Abstract

Batik is officially confirmed as a list of intangible cultural herritage. Batik is a creative product that is made using traditional tools. Along with the development of technology, the inhibiting factor of the development of written batik emerged, namely the printing / stamp batik produced using semi-automatic tools, so that the batik that still uses traditional tools and takes a long time to produce causes many batik artisans to switch to production process that uses more modern tools to speed up the production process. The problem experienced by batik artisans is how the production process can be simplified, because with the characteristics of the results of batik that still provide a better market opportunity, so a solution is needed to overcome it. The solution offered to partners is to make improvements to the production process by redesigning batik equipment including the stove and stove cover. This aims to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of batik production on partners.

Designing Simulation to Improve Production Efficiency of Batik Industry

“…Scenario improvement in this research is limited to the resources and capabilities of the SME. Since SME has limited resources, tools, lack organizational management, poor in business activity development and limited cost (Jakaria et al, 2018). It is possible for further research to evaluate the batik production system for several SMEs with simulation.…”

“…The majority of batik enterprises are Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) that employ the traditional production process. They have limited employees, a lack of capital, limited equipment, and inadequate business activity development (Jakaria et al, 2018). They also lack access and innovation capacity due to resource constraints, marketing constraints, and economies of scale limits (Iriani & Priyanto, 2013; Kurniati & Prajanti, 2018).…”

Empowerment Management Model of Batik Craftsman Entrepreneurship Development

“…According to Ngatindriatun et al, (2014) and Jakaria et al (2018) there are still many batik craftsmen who use synthetic dyes instead of using natural dyes, so they are still protecting the environment, especially rivers. Protecting and preserving the environment so that it is not damaged as a result of synthetic coloring in batik production is a form of local wisdom.…”
