CSA IN JERUKGAMPING VILLAGE: TTG CRACKERS SEPARATION MACHINE TO INCREASE SMI’S PRODUCTION

Abstract

Micro, small, and medium industry (MSMI) is one of the main components for improving the economy of village communities. This existence is expressed by the development of MSMI in rural areas. Most of the MSMIs that are progressing rapidly in business development are MSMIs that operate in various business fields. This condition spurred the village community's confidence to brand their village as a creative MSMI village. Small and medium industry (SMI) with the Cracker Mawar brand is one of the SMIs developing in Jerukgamping Village, Krian District, Sidoarjo Regency, East Java Province. The process of producing crackers from raw materials to finished products takes a minimum of one day and a maximum of two days. This is due to the drying process, which still relies on the hot sun. This traditional production system creates various obstacles in business development, including: (i) the accumulation of crackers that are still stuck to each other; (ii) the production process cannot be completed in one day (exceeds working hours); (iii) the remains of crackers that are still attached; (iv) the production process is not optimal; and (v) the resulting output does not match the input. With the various business development obstacles faced by SMI Cracker Mawar, the Community Service Activity of the Department of Industrial Engineering Team, Faculty of Engineering, Universitas 17 Agustus 1945 Surabaya is to provide assistance in increasing SMI's production capacity with the TTG Cracker Separator Machine at SMI in Jerukgamping Village, Krian District, Sidoarjo Regency. In this way, micro, small, and medium industries (MSMI) as the economic pillars of Jerukgamping Village can develop better so that the welfare of the community will increase.
