Characteristic of Small Scale Food Industry Cluster in West Sumatera

Small scale food industries are identical with labor intensive, low efficiency, and bad housekeeping. It needs specific improvement of performance related to their raw material characteristics as agricultural commodities. The study was conducted to improve the performance of small cracker industry through improved plant layout. It was done by considering the material flow, relationship between activities, food safety, equipment and workers' allowances, space utilization. Plant layout modification improves the small scale cracker industry in terms of material flow, the risk of contamination, space utilization, work safety, and energy for material handling.

Systematic Layout Planning

In the food industry competition in Indonesia, Big Boy Bakery which is a small-scale food industry competes with the food industry both small and large scale. This pressured Big Boy Bakery to continue to grow both in increasing the quality and quantity of production. One method that will be used is planning the layout of facilities at the production site so that it becomes the basis for consideration of the placement of important elements in the design of the construction of future production sites. Facility layout is carried out because there are differences in the distance between production operations and other production operations which cause inefficiencies in productivity. In this problem approach the method used in Big Boy Bakery layout planning is the Systematic Layout Planning (SLP) method. The function of SLP is to improve the layout of Big Boy Bakery, by finding alternatives that have been considered with important elements in production operations that have been taken into account at either the level of interaction, or other needs. Placement of important elements such as proper production operations, will reduce travel costs, and waste time, so that the planned layout can provide increased productivity efficiency. With the proposed spatial planning made, it is hoped that it can make a significant contribution to the development of Big Boy Bakery.

Hierarchy Process

The industrial sector in Bantul, Yogyakarta potential is still dominated by small industries. There are lack of synergy between many parties, both government and private sectors in developing and empowering small businesses making it difficult to achieve the goal of creating small businesses are resilient and competitive. Thus, the need for a study of alternative priority needs of small industries which results can be used as a reference in formulating policy of development of the small industry. This analysis is used to make decisions effective output over the decision making process. The main tools Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a functional hierarchy with the main input of human perception. By hierarchy, a complex and unstructured problems solved in their groups, and the groups are arranged into a hierarchy form. Small industries were chosen as research sample includes melinjo chips industry, rice crackers industry, bakery industry, peyek cracker industry, and snack food industry. Food industries are scattered in the district of Bantul, Yogyakarta Province. The result was two things: (1) the ineffectiveness of the direction of development; (2) the lack of a uniform indicators of success, because each agency builder seeks to pursue the goals and targets in accordance with the criteria that they have set themselves. Factors that influence the activity / operating a small food industry in order are processes, products, labor, and then raw materials. The need for an industrial to an alternative support is the cornerstone of determining the appropriate policy applied to each different industries. Priority factors in every industry are factors that influence the selection of alternatives that may need assistance in the form of training, equipment, technical, capital and then marketing.Keywords: Analytical Hierarchy Process, Policy making, Small Scale Food industries

It is possible to use co-fermentation to increase biogas production considerably in digesters with free capacity. Also, the energy production increases by increasing biogas production. Many co-substrates such as energy crops, biodegradable waste from the food industry, restaurants and public parks, etc. are on the market. Water consumption is decreasing because of population movement and a decreasing population size because of a drop in the birth rate. Therefore, capacities in digesters will increase and new uses for this capacity are needed. Co-fermentation could be one solution. Useful co-substrates should be identified by material characteristics. It is important to assess suitability of materials for fermentation in small-scale tests, and to gain experience particularly with regard to the handling, the compatibility of the biocoenosis in the digester and the effects of returning effluent to the activated sludge process. A test period with fat separator contents has started at the wastewater treatment plant, Waßmannsdorf, Germany. Biogas production and methane content increased compared to the reference cascade without co-substrate input.

Use Of Resources

Globalization has led to a new paradigm where the traditional industries, such as agriculture, employ vanguard technologies to broaden its possibilities into what is known as smart farming and the agri-food industry 4.0. This industry needs to adapt to the current market through an efficient use of resources while being environmentally friendly. The most commonly used approaches for analyzing efficiency and sustainability on farms are production efficiency based analyses, such as Data Envelopment Analysis and Stochastic Frontier Analysis, since they allow to see how efficient the outputs are generated regardless of the units of measurement of the inputs. This work presents a real scenario for making farms more profitable and sustainable through the analysis of the Data Envelopment Analysis and the application of the Internet of Things and Edge Computing. What makes this model interesting is that it allows monitoring the ambient conditions with real-time data from the different sensors that have been installed on the farm, minimizing costs and gaining robustness in the transmission of the data to the cloud with Edge Computing, and then to have a complete overview in terms of monthly resource efficiency through the Data Envelopment Analysis. The results show that including the costs of edge and non-edge data transfer have an impact on the efficiency. This small-scale study set the basis for a future test with many farms simultaneously.

This study wants to develop the cluster-based food and beverage industry value chain that corresponds to the potential in the regions in Java Economic Corridor. Targeted research: a description of SME development strategies that have been implemented, composed, and can be applied to an SME cluster development strategy of food and beverage, as well as a proven implementation strategy of SME cluster development of food and beverage. To achieve these objectives, implemented descriptive methods, techniques of data collection through surveys, analysis desk, and the FGD. The data will be analyzed with descriptive statistics. Results of study on PT KML and 46 units of food and drink SMEs in Malang shows that the condition of the SME food-beverage cluster is: not formal, and still as the center. As for the condition of the existence of information technology: the majority of SMEs do not have the PC and only 11% who have it, of which only 23% have a PC that has an internet connection, as well as PC ownership is mostly just used for administration, with WORD and EXCEL programs, and only 4% (1 unit SMEs) who use the internet marketing media.
