Tempeh Agroindustry Procurement Lacks Key Components for Optimal Performance

Jurnal Ilmu Ilmu Agribisnis: Journal of Agribusiness Science · 2018

Key Findings

01Raw material procurement did not meet all six components (time, place, type, quality, quantity, price).
02The tempeh agroindustry was deemed viable due to positive added value and an R/C ratio greater than one.
03A marketing mix (product, price, place, promotion) was utilized.
04Marketing channels included direct sales to consumers and sales to merchants.
05The marketing system was inefficient due to uneven profit margin distribution.

Application

Design takeaway

Implement rigorous supplier vetting and establish clear procurement protocols that strictly define quality, quantity, timing, and pricing to ensure consistent production inputs.

How to apply

When designing a new food product or improving an existing one, thoroughly map out the supply chain for all raw materials, identifying potential bottlenecks and areas for standardization.

Project actions

01When researching a product, consider the entire supply chain, not just the final product.
02Investigate how raw material sourcing impacts the final product's cost and quality.

Method & Evidence

AimTo analyze the procurement process, income, added value, marketing mix, and supporting services of the tempeh agroindustry in Pesawaran District.

MethodSurvey method with qualitative and quantitative descriptive analysis.

ProcedureResearchers surveyed 52 respondents from active tempeh cooperatives in Pesawaran District, collecting data on raw material procurement, income, marketing strategies, and supporting services.

Sample52 respondents

ContextAgroindustry, specifically tempeh production cooperatives.

Variables

IV["Procurement process components (time, place, quality, quantity, type, price)"]

DV["Business viability (income, added value, R/C ratio)","Marketing system efficiency (profit margin distribution)"]

CV["Type of agroindustry (tempeh)","Location (Pesawaran District)","Cooperative type (Primkopti)"]

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

+Addresses multiple facets of the agroindustry's operation.
+Utilizes both qualitative and quantitative analysis.

Limitations

The findings are specific to the tempeh industry in one region and may not apply to all food production or manufacturing sectors.

Reliability & validity

The use of a survey method with descriptive analysis provides a snapshot of the current situation. Reliability could be enhanced by using standardized questionnaires and ensuring consistent data collection. Validity is supported by addressing multiple aspects of the business, but generalizability might be limited by the specific context.

Think critically

How might a design intervention, such as a digital platform for supplier management, address the identified procurement issues and improve the overall efficiency of the tempeh agroindustry?

Design Principles

"Optimize supply chain logistics by defining and enforcing strict parameters for raw material procurement to ensure product quality and cost-effectiveness."

Understanding and optimizing the procurement process is fundamental for any manufacturing or production-based design project. Inefficiencies here directly affect product quality, cost, and ultimately, market competitiveness.

What This Means for Your Design

For businesses making things like tempeh, it's really important to get the ingredients right – the right amount, at the right time, and of the right quality. This study found that tempeh makers weren't always doing this, which makes their business less efficient, even though they were still making a profit.

How to use in your project

1.Reference this study when discussing the importance of robust supply chain management in your design project's context, particularly if your project involves food production or a similar industry.
