Application of AHP and PESTEL-SWOT Analysis on The Study of Military Amphibious Aircraft Acquisition Decision Making in Indonesia

Indonesia’s characteristics as an archipelagic state along with the increase of traditional and non-traditional threats in Indonesia require the ownership of military amphibious aircraft to oversee its maritime territories and perform logistics distribution to remote areas with minimum accessibility, especially its outermost islands. This study applied a combination of analytic hierarchy process (AHP), Political, Economic, Social, Techonology, Environment, and Legal (PESTEL) and Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, and Threat (SWOT) analysis to conduct a structured, systematic, measurable, and comprehensive decision-making process for selecting military amphibious aircraft and prescribe strategic recommendations on the acquisition plan. By using 3 criteria, 14 sub-criteria, and 3 alternative aircraft models, the results of AHP analysis showed that the Beriev Be-200 aircraft are the most preferred aircraft by the Indonesian users. The results of PESTEL-SWOT analysis show that good diplomatic relations between Indonesia and the manufacturer’s country of origin, users’ support to the plan, and user’s ability to adapt in operating and maintaining the aircraft support this decision. Meanwhile, limited fiscal capacity and domestic aircraft maintenance facilities/depots, as well as the risk of spare parts scarcity, have to be addressed for Indonesia to acquire its own military amphibious aircrafts.

MRO Spare Parts Management and Inventory Optimization

In this chapter, considering the importance of spare parts inventory management in the equipment life cycle, the excellence models in spare parts supply chain management are reviewed, and MRO-MMM framework based on the MMM maintenance excellence model will be presented in eight steps. In this comprehensive framework, all necessary actions are considered in terms of maintenance excellence, improvement, and optimization spare parts management. The steps include compiling strategies, spare parts management policies, and related indicators; determining criticality, classification, and spare parts data management; data and procedure preparation for analysis of inventory management; optimization of inventory management system; supplier management; integrity of automation and information system; continuous improvement; and risk based and smarting inventory management. This framework has been used in various industries and proved that the implementation of the MRO-MMM framework will optimize and significantly improve spare parts management.

V-Locate: Development of Web-Based Vulcanizing Shop Locator for 2nd District of Oriental Mindoro

Purpose–When traveling, getting a punctured tire is a common and inevitable problem that makesa vulcanizing shopbusinessindemand in the province. Vulcanizing shop repairs flat tires and sells a typical car and motorcycle needs.However, this small business was not tagged in the known navigation application.Thus, theproponents conceptualizeda Web-based application locatingthe nearest vulcanizing shops and motorcycle spare partsstores. The V-locate will not justprovidethe nearest shops and stores but also theinformation like theofferedproducts and services. The scope of the map on the said application is only limited to the areas within the 2ndDistrict of Oriental Mindoro.Method–The methodology used in development is Rapid Application Development (RAD),suitable for creating active phase software applications. To get the exact coordinates of every vulcanizing shop and spare parts store, the proponents used Geographical Positioning System (GPS) application. Several scripting languages,such asPHP and JavaScript, and theirframework and library, are used to develop the app.Results–The system was evaluated by 60 respondents consisting of faculty, drivers, and Rider's Club members conforming to ISO 25010 software quality standards. Theevaluation resultgot4.4for functional suitability, 4.4 for usability, 4.5 for security, and 4.3 for Performance Efficiency,which shows that the system is efficient and feasible for implementation.Conclusion–The vulcanizing shop in a province like Oriental Mindoro is ofgreat help to travelers when they meet unexpectedemergencies likehaving a flat tire. With that said, the development of the V-Locate application is essential for travelers in case they encounter such a mishap. Recommendations–For further improvement of the system, it is recommended to conduct beta testing and another evaluation using the remaining criteria of ISO 25010. Also,it is crucial towiden the scope of the map and make it offline.Research Implications–Once the system isfully implemented, it will ease the burden oftravelers in Oriental Mindoro to find repair shops in case of an emergency. Moreover, it also promotes and recognizes the existence of vulcanizing shops as a local business in the province.
