Analyzing Humanitarian Logistic Coordination for Disaster Relief in Indonesia

Humanitarian logistics have been given an attention in recent years since logistic is one of important factors in effective disaster response and disaster relief. There are few researches on humanitarian logistic in Indonesia. In this paper, we aim to map and analyze humanitarian logistic in Indonesia. Therefore, deep interview method has been done to interview some institutions in humanitarian logistic system. We analyze the coordination of humanitarian logistic system using RASIC method. The finding of the deep interview reveals the private sector actively participates in disaster relief. In particular, it is also found the private sector actively participates in disaster relief but they do not collaborate with BNPB. It can be concluded the private sectors are able to take on the role in Indonesia humanitarian logistic system under supervision of BNPB. We finally proposed the RASIC model involving the private sector for Indonesia humanitarian logistic.

Desigining an Integrated Product and Process Layout Using a Simulation: The Case of Plastic Bag Company

This paper proposed an integrated product and process layout for optimizing process plant layout using a simulation approach. The proposed layout was compared to the existing layout in terms of the average work-in-process and the average waiting time of work-in-process. Currently, the plastic bag company uses process layout for its production facility layout and the activity of material movement is conducted in a batch fashion. In the proposed layout, product layout was utilized for two of six processes and process layout was utilized for the rest. Product layout changed material movement from batch into one piece flow with material handling conveyor. Software ProModel 7.0 was run in 1 year run-time with 10 replications. The simulation results show that the proposed layout reduces the average work-in-process and work-in-process waiting time in warehouse inspection by 97.92% and 96.82%, respectively. The proposed layout eliminates 47.42 minutes of the average waiting time in welding cutting temporary storage area.
