ANALISIS PENGENDALIAN MUTU DALAM MENINGKATKAN PROSES PRODUKSI

This research is motivated by the still not optimal quality control in the production of Nata De Coco which can be seen from the decrease in customer satisfaction, namely the reduced demand for products from consumers, this is thought to be caused by the not optimal implementation of quality control carried out by the company. The research method used in this study is a qualitative descriptive research method. Based on the results of the study that: 1) The implementation of quality control at the Nata De Coco Factory Bojongmengger Ciamis has been carried out quite well in accordance with the indicators that have been set in this study, namely performance, features, reliability, conformance, durability, service ability, aesthetics and quality which shows that it is quite good; 2) The production process at the Nata De Coco Factory Bojongmengger Ciamis is generally good because it is in accordance with the indicators that have been set in this study, which include the production schedule, production sequence and production time which show that it is good; 3) The implementation of quality control plays a role in improving the production process at the Nata De Coco Factory Bojongmengger Ciamis. It can be seen that with the implementation of quality control which is already quite good, it has an impact on increasing the production process at the Nata De Coco Factory in Bojongmengger Ciamis. Thus, if the implementation of quality control is good, the company's production process will increase.

Production sequence of Anagasta kuehniella and Trichogramma species.

This chapter provides a technical guide for rearing Anagasta kuehniella [Ephestia kuehniella] for Trichogramma production. Optimal container capacity, inactivation of A. kuehniella embryos, thermal conditions, exploitation time of adult and egg collection trays, rearing problems, and storage and transport were discussed.

Split-based points from the Swabian Jura highlight Aurignacian regional signatures

The systematic use of antlers and other osseous materials by modern humans marks a set of cultural and technological innovations in the early Upper Paleolithic, as is seen most clearly in the Aurignacian. Split-based points, which are one of the most common osseous tools, are present throughout most regions where the Aurignacian is documented. Using results from recent and ongoing excavations at Geißenklösterle, Hohle Fels and Vogelherd, we nearly tripled the sample of split-based points from 31 to 87 specimens, and thereby enhance our understanding of the technological economy surrounding the production of osseous tools. Aurignacian people of the Swabian Jura typically left spit-based points at sites that appear to be base camps rich with numerous examples of personal ornaments, figurative art, symbolic imagery, and musical instruments. The artifact assemblages from SW Germany highlight a production sequence that resembles that of SW France and Cantabria, except for the absence of tongued pieces. Our study documents the life histories of osseous tools and demonstrates templates for manufacture, use, recycling, and discard of these archetypal artifacts from the Aurignacian. The study also underlines the diversified repertoire of modern humans in cultural and technological realms highlighting their adaptive capabilities.

Technological Analysis and Source Provenance of Obsidian Artifacts from a Sun Pyramid Substructure Cache, Teotihuacan, Mexico

The following report provides new data on a Sun Pyramid cache excavated by René Millon in 1959, including confirmation that the cache was associated with a substructure. A technological analysis illustrates the anthropomorphic eccentric production sequence, and indicates that the miniature projectile points were produced from debitage from multiple reduction technologies. All obsidian artifacts were attributed to the Otumba source area via energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF). In addition to providing data on the production of obsidian implements for ritual deposits, we suggest that the cache may be a representation of scaffold sacrifice.

Ceramic analysis in Greece

Scientific, analytical or ‘archaeometric’ techniques for investigating ceramic material have been used within archaeology for over 50 years and now constitute an indispensable tool for archaeologists in the Aegean world (see Jones 1986 for a detailed summary of early work in Greece and Italy) and beyond (Santacreu 2014). This paper provides a brief historical overview of research themes investigated by ceramic analysis in Greek archaeology along with reports on a small number of recent studies, in order to demonstrate current methodologies and results. The narrative is not chronological, either by the date of analysis or the material analysed, but instead focuses on the types of archaeological questions that ancient ceramic analysis can address in order to shed light upon who produced, distributed and consumed the ceramics under consideration. Ceramic analysis investigates both the composition and technology of fired clay vessels, evidenced most frequently in the ubiquitous broken pot sherd, which can then be used to identify provenance, production sequence and cultural tradition, as well as to provide a relative date for production, in combination with typological and seriation techniques.
