This paper focuses on a multiproject resource allocation problem in a bilevel organization. To solve this problem, a bilevel multiproject resource allocation model under a fuzzy random environment is proposed. Two levels of decision makers are considered in the model. On the upper level, the company manager aims to allocate the company's resources to multiple projects to achieve the lowest cost, which include resource costs and a tardiness penalty. On the lower level, each project manager attempts to schedule their resource-constrained project, with minimization of project duration as the main objective. In contrast to prior studies, uncertainty in resource allocation has been explicitly considered. Specifically, our research uses fuzzy random variables to model uncertain activity durations and resource costs. To search for the optimal solution of the bilevel model, a hybrid algorithm made up of an adaptive particle swarm optimization, an adaptive hybrid genetic algorithm, and a fuzzy random simulation algorithm is also proposed. Finally, the efficiency of the proposed model and algorithm is evaluated through a practical case from an industrial equipment installation company. The results show that the proposed model is efficient in dealing with practical resource allocation problems in a bilevel organization.

Nilai daya saya saing suatu produk merupakan gambaran kemampuan suatu komoditas untuk berkompetisi di pasar. Setiap komoditas yang dijual di pasar, secara natural tentunya harus berdaya saing, baik dibandingkan dengan komoditas sejenis maupun komoditas substitusinya. Ikan lele merupakan salah satu komoditas unggulan bagi program Minapolitan di Kabupaten Bogor, sehingga memiliki nilai strategis bagi pemangku kebijakan di sektor Kelautan dan Perikanan. Hingga saat ini, kajian mikro usaha budidaya ikan lele telah banyak dilakukan, namun analisis daya saing komoditas ini masih terbatas. Oleh karena itu, tulisan ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis daya saing komoditas ikan lele Kabupaten Bogor, menggunakan metode Policy Analysis Matrix (PAM). Lokasi pengumpulan data dilakukan di Kabupaten Bogor, serta Kabupaten Tulungagung – sebagai pesaing utama – untuk melihat nilai ekonomi (harga sosial) dari komoditas lele. Hasil analisis menunjukkan nilai Private Costs Ratio (PCR) sebesar 0,43, Domestic Resource Costs Ratio (DRC) sebesar 0,14, Nominal Protection Coefficient on Tradables Inputs (NPCI) sebesar 1,20 dan Nominal Protection Coefficient on Tradables Inputs (NPCI) sebesar 1,15. Keempat angka tersebut merupakan indikator dari rendahnya daya saing komoditas Lele di Kabupaten Bogor dibandingkan komoditas saingannya yang berasal dari Tulungagung. Dari hasil analisis tersebut, untuk meningkatkan daya saing komoditas ikan lele Kabupaten Bogor maka sangat diperlukan sebuah program peningkatan ketersediaan pakan yang disertai dengan program stabilisasi harga berbagai input produksi.

During the last 10 years a number of articles have been published on the concept of effective protection. Most of them were concerned with theoretical aspects of effective rates of protection (ERPs) in the usual neoclassical framework. There¬fore, practitioners had little help from this literature when they wanted to use the basic ERP formula on a more complex world and with limited data supply. The insufficient discussion on -the empirical problems might be the main reason, ex¬plaining why the results of actual calculations of ERPs are hardly comparable. Anyway, in nearly every empirical investigation that I know of, a different formula has been used [see 1,2,3,5,6,12,14,16,17 and 23]. Because the concept of effective protection has in the meantime been established as a major tool for analyzing the resource allocation of primary factors between industries and the resource costs of producing one unit of domestic currency if output and inputs are valued at free trade prices it would be worth-while to discuss the major empirical problems of ERPs in order to bring about comparability between future results.
