that has a river and is directly adjacent to the sea, so this village has the potential to produce oysters. Oyster shell waste is usually dumped on the banks of the river, into the river, or thrown back into the oyster farm. This results in land and water pollution. This pollution can cause rivers to become shallow; if this continues, it can result in natural disasters such as floods. Therefore, Therefore, this service aims to provide education and training related to oyster shell waste into something more valuable. This activity also involved CV. Natural Aceh Food is a forum for the community to market its products. The production process required ±5 minutes to grind 8 kilos of oyster shells and produce 7.7 kilos of oyster shell powder. Overall, the specific target achieved from this service activity is the packaged oyster shell powder to reduce oyster waste and empower the female oyster farmers in Alue Naga Village to earn additional income.
Indonesia is a region that has the largest Muslim population in the world. It is a promising market opportunity to develop the Indonesian Islamic capital market. This study aims to analyze public company performance in determining the quality of sharia stocks. This study used the secondary data in historical data, namely the annual financial statements in 2017 and 2018. Meanwhile, the sample used in this study is 30 sharia stock issuers registered in the Jakarta Islamic Index. The analytical method used is the Piotroski F-Score. The study results found that there are four sharia stocks with perfect financial conditions, twenty five sharia stocks with moderate financial conditions, and one sharia stock whose financial conditions were relatively weak. This study also shows that the Piotroski F-Score method can identify Islamic stocks' quality in the Indonesian capital market.
This study aims to analyse the actual business process applied in the Capital Investment Agency and One-Stop Licensing Centre of Aceh Province, mainly on issuing a fishery business permit. The institution has established 240 working hours (equivalent to 14,400 minutes) to issue the permit based on the SOP (standard operating procedures). However, a field observation showed that the actual process time exceed up to 600 hours (equivalent to 37,104 minutes). To investigate the gap and analyse the business process activities, this study employs Business Process Improvement (BPI) which consists of phase 1: organizing for improvement, phase 2: understanding the process, and phase 3: streamlining. This study occupies Bizagi Modeler to build and simulate a systematic business process model according to Business Process Modelling and Notation (BPMN). Based on the simulation process, the actual business process resulted 110 activities with total time 37,104 minutes, while the redesign model resulted 72 activities with total time 197.25 working hours (equivalent to 11,835 minutes). The redesign model further measured using devil’s quadrangle and obtained 68.11% efficiency. The efficiency aligns with better flexibility and service quality improvement.
