The Department of Industrial Engineering, Faculty of Industrial Technology, Universitas Islam Indonesia (UII) commemorated its 42nd anniversary on Monday (5/20) at the Auditorium of FTI UII. With the theme “Guyub Rukun Bangun TI, Mugo Berkah lan Barokah”, this commemoration is not just a momentum to look back on achievements. However, it is also to reflect on a long journey full of meaning, relentless dedication, and sincere love for the world of education, especially Indonesian Industrial Engineering. Flashback stories of struggle, hope, and advice from the elders colored the event in the morning.

The recitation of the divine word together was the initial session of this birth day event. Then, the activity session continued with the singing of Indonesia Raya and Hymn UII. Furthermore, there was a speech session by the Dean of the Faculty of Industrial Technology, Prof. Dr. Ir. Hari Purnomo, M.T., IPU, ASEAN.Eng. He told how Industrial Engineering UII struggled to survive with all its limitations. He also expressed his gratitude for all the achievements and advised to always maintain the quality of Industrial Engineering UII as it matures. “I leave a message, 42 years old is an old age, but don’t let our quality be a young quality. Then our quality is an old quality too.” he said.

Furthermore, the Head of Industrial Engineering Department, Dr. Drs. Imam Djati Widodo, M.Eng.Sc., gave a speech by expressing his gratitude to the alumni who have strived for the progress of Industrial Engineering UII.

Industrial Engineering Study Program UII held a monthly webinar with the topic “Best Practice Enhacing Industrial System Through Dynamic Insight A Digital Twin Approach”. The new program, which is planned to be held regularly every month, was held online through Zoom Meeting on (10/5) and was attended by 121 general participants, including participants from outside UII and outside Yogyakarta. This activity tells about the implementation of the digital twin in various sectors of the industrial system. Participants were able to gain a deeper understanding of how the digital twin improves efficiency and effectiveness in the management of industrial systems.

Anisa Nur Aini as the host of the morning program warmly welcomed all participants who attended. She briefly explained the schedule of the event and introduced the moderator who would lead the discussion in this webinar. Then, Didin Dwi Novianto, S.T., M.LSCM., as the moderator gave a little introduction by reading the CVs of the speakers. In addition, he also said that various industries have implemented the digital twin concept, including manufacturing, transportation, healthcare, and reconstruction.

“So, the advantage of this digital twin concept is that it can help increase productivity and reduce costs by providing digital insights and analytics.” he said.

What is Digital Twin?

Furthermore, the core session of the webinar was the delivery of material by Ir. Muhammad Ridwan Andi Purnomo, S.T., M.Sc., Ph.D., IPM., Head of the Industrial Engineering Undergraduate Program. He explained that digital twin is a concept that shows the physical object as a visual representation of the process. Then, continue to simulate in order to improve the physical system. Therefore, when applying the concept, you must understand how to duplicate, make a twin of the physical object, understand what data to extract, and also need any sensors.

“If we talk about industry, it will definitely intersect with the physical system, the factory is also a physical system. So if we look at it, yes, the physical system is taken real-time data, entered into the computer system, meaning the simulation of the physical system, is the twin of the physical system. Then, after the real-time data is retrieved, the decision maker can improve the system in real-time as well,” he explained.

One application of the digital twin is the pick and place system in smart manufacturing. This theory allows the system to be integrated with the database in the marketing department. Its function is to control the movement of the conveyor so that it does not move statically, which sometimes results in overstock or understock. In that case, when demand is high, the speed on the conveyor can increase automatically so that it can produce more. Conversely, when demand is low, the conveyor speed will slow down to adjust the amount of demand. Finally, a Q&A session and group photo session concluded the monthly webinar series.

Industrial Engineering UII is proud to receive an announcement that 6 of its students passed PKM 2024 funding. This success is a clear proof of the dedication and hard work of the students in developing creative and innovative ideas that benefit the community. Program Kreativitas Mahasiswa (PKM) is an event that supports the development of the potential of Indonesian students in applying science and technology for the progress of the nation. This competition is the initial stage towards the Pekan Ilmiah Mahasiswa Nasional (PIMNAS) to compete with other universities for awards and make achievements. Industrial Engineering UII students who passed are divided into 4 groups with 3 different schemes, namely PKM-K, PKM-RE, and PKM-RSH.

One of the students who became the head of the PKM team that passed the funding, Mumtaz Fahd Rifmawan MS., felt overwhelming happiness for this achievement. “I feel very happy and grateful to Allah because this is my first experience to participate in PKM and it immediately passed to the funding stage. I would also like to thank my fellow team members who have struggled together in preparing the proposal,” he said. In order to achieve this achievement, he said not to forget to intend seriously and ask for blessings from parents.

Of course, he hopes and dreams with his team to be able to qualify for PIMNAS. Meanwhile, in the process of preparing the proposal, Mumtaz also received a lot of input to improve the proposal from his supervisor. In fact, thanks to this, his team can be even more active in discussions and brainstorming to get the best solution.

On this occasion, Ir. Ali Parkhan, M.T., expressed his joy for his students’ achievements. “The feeling is like a parent towards their child, if their child has an achievement, they are happy. But actually it is the students themselves who really play a role. Many IE students are already great, not their mentors,” he said. Then, he also hopes that all students who qualify for PKM 2024 funding can return home with a victory medal. This achievement is also an inspiration for other students to continue to develop their potential and creativity. 

Here is the list of students who passed the 2024 Student Creativity Program (PKM) funding:

In order to deepen the practical knowledge about lean, Industrial Engineering of Universitas Islam Indonesia (UII) held another public lecture entitled “Lean/Total Industrial Engineering Basic, Standardized Work & Low Cost (Automation) Improvement”. The event invited an alumni who currently serves as Kakaricho Dept Manufacturing Engineer & TIE at PT Denso Manufacturing Indonesia, namely Nur Kholiq, S.T. The morning activity was held on Saturday (4/5) and took place in Classroom 2.14 FTI UII which was attended by 22 UII Industrial Engineering Students. Nada Putri Fauziyah as the MC began by inviting Putri Dwi Annisa, S.T., M.Sc., Representative of the Industrial Engineering Study Program to describe her remarks. She said that this agenda was a collaboration from last year.

“Well, this year is the continuation. The material will be a little different maybe. Hopefully it can be useful.” he said.

Lean/Total Industrial Engineering Basic

Next, the material was presented by Nur Kholiq, S.T., about the Basic Production System in Automotive, namely the Toyota Production System (TPS) which has 3 pillars in the form of Just In Time, Jidouka, and Abnormality. Toyota Production System (TPS) is a production system that aims to eliminate waste in order to achieve efficiency. This system applies the profit concept of monopoly era, local competition era, and global competition era.

“Pertalite may disappear next month with the existence of Pertamax, will we buy it? We will. Regardless of the price we still buy, that’s the monopoly era. Second, local competition era. So, to increase the profit, we reduce the cost. For example, the price is the same because if the price is not the same, the market people fight. The last one is the global competition era. We lower the cost, increase the profit, but still below the previous price,” he explained.

Then, there is the term Mura Muri Muda, which means that an irregularity will burden a job and causing a waste. This waste is all work that does not value added product. Thus, when there is waste, the resulting production costs are higher.

Standardized Work

The next material is about standardization in a job. Kholiq said that there is written and unwritten standardization. Written standardization is a standard that has been standardized by each company. Meanwhile, unwritten standardization is a standard that has been considered a culture. In addition, there are three important factors in work standards, namely takt time, work order, and standard stock in the process. All three will affect the occurrence of overtime and idle time. 

Low Cost (Automation) Improvement

Finally, there was material on low cost automation using the Karakuri Kaizen concept. Karakuri Kaizen is an approach to material management that utilizes the force of gravity, the use of levers and hinges, and utilizes the principle of inertia to move goods. The advantage of principles from the Land of Sakura can reduce working hours and costs that the company produces. One of the implementations of this concept is in the process of moving empty boxes manually which then changes to utilizing a spring so as to minimize waiting time. Meanwhile, a group photo between the speakers and participants was the closing session of the public lecture agenda on this lean concept.
