Space Saving

The growth of the property business goes hand in hand with the furnishing industry in Indonesia. The construction of apartments, minimalist houses which adjust to the limitations of land in Indonesia creates changes in furnishing designs which are minimalist, simple, and multifunctional that support, such as space saving models. In Indonesia, many space saving products are introduced by foreign companies such as IKEA and Informa. Function.id is one of the small businesses that has a goal to fulfill the needs of space saving product in Indonesia. With some limitations, Function.id does the production process using the makloon / outsource method. However, because the concepts applied are not standardized and well-structured, instead it creates a problem in the production process. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to identify the problem and to standardize the makloon production process of Function.id to be implemented in Function ART Indonesia. The approach of this research is qualitative with expert interview, then continued to define the production process and communication process of Function.id and its vendor to ease the analysis of this research. After that do a root cause analysis to map the problems of Function.id with ishikawa diagram as a framework. The main causes of problems faced by Function.id are no designer specialist, limited source of vendor, lack of supplier source, having no a precise and measurable product design for vendor, having no clear letter of agreement, unstructured communication process, unstable ordering pattern, and having no standardization guidelines. Solutions and improvements that can be applied to develop Function.id into Function ART Indonesia in its production process are creation of a structured and create an SOP for production process with instruments of communication to vendor and supplier with implementation of heijunka. Also, some requirements that needs to be prepared before the production process could be implemented, such as do a collaboration with designer, design maximizing, letter of agreement and survey for supplier and vendor.

AbstractCurrently, effective quality management of manufactured products is a factor determining the development of manufacturing companies. However, the identification of the source of non-compliance and the analysis of its causes are sometimes underestimated and are not followed by appropriate methodologies. The study aimed to streamline and improve the production process of aluminium pistons for passenger cars by solving the problem related to a significant number of non-compliant products. The analysis of types of nonconformities identified through penetration testing was performed. The use of histogram, brainstorming session and Pareto-Lorenz diagram was proposed, which allowed identifying the causes of the problem. The presented solution shows the practical effectiveness of a sequence of selected instruments to solve production problems. The proposed sequence of methods can be implied in other qualitative analyses in different companies.

Molecular self-assembly is ubiquitous in nature and has emerged as a new approach to produce new materials in chemistry, engineering, nanotechnology, polymer science and materials. Molecular self-assembly has been attracting increasing interest from the scientific community in recent years due to its importance in understanding biology and a variety of diseases at the molecular level. In the last few years, considerable advances have been made in the use ofpeptides as building blocks to produce biological materials for wide range of applications, including fabricating novel supra-molecular structures and scaffolding for tissue repair. The study ofbiological self-assembly systems represents a significant advancement in molecular engineering and is a rapidly growing scientific and engineering field that crosses the boundaries ofexisting disciplines. Many self-assembling systems are rangefrom bi- andtri-block copolymers to DNA structures as well as simple and complex proteins andpeptides. The ultimate goal is to harness molecular self-assembly such that design andcontrol ofbottom-up processes is achieved thereby enabling exploitation of structures developed at the meso- and macro-scopic scale for the purposes oflife and non-life science applications. Such aspirations can be achievedthrough understanding thefundamental principles behind the selforganisation and self-synthesis processes exhibited by biological systems.
