A Framework for Evaluating Information Transparency in Supply Chains

Private, public, profit, and non-profit organizations, and society as a whole currently face a significant reliable information necessity problem. Especially supply chains need trustworthy information to perform their activities successfully. This study aims to propose a framework and identify how reliability of information can be evaluated and measured through the concept of transparency. In this context, dimensions such as; comprehensiveness, regularity, timeliness, content, scope, and user-friendliness are the pillars of the proposed framework. Selected criteria have been used as inputs to develop the information transparency level. The Fuzzy Analytic Network Process (ANP) is used to obtain weights of these inputs, and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is used for the determination of the efficiency ranking for transparency. Results demonstrated that Content, Scope and Comprehensiveness dimensions have 75% impact on the transparency of data. Remaining 25 percent is affected by Timeliness, Regularity and User-friendliness.

RANCANG BANGUN SISTEM PENDUKUNG KEPUTUSAN MENENTUKAN KANDIDAT CALON KEPALA DESA DENGAN METODE FANP BERBASIS WEB

Metode Fuzzy Analytic Network Process (FANP) dapat dijadikan sebagai alat bantu dalam menentukan kandidat calon kepala desa dengan adanya data kuantitatif serta adanya tingkat validitas konsistensi network, sehingga dapat menentukan kandidat yang akan diikutkan dalam pemilihan kepala desa nantinya. Sehingga pendaftaran kandidat tidak perlu dibatasi karena nantinya akan ada sistem seleksi 5 peserta kandidat dengan nilai tertinggi. Hasil pembobotan antar kriteria dapat dijadikan sebagai rekomendasi alternatif, dalam hal ini nilai pembobotan kriteria yang tertinggi adalah uji Tes Kompetensi, yaitu (43%) dan yang lainnya Karir Organisasi (28%), Forum Group Diskusi (17%) dan Tingkat Pendidikan (11%). Sehingga uji Tes Kompetensi faktor penentu dalam penilaian tertinggi bagi peserta kandidat calon kepala desa. Didalam merancang Aplikasi system Menentukan kandidat calon kepala Desa berbasis web dapat bekerja dengan baik sehingga diharapkan dapat meningkatkan pelayanan dalam mekanisme proses pendaftaran atau penerimaan kandidat calon kepala desa yang dilaksanakan. Dengan adanya aplikasi ini diharapkan pada informasi yang telah dihasilkan adalah hasil yang sebenar-benarnya agar penerima informasi memiliki rasa nilai kepercayaan akan halnya transparan data yang telah dibuka secara luas oleh masyarakat desa.

Integration of Lean Approach with Energy Efficiency: Application in Kitchenware Manufacturing Company

Energy efficiency in the industries is one of the leading problems of the 21st century. The main aim for the companies to deal with the energy efficiency paradigm is to save the resources in the manufacturing operations. Manufacturing opera-tions involve activities that creates wastes in any case; therefore, these wastes should be eliminated, or minimized as much as possible. In this paper, it is aimed to integrate the energy efficiency term with lean management principles. The barriers and the drivers of the energy efficiency was discussed, and the 8 wastes within lean perspective were translated into ener-gy counterparts. 8 wastes of lean approach were defined as energy efficiency perspective, and used as criteria. The study will reveal the important criteria using Fuzzy Analytic Network Process (Fuzzy ANP) method to make implications about how to eliminate these wastes.
