National Monthly Webinar: Circular Product Design in Recent Advancements

The UII FTI Industrial Engineering Study Program hosted another National Monthly Webinar on Friday (02/8). The fourth national webinar, titled “Circular Product Design: Principles and Recent Advances,” featured Sri Indrawati, S.T., M.Eng., as the guest speaker. The webinar focused on the ideas and characteristics of circular product design for a more sustainable future. The event was attended by 62 people online via Zoom Meeting, including UII Industrial Engineering academics and members of the general public. Nada Putri Fauziyah, the MC, began the webinar series at 09:00 WIB. Furthermore, the moderator, Sayyidah Maulidatul Afraah, S.T., M.T., provided a quick introduction by reading the speakers’ CVs before starting the material session.

In her presentation, Sri Indrawati explained that the concept of circular economy emerged as a response to many issues raised by the linear economy’s “take, make, dispose” model. These issues encouraged the development of the circular economy, an economic model that promotes a wiser and more sustainable approach by reducing consumption while increasing resource reuse. 

“In this way, we can ensure that future generations still have access to the same wealth of resources,” she said. Sri Indrawati also explained how the circular economy changes the economic paradigm to “make, use, recycle.”

Furthermore, she mentioned that Circular Product Design is the process of designing products that can operate constantly in a closed cycle. It aims to increase the product’s life cycle by reducing waste and returning raw materials and components into the system as new resources. A product is considered circular if it can keep its value throughout its life cycle and fits certain characteristics, such as being reusable, recyclable, remanufactured, refurbished, or including recycled materials. Circular products that already exist in society include products without packaging, recharging stations, and MUD Jeans, a fashion brand that offers jeans made from 40% fabric waste.

Circular Product Design

In the end, she noted that research on circular products would continue to grow, as the three main strategies of circular products—slowing, closing, narrowing—can increase the potential of achieving the SDGs. The development of circular product innovation must continue in order to create economic opportunities and a more sustainable as well as better future. She hopes that the circular product principle will be developed not only theoretically, but also practically. The moderator wrapped up the webinar with a Q&A session about circular products that are already available in society.

Discussion of UII Industrial Engineering Curriculum Transformation

Industrial Engineering Study Program of Universitas Islam Indonesia (UII) recently held a discussion on (6/7) with various stakeholders to formulate curriculum changes. The Head of the Undergraduate Program, Ir. Muhammad Ridwan Andi Purnomo, S.T., M.Sc., Ph.D., IPM, led the discussion with the Head of the Curriculum Team, Dr. Harwati, S.T., M.T., and team members Wahyudhi Sutrisno, S.T., M.M., M.T. and Danang Setiawan, S.T., M.T.. Chairman of IKATI (Industrial Engineering Alumni Family Association) UII, Agham Satria Pristiwaji and several alumni were also present to provide input.

“We think that our graduates will be used for industry. Therefore, we need input from the industry,” said Ir. Muhammad Ridwan Andi Purnomo. 

For this reason, a meeting with alumni was held to get various inputs on how the curriculum should be designed. The curriculum team has prepared an initial draft which will then be refined based on input from industry and alumni. “Our alumni profile is not only in one sector, such as the manufacturing industry, services, government, consultants, and even entrepreneurs,” he added. The discussion brought together all these elements to provide comprehensive input. 

Curriculum Keywords

Various inputs from the discussion will then be summarized into keywords that will animate the course design in each semester. One of the potential keywords is the ability of students to convey ideas effectively. “Industrial Engineering students must be able to integrate the system as a whole and convey the integration idea well,” he said. Therefore, the future curriculum may provide more opportunities for students to convey ideas through presentations that are also assessed from the media used. 

The next potential keyword was feedback on the importance of IT skills, especially mastery of Microsoft Excel. Therefore, we are planning a new elective course, Spreadsheet Modeling. “Modeling industrial cases using Excel. How to understand cases, which parameters are decision variables, and use Excel tools,” he explained.

UII Industrial Engineering Study Program hopes to produce a curriculum that is relevant, adaptive, and provides added value to all related parties.

Traffic Culture of Countries in Different Parts of the World

Taiwan

Then, entering the second session, namely the keynote session delivered by several speakers from various parts of the world with moderator Rurry Patradhiani. Fietyata Yudha, S.Kom., M.Kom., who came from National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, Taiwan explained about the traffic system in Taiwan related to regulations, types of vehicles, and how law enforcement there. “When you are riding a bicycle and there is a pedestrian going through the crosswalk, then you have to wait for the pedestrian to cross first,” he explained. Therefore, a rider should always prioritize pedestrians when on the road.

Florida

Afterwards, the second speaker, Rian Adam Rajagede, S.Kom., M.Cs., from the University of Central Florida, USA shared how the driving culture in Florida strongly emphasizes two important rules, namely stopping at intersections and respecting other drivers on the road. Almost every intersection has a stop sign and drivers are required to slow down to a stop, not just slow down. This also applies even if there is an intersection that does not have a sign, “If there is no sign to stop, the default rule still applies. So, you must stop before entering the intersection.” he said.

Australia

On that occasion, Ir. Muhammad Ragil Suryoputro, S.T., M.Sc., IPM from the University of Wollongong, Australia who also provided experience about the country’s traffic culture. He said that the government wants to realize the transportation strategy of New South Wales, Australia aims to achieve zero fatalities and serious injuries by 2050. “We have Vision Zero targets for 2050, which are safe speeds, limits for speeding areas, promoting safe behavior, and also safe systems.” he said.

Norway

Afterwards, Ir. Andrie Pasca Hendradewa, S.T., M.T., IPM from Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway said that the country’s biggest challenge is not the population, but the weather or winter because snow is very disruptive to traffic. Road snow is very dangerous for drivers so the government is always working on cleaning and salting to keep the roads safe. In addition, people also use special tires to prevent slipping while driving. “So, usually people have to change their tires to a type of winter tire that has a lot of spikes.” he explained.

Japan

Meanwhile, Galang Prihadi Mahardhika, S.Kom., M.Kom., from Ibaraki University, Japan talked about 3Es or Traffic Safety System. “So for information, 3Es stands for engineering, enforcement, and education, one of several approaches that can be used to develop traffic safety.” he said. Examples of the application of engineering can be in the form of road improvements, enforcement in the form of sanctions for traffic violators, and education in the form of road safety campaigns.

The last keynote speaker, Ir. Ahmad Padhil, ST, MT, IPM, ASEAN Eng from Universitas Islam Indonesia, Indonesia, talked about ways to avoid traffic accidents. It starts with identifying the factors that cause incidents, such as lack of regulations, lack of facilities, lack of awareness, and especially lack of compliance. “If someone has awareness but does not comply, there are regulations, there are facilities, it will not work. Traffic compliance refers to the act of following traffic rules and regulations set by the relevant authorities.” he said.

 

Drowsiness Detector for Driving Safety

The last session was an explanation of the research of Zainudin Zukhri, S.T., MIT and Kholid Haryono, S.T., M.Kom., from the Islamic University of Indonesia, Indonesia regarding the creation of drowsiness detectors due to the many accidents that occur due to microsleep. The implementation of drowsiness detection technology and supporting traffic regulations can help reduce road accidents. “There are four expectations from the drowsiness detector. First, it warns drivers about drowsiness and the risk of microsleep, helps avoid accidents caused by fatigue, gives other drivers the opportunity to avoid collisions, and forces drivers to take the best action.” he explained. Afterwards, a question and answer session with all the speakers was held to finalize the international webinar on increasing driving awareness and safety.

Furthermore, the handover of souvenirs and documentation with the participants.

Session 1: Building Culture to Increase Productivity in Mining Contractor Industry Challenges

Maintaining Work Productivity Amidst Modern Challenges in the Mining Industry

In this first session, Hendra Maraden, S.Psi, from the Recruitment & Selection Head will present Building Culture to Increase Productivity in Mining Contractor Industry Challenges. In the mining sector, the company has become the largest production mining contractor in the world that produces more than one billion BCM (Bank Cubic Meter). With the increasing prospects of this company, PT Pamapersada is more selective in managing human resources by paying attention to the company’s system.  Realizing that people come and go, the company built an integrated system, “To be a big company, besides people, we must have a strong system. It must be systematized because people come and go, but the system must keep running” he said. To increase the productivity of its employees, the company is digitizing, namely the PAMA Integrated System which provides the needs of workers.

That way, PT Pamapersada Nusantara proves its productivity by moving forward from what was previously only a heavy equipment rental business to a mining contractor that has been integrated with various operating points. Not only in terms of improved systems, but the company also opens space for employees to develop, such as holding hobby clubs and receiving constructive suggestions for the company. Then, the moderator gave directions to enter the question and answer session.

Session 2: Flow of Recruitment Process in Mining Companies

Pembahasan Produktivitas Kerja

Next, Arika Zulfitri Karim, S.Psi, from the Recruitment & Selection Analyst field, explained the flow of the recruitment process at PT Pamapersada Nusantara. The company supports its employees to work productively and innovatively with synergy between employees and management. With the number of employees reaching 30 thousand, the company continues to improve its functions. The recruitment team is actively looking for the best seeds to maintain the company’s value. “Well, before PAMA people are finally productive, we must first look for people whose DNA is the same as PAMA. Therefore, we recruit ourselves who ultimately have to look for people like that where we have our own criteria,” he said. 

He also advised potential applicants to understand the essence of the company before applying. Arika explained that the flow of the application process at PT Pamapersada is different for D3 and S1, and mentioned the preparation and qualifications required by applicants.

Session 3: Seven Tools and New Seven Tools

Then, Bambang Suratno, MT, ST, Ph.D., as a lecturer from the Industrial Engineering Study Programme started the third session which will review academic perspectives on increasing productivity with Seven Tools and New Seven Tools. The digitalisation carried out by PT Pamapersada Nusantara requires the concept of supporting tools in analyzing related data. Seven Tools are statistical equipment used to solve work problems and seek improvements in work results and processes that are usually needed. Then, he explained that understanding seven tools can help adjust which tools are right for ideas in problem solving. Then there are the New Seven Tools that are commonly used for office management, such as analyzing risks in companies.

He said that these two methods complement each other, ‘So, the two Seven Tools complement each other, which initially (Old Seven Tools) was used more for production related to numerical data. If the new one (New Seven Tools) is to the upper management problem,’ he explained.  Furthermore, it was explained that in its use, the latest Seven Tools were used at the beginning of the research, then numerical data was sought using the old Seven Tools. 

The third session ended after a short question and answer session from the participants to the speakers and continued with the closing of this seminar series by the MC. From this meeting, it is hoped that it can increase the productivity of UII students, as well as add insight to participants and help prepare themselves for a better work environment.

ERP Talks 2024: ERP Integration

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Laboratory, Industrial Engineering UII held their annual agenda, ERP Talks on Tuesday (16/6). This year’s event was themed “Exploring the Integration Between Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Corporate Management in Multinational Company”. The activity took place online through Zoom Meeting and was attended by 104 participants.

Inggil Tahta and Vira Dwi as MCs opened the series of events in the morning by reciting basmalah and reading the program schedule. Next, the coordinator of the ERP Laboratory Assistant, Muhammad Zidan Al-Fachri gave his speech. He hoped that this activity could be an opportunity to understand how important ERP science is. “After we have practiced for 6 months, we want to give feedback. Actually what is the future function of what you have done in practicum, how important ERP is in the future world of work,” he said.

Danang ERP Talks

Furthermore, there were remarks by the Head of the ERP Laboratory, Danang Setiawan, S.T., M.T. “ERP Talks is a routine forum of the ERP Laboratory. Usually we invite UII Industrial Engineering alumni who have careers in the ERP field to attend as speakers,” he said.

Tita Safira as the moderator directly guided the material delivery session. Hibatul Wafi Abrar, who is an alumnus of Industrial Engineering UII, was the guest speaker at the event that day. He is currently a Platform Experience Associate at Accenture.

ERP Benefits

“In my opinion, the benefits of ERP are only two, the most impactful. First, Integration & Efficiency, then second, Business Development,” he said.

In Integration & Efficiency, we can see Indomaret as an example. Indomaret’s ERP integrates various business functions for operational efficiency. When a customer buys chocolate, the POS system records the purchase and updates the inventory stock. If the stock is running low, the ERP gives a notification for procurement. These transactions are recorded in the financials in real-time. ERP enables reporting and analytics that help management in decision-making, ensuring a balance between demand and inventory and optimal customer service.

ERP Talks 2024

Next, in Business Development. There are three things that can be highlighted about why ERP affects Business Development. First, ERP helps in real time and insight. The more data you have, you can know what is happening in the field or company. Second, streamlined operations, which is about efficiency and integration. Third, enhance collaboration between divisions. A good ERP system will greatly support companies that want to grow. 

After the presentation of the material was completed, ERP Talks was finalized with a discussion and Q&A session.

Industrial Engineering UII Conducts Fire Safety Training

Fire Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Training is one of the training programs that aims to provide students with the knowledge and skills to manage fire risks in industrial work environments. Therefore, Industrial Engineering Study Program, Faculty of Industrial Technology, Universitas Islam Indonesia (UII) in collaboration with Campus Facilities Manager of the Waqf Board Foundation of Universitas Islam Indonesia (PFK YBW UII) and CV. Segala Safety Yogyakarta conducted training for students of batch 2022. The program was held on (15/7) in the courtyard near Ki Bagoes Hadikoesoemo Sports Building (GOR). On this occasion, Chancard Basumerda, S.T., M.Sc., as one of the OHS lecturers accompanied the event.

An introduction to fire and various types of extinguishers was the beginning of this fire OHS training event. Then, the main activity in the training was a simulation of extinguishing a fire using a wet cloth, fire extinguisher, and hydrant. In this activity, the students actively participated in demonstrating how to extinguish the fire properly. The training simulation needs to pay attention to the direction of the wind on the drum that has caught fire.

Next, the resource person from CV. Segala Safety Yogyakarta explained about the types of fire extinguishers (APAR) and their size variations. In this OHS fire training, students use the type of CO2 or carbon dioxide extinguisher and dry powder extinguisher with sizes ranging from 3 kg to 6 kg. In addition, the resource person also explained that there is maintenance for fire extinguishers, one of which is to shake the fire extinguisher once a while.

Furthermore, students also simulated fire extinguishing using hydrants in the courtyard of GOR UII. In the fire safety training, the speaker introduced two types of fire hoses, namely red hose and white hose. This color variation occurs due to differences in the materials they are made of, the white hose is made of burlap sacks and the red hose is made of rubber. With the implementation of this fire safety training program, it is hoped that students can utilize the knowledge and skills they have gained to maintain the safety of themselves and others in the work environment.
