THE COMPARISON OF VIKOR AND MAUT METHODS IN THE SELECTION OF USED CARS

A used car is a car that has been used by other people. Choosing a used car according to the needs of the buyer is very much a consideration. Used car buyers, of course, make their choices based on several criteria. The criteria for choosing a used car include transmission, price, passenger capacity, luggage capacity, year of manufacture, color, and engine capacity. These criteria are the buyer's consideration in choosing a used car because it is not easy for those who do not understand the criteria for choosing a used car. A decision Support System is a solution in choosing a used car according to buyer needs. Decision Support Systems have many methods, and the methods used in this study are the VIKOR and MAUT methods. Problems can be solved by using a weighting ranking system. So that buyers can choose a used car based on recommendations from the Decision Support System. This research is expected to help prospective buyers in choosing a used car according to their desired needs.

Re-dispatch and Application of FACTs for Transactions Allocation in Deregulated Electricity Markets

In the current scenario, transmission cost allocation is one of the significant difficulties arises due to the expansion in power exchanges in transmission open access looked by electric energy area. The proposed method calculates transmission cost allocation by considering bilateral & multilateral transactions. The transmission cost allocation approach in the proposed method derives from equivalent bilateral which states that a small amount of every generator provides with each request in consistently and separated manner. The influence of power flow in network via all lines due to a transaction is measured by power flow solution. This paper discusses the congestion problem in the deregulated electricity market using an optimal power flow (OPF). The transmission lines are uncongested using re-dispatch method and then taxes are calculated for the establishment of the flexible A.C. transmission systems (FACTS) devices in the transmission network to reduce taxes. The excellent location of FACTS device can be identified by the bus on which highest T. The result indicates that the combination of TCSC and SVC incredibly discount the measure of re-dispatched power which provides optimal operating point nearer to the market settlement. Hence, TCSC and SVC gives convenient option to block the execution of transmission estimation utilizing approaches and calculate the transmission price.

ANALISIS EFISIENSI PEMASARAN AGROINDUSTRI KLANTING DI KECAMATAN NEGERI KATON KABUPATEN PESAWARAN

This research aims to know how much income of producer of klanting agroindustry, marketing channels, and the efficiency of klanting agroindustry marketing at Karang Rejo Village, Negeri Katon Subdistrict, Pesawaran Regency, and Lampung Province. The research is conducted by a survey method. The total of respondents is 32 producers and 146 merchants. The research data was collected in December 2016 until March 2017 and analyzed by descriptive qualitative and quantitative. The result showed that the amount of klanting agroindustry producers’ income was Rp2,018,932.67/month with R/C 1.38 on cash and Rp1,649,645.49 /month with R/C 1.29 on total cost. It meant that the klanting agroindustry was feasible to be run. In addition, there were four kinds of marketing channels on klanting agroindustry at Karang Rejo Village. Marketing system of klanting agroindustry was still not efficient, because the value of elasticity transmission price was less than one.Key words: agroindustry, efficiency, klanting, marketing
