Aplikasi Sistem Informasi Manajemen pada Usaha Peternakan (Studi Kasus: Kelompok Tani Serambi Mekah Padang Panjang)

Abstract

Science and technology for society have been made in Serambi Mekah farmer groups with the aim to improving the managerial capacity of the business with the help of Management Information Systems (MIS PENDAHULUANKota Padang Panjang merupakan daerah sentra peternakan sapi perah di Sumatera Barat dengan populasi sapi perah mencapai 1.602 ekor (BPS, 2010). Usaha peternakan sapi perah di daerah ini pada umumnya masih bersifat usaha keluarga dengan manajerial sederhana dari modal keluarga dan sebagian telah memanfaatkan sumber permodalan dari bank. Usaha peternakan sapi perah merupakan usaha padat modal dengan melibatkan banyak komponen sub sistem mulai dari pengadaan bahan baku, proses produksi, penjualan produk dan tenaga kerja sehingga perlu dikelola dengan menajemen yang baik.Permasalahan umum dalam kegiatan bisnis sapi perah di daerah ini adalah masih lemahnya kegiatan pembukuan dan pengelolaan sumberdaya informasi. Pembukuan hanya dilakukan secara sederhana oleh peternak dengan mencatat pembelian sarana produksi, penjualan susu, pembayaran gaji, catatan hutang dan piutang, namun tidak diiringi dengan analisis hingga menjadi informasi yang berguna untuk mendukung keputusan manajer/pengusaha. Informasi merupakan salah satu sumber daya penting dalam manajemen moderen, banyak keputusan strategis yang bergantung

Socio-technical Approach to Agricultural Information Systems Development

“…Some of the LiMaS infrastructure has been cloud-based computing that can be accessed anywhere and anytime [4], [6]. In Indonesia the development of LiMaS was carried out as a prototype to support poultry farming [7]- [9], dairy farming [10], enclosure mapping based on geographical information system [11], beef distribution supply chain management [12] and livestock disease inspection information system [13]. Almost all existing publications are still based on prototype testing, there is no indication as product research and implementation.…”

“…Studies related to the development of livestock information systems are still relatively new. Some literature develops systems ranging from PC-based applications using simple databases such as Microsoft Access [5], [10], clientserver based [17], web-based [12], [13], [18], [19], based on mobile applications [20], based on cloud computing [4], [6]. All papers that focus on aspects of prototype development have no indication of how far this system is used in real farms.…”

“…Most of the references focus on livestock cultivation management to facilitate the introduction of livestock. The system developed by Fitrianti almost covers all aspects of agribusiness including input (preproduction), cultivation and output (marketing) [10]. Ismail and Ismail develops information systems for livestock cultivation that include aspects of breeding, feeding, dairying and slaughtering [5].…”

“…Technological developments have encouraged LIMAS development efforts that are integrated with various supporting technologies such as RFID for animal identification, sensors for health monitoring, scales, robotic devices for cow milking purposes. Only a small part of the paper focuses on developing a stand-alone database [10]. Most papers report developed systems integrated with RFID [4]- [6], [17], [19], [20].…”
