In 2018, the Indonesian government launched the Making Indonesia 4.0 Roadmap under The Industrial Revolution 4.0 era. This road map aims to increase industrial competitiveness and make the nation one of the world’s top 10 economies by 2030. The role of the Internet of Things (IoT) in The Industrial Revolution 4.0 is important to improve work efficiency and reduce companies’ costs. Although several manufacturing companies in Indonesia have successfully implemented this technology, so it is important to identify the critical success factors in its application for other companies. Therefore, this study discusses the essential factors of success for implementing IoT in automotive companies in Indonesia, which have differing specific application characteristics from the conditions in other countries. The Delphi method obtained data from 8 dimensions and 32 sub-dimensions. These included the finance, regulatory, people and management, operation, technology, innovation, ideas, and resource dimensions. Other automotive companies can use the results as a reference in implementing IoT and evaluating and improving their business performance, as well as formulating the right strategy to achieve excellence in the long term.
Several state-owned companies (SOEs) have successfully implemented process innovation. This paper examines the success factors that influence the successful implementation of process innovation in Indonesian state-owned companies. The present study used the three stages of an online questionnaire in the Delphi method to obtain consensus from experts. The consensus was measured based on the mean and standard deviation of the assessment answers provided by our respondents. Based on the development of process innovation implementation frameworks shown in previous studies, we obtained 28 factors that influence the successful implementation of process innovation. Our panelists believed that human resources and organizational factors, such as leadership, problem understanding, strategy, and culture, affected the success of process innovation in SOEs, even more than the research and development budget, support, and commitment factor of a given company. Meanwhile, cost efficiency was the main factor driving a company’s motivation to implement process innovation. The success factors in implementing process innovation are an essential consideration for the management of other SOEs eager to improve their company’s innovation performance, especially process innovation. Success factors were carried out comprehensively for all implementation indicators of process innovation, including inputs, process (idea generation, idea selection, and idea implementation), outputs and outcomes, diffusion, culture, strategies, and push and pull factors.
Customers’ needs and wants with regard to dairy products are increasingly diverse, and companies must be able to produce a variety of products. This study aimed to obtain alternative product configurations in accordance with customer requirements and to determine the types of modules required to realize the product by synergizing conjoint analysis and the decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) method. The product configuration was based on pleasurable design consisting of three aspects, namely functionality, usability, and pleasure. Pleasurable design was chosen because it involves the human in the product design as a product user so that the product design is in accordance with customer expectations. The research used the survey method with consumers of ice cream. Descriptive analysis was used to describe the product attributes desired by consumers. Orthogonal design was used to construct alternative product configurations, while the product configuration rank was determined using conjoint analysis. Based on the results of the research, the selected attributes for the functionality aspects were taste and texture, the selected attributes for the usability aspects were shape and packaging materials, and the selected attributes for the pleasure aspects were health benefits and appearance. The orthogonal design results led to 25 alternative product configurations, followed by determination of the ranking of alternative product configurations. Then the DEMATEL method was applied to analyse the relationship between the product configuration attributes to determine the types of modules that must be provided.

The high competition in the food and beverage industry in Indonesia, where packaging has a very important function, with the main function to protect the product, as well as being a factor in attracting consumers' interest in making purchases. Packaging production is dominated by several companies, which when categorized are divided into middle-up manufacturing and middle-low manufacturing. The research is necessary to create an optimal packaging design model by considering the culture and habits of consumer. Capturing customer behavior and costs has a control function. Ethnographic studies are used to explore packaging elements that are important to consumer and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used for data processing. The result provides a conceptual model as well as recommendations for food and beverage manufacturers in terms of the packaging used. Seven elements of packaging that deserve primary attention: design, image, typography, color, size, material and quality. Using habit and cost factors has the control variables, with maximum profit as the objective function. Recommendations for middle-up manufacturing are focused on four packaging elements: design, image, color and quality. It is recommended to maximize strategies for customer retention and improving customer loyalty. Middle-low manufacturing is focused on four packaging elements: color, size, material and quality. It is recommended to maximize strategies to encourage repeat business and boost productivity. The features identified in this research are very possible to be implemented by food and beverage manufacturer, along with recommended strategies. For example, at the middle and low manufacturing level, it is very important to pay attention to product availability in several sizes
Consumers will perceive the impression of professionalism in packaging that the product quality is relatively good. Packaging becomes an aspect that has an essential role for companies to implicitly explain the details of the products to be sold and as the main points that explain how consumers are interested in consuming because of the cognitive transformation process provided by packaging both in terms of color and other features. Packaging has a broader reach than advertising and differentiates it from competitors. Packaging promotes and drives purchasing decisions when purchasing and every time the product is used. Packaging with different sizes can expand a product to new target markets or help overcome cost barriers. This paper discusses packaging and consumer behavior in response to existing packaging. So far, almost all manufacturers when making packaging designs are only based on studies conducted by these manufacturers without any customer involvement. By understanding consumer behavior, it is hoped that in the future the packaging design created will involve consumers by paying attention to the aspects needed and desired by consumers. So that the packaging design that will be produced can further increase the value of the product and increase consumer interest in purchasing a product.
