AbstractIn anti-dumping procedures, the EU authorities have adjusted State-distorted input costs in the constructed normal value to market benchmarks. This methodology increases the amount of anti-dumping duties and hence import barriers to foreign goods produced with low-priced raw materials. Such cost adjustments are based on certain EU anti-dumping provisions that implement corresponding World Trade Organization (WTO) rules under which the cost of input must be derived, as a principle, from the records of target companies in the exporting country if those records, inter alia, reasonably reflect production costs of the product under investigation. But in the case of input costs distorted by the government, the EU authorities have typically deviated from this principle relying on alternative sources on the grounds of unreasonable costs. While the EU jurisprudence has so far been generally lenient towards this methodology as applied to significant distortions in the raw material (upstream) market, the recent WTO appellate ruling in EU–Biodiesel is rather negative on its use in the presence of the valid domestic records. This article examines the EU anti-dumping practice as reviewed in both EU and WTO judicial proceedings and discusses some legislative reforming options under both regimes. It concludes that the WTO anti-dumping rules should be amended to allow market-oriented cost adjustments in the normal value, on the one hand, and ensure parallel export price adjustments, on the other.

ABSTRAK  Kegiatan pengabdian ini bertujuan untuk memberikan pelatihan keterampilan menekan biaya produksi dan meningkatkan pendapatan petani sawi melalui penggunaan pupuk organik cair di Kelurahan Gunung Anyar Tambak Kecamatan Gunung Anyar Kota Surabaya. Pada masa pandemi covid 19 ini pasokan pupuk kimia tersendat dan mengakibatkan harga pupuk semakin mahal. Pada tahun 2010 pemerintah memunculkan wacana global untuk kembali ke alam (back to nature) di sektor pertanian, di antaranya dengan pemanfaatan bahan alam (bahan baku hayati). Untuk itu kegiatan ini memanfaatkan gulma yang terdapat diarea pertanian tumpang sari dimana area pertanian ini terdapat lahan untuk tanaman sawi, jeruk dan jambu kristal namun sebagian lagi merupakan area tambak ikan yang banyak terdapat gulma seperti kangkung liar dan buah yang sudah busuk. Dengan demikian, dilakukan pembuatan pupuk organik cair dengan menambahkan mikro organisme EM4 kepada bahan baku yaitu gulma. Diperoleh hasil bahwa penggunaan pupuk organik cair ini dapat menurunkan biaya produksi dan meningkatkan produktivitas sawi dan hasil pertanian lainnya. Berdasarkan hasil wawancara diperoleh adanya peningkatan pendapatan petani sebesar 22% dari penggunaan pupuk organik cair ini. Luaran dari kegiatan ini adalah produk berupa pupuk organik cair yang dibuat sendiri oleh peserta pelatihan dan meningkatkan motivasi para petani untuk mengembangkan secara mandiri alternatif pupuk organik sesuai dengan kebutuhan. Kata Kunci: Pupuk organik cair, biaya produksi, gulma ABSTRACT This service activity aims to provide skills training to reduce production costs and increase the income of mustard farmers through the use of liquid organic fertilizer in Gunung Anyar Tambak Village, Gunung Anyar District, Surabaya City. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the supply of chemical fertilizers stagnated and resulted in increasingly high fertilizer prices. In 2010 the government raised a global discourse to return to nature (back to nature) in the agricultural sector, including natural materials (biological raw materials). For this reason, this activity utilizes weeds found in the intercropping agricultural area. This agricultural area has land for mustard, citrus, and crystal guava plants but partly is a fish pond area with many weeds such as wild kale and rotten fruit. Thus, a liquid organic fertilizer was made by adding EM4 micro-organisms to the raw material, namely weeds. The results show that liquid organic fertilizer can reduce production costs and increase the productivity of mustard greens and other agricultural products. Based on the interview results, it was found that there was an increase in farmers' income by 22% from the use of this liquid organic fertilizer. The output of this activity is a product in the form of liquid organic fertilizer, which is made by the trainees themselves and increases the motivation of the farmers to develop alternative organic fertilizers according to their needs independently. Keywords: Liquid organic fertilizer, production costs, weeds

Manufacturing of products incurred raw material costs, direct labor costs, and factory overhead   costs, which could be used to determine the price of the product sold.  On the contrary, the company, which manufactured thousands of toys and dolls monthly, did not have proper cost record. Production cost calculated by the average of total cost divided with a total of confirmed product. Hence, the production cost for each product could not be defined precisely. Based on the problems described, a web application was developed to manage the recording of transaction and automatically calculated the cost of production. This application's functionalities were able to manage purchasing activities, handing over raw materials to production, confirming finished goods, calculating production costs, posting journals and ledgers, and reporting of the cost of production. This application could help companies to calculate the unit cost. Based on a comparison between manual and application testing, it could be concluded that output in the application displayed an exact match from the manual. Thus, this web-based application was ready to be implemented in the company.

One of the effort to presence with global competition in the era of the Asean Economic Community (AEC) in 2015, making it the various parties, both government, private, and Small and Medium Industries (SMEs) to compete with products made in ASEAN countries. One of the things that can be done is to make the efficiency of the production costs. For that, we need a production planning and control are very closely related to the raw material. The presence of raw materials becomes important because if there is a shortage of raw materials, will inhibit the production process. If the stock overload can make an effect on the cost savings that can increase the cost of the company. IKM DM is one of the industry that concerned to the manufacture of clothing garment, especially to the shorts. The Problems that are often faced by SMEs is the frequent occurrence both in the warehouse overstock raw materials and finished goods warehouse. It is necessary for research in determining the amount of raw materials in the warehouse, so that capital is not held long. This study only focus to three kinds of pants that has all size model, big size type, and type pants buckle. The purpose of this study is predicting the number of requests using the ARIMA period of 3 months in April, May, and June 2014; planned economic order quantity and raw material ordering schedule using the EOQ method. The study also discusses the raw materials inventory system either periodically or in a perpetual; and ends with the calculation of the limitations of the warehouse. Forecasting pants all size in April, May and June respectively 30 840, 31 962, and 32 357 pieces; the big size pants are 8.645,8.782, and 8782; and the buckle pants are 4,960, 4,980, and 4,980 pieces.

For the calculation of the limitations vast storehouse of raw materials needed 4 shelves for storage of accessories with a total area of 107m2, with a total of 144m2 warehouse area.Keywords: Forecasting, inventory , EOQ, Periodic and PerpetualAbstract Upaya menghadapi persaingan global di era Asean Economic Community (AEC) di tahun 2015, membuat berbagai pihak baik itu pemerintah, swasta, maupun Industri Kecil Menengah (IKM) untuk bersaing dengan produk buatan negara ASEAN. Salah satu hal yang dapat dilakukan adalah melakukan efisiensi dari sisi biaya produksi. Untuk itu, diperlukan suatu perencanaan dan pengendalian produksi yang sangat berkaitan erat dengan bahan baku. Keberadaan bahan baku menjadi hal yang penting dikarenakan jika terjadi kekurangan bahan baku, akan menghambat proses produksi. Jika berlebih maka berpengaruh pada biaya simpan yang meningkatkan biaya perusahaan. IKM DM merupakan salah satu industri yang bergerak di bidang garmen khususnya dalam pembuatan pakaian kantor. Masalah yang kerap dihadapi oleh IKM adalah sering terjadinya overstock baik itu di gudang bahan baku, maupun gudang barang jadi. Untuk itu perlu dilakukan penelitian dalam menentukan jumlah bahan baku yang ada di gudang, agar modal tidak tertahan lama. Penelitian ini hanya meneliti celana kantoran tipe all size, big size, dan celana kantor tipe gesper. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah meramalkan jumlah permintaan menggunakan metode ARIMA periode 3 bulan mendatang pada bulan April, Mei, dan Juni; merencanakan jumlah pemesanan ekonomis dan menjadwalkan pemesanan bahan baku menggunakan metode EOQ. Penelitian juga membahas tentang sistem persediaan bahan baku baik secara periodik maupun secara perpetual; dan diakhiri dengan perhitungan keterbatasan gudang. Peramalan celana all size pada bulan April, Mei dan Juni berturut-turut adalah 30.840, 31.962, dan 32.357 potong; pada celana big size adalah 8.645,8.782, dan 8.782; dan pada celana gesper adalah 4.960, 4.980, dan 4.980 potong. Adapun jumlah pemesanan bahan baku ekonomis pada kain polly celana all size, gesper, dan big size sebesar 45.562 yard; 17.684; dan 25.534 yard.
