Increased manufacturing activity has an impact on environmental quality degradation. Waste generated from manufacturing activities is one of the causes. Previous studies have referred to this waste as value uncaptured. Minimizing value uncaptured is a solution to improve environmental quality. This study aims to reduce value uncaptured by converting it into value captured. This process requires a value proposition design approach because of its advantages. One of the advantages of this approach is that it can improve existing or future products/services. To do so, this research uses a case study of a furniture company. To implement a converting process, a sustainable business model is proposed to solve this problem. This business model combines several methods: value proposition design, house of value and the product sustainability index matrix. Recently, the existing value proposition problem-solving has been using the value proposition design method. This research proposed implementing a house of value to replace the fitting process. The questionnaire is developed to obtain various value uncaptured in the company. To the weight of the value uncaptured, this research utilized the pairwise comparison method. Then, the weights could represent the importance of jobs. Based on the highest weight of these jobs, the alternative gains would be selected. To provide the weight of the gain creators and value captured, the house of value method is developed. Referring to three pillars of sustainability, the value captured should be considered. This research proposed implementing a product sustainability index which in turn produces eco-friendly products. This study produces “eco-friendly products” as sustainability value captured. The sustainability business model could be an alternative policy to minimize the existence of value uncaptured.

Food safety is an essential aspect of human health. Food processed without paying attention to food safety regulations can harm consumer health. This research aims to 1) identify activities with food safety risks, 2) determine the sequence of food safety risks that will be followed up, and 3) determine appropriate food safety risk mitigation. This research uses the Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) method and fishbone diagrams. A case study was conducted on the Songkem pak Soleh Bangkalan duck supply chain. The research results show that activities that pose a food safety risk include receiving raw materials, storing raw material stocks, using raw materials and BTP, sanitizing production facilities, and storing finished products. The priority order of food safety risks in the Songkem duck supply chain is based on the FMEA method: storage of finished products, sanitation of production facilities, and storage of raw material stocks. Risk mitigation can be done to prevent food safety risks in storing raw material stocks and storing finished products, namely by controlling water activity (aw) and acidity factor (pH); and controlling the room's atmosphere. Meanwhile, to prevent risks due to sanitation hygiene, namely holding training to increase awareness of the importance of sanitation hygiene for restaurant employees monitoring and maintaining sanitation hygiene in the production environment.
Enerji, önemi artan bir kavram olarak yaşamın her alanında yer almaktadır. Enerjinin artan değerine karşın enerji üretiminde kullanılan petrol, kömür vb. yenilenmesi mümkün olmayan kaynaklar azalmaktadır. Bu kaynaklarda yaşanan azalma maliyetlerde artışı ve tükenme riskini, bu etkenler de enerji üretiminde alternatif kaynak olan yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarına olan talebi arttırmaktadır. Bu çalışmada yenilenebilir enerji kullanımının yoksulluk üzerindeki etkileri araştırılmıştır. Bu kapsamda AB ülkelerinin 2007-2020 yılları arasındaki verileri kullanılmıştır. Bu veriler yenilenebilir enerji kullanımının tüm enerji tüketimine oranı, enerji üretim miktarları, hanehalkı elektrik fiyatları, Gini katsayıları ve ekonomik büyüme verileridir. Yenilenebilir enerjinin ve elektrik fiyatlarının gelir dağılımı üzerindeki etkisi için ilk olarak Pesaran CD yatay kesit analizi yapılmıştır. İkinci olarak Breusch-Pagan Heterojenlik testi uygulanmıştır, bu testten sonra CADF birim kök testi uygulanmış ve son olarak Dumitrescu - Hurlin analizi ile incelenmiştir. Sonuçta yatay kesitlerde bir bağlanım sorunu olduğu anlaşılmış, değişkenlerde heterojenliğin mevcut olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Gelir dağılımından elektrik enerjisi fiyatlarına doğru ilişki bulunamamıştır. Yenilenebilir enerji ile gelir dağılımı arasında ise çift yönlü nedensel bir ilişki tespit edilmiştir.
