This study aims to develop a tailored Quality Management System (QMS) model for SMEs in the food sector, acknowledging their limited resources, the complexity of existing quality standards, and the pressing need for a contextualized, practical framework. The research adopts the Framework for Analysis, Comparison, and Testing of Standards (FACTS), comprising three main stages: a systematic review of relevant literature, expert validation through panel discussions, and preliminary field testing involving selected food SMEs. The study proposes a seven-variable QMS model designed around the PDCA cycle. The variables include leadership, philosophy-based, strategic planning, customers, quality infrastructure, quality assurance, and performance assessment. Empirical findings suggest that the model aligns well with the operational realities and strategic needs of food SMEs. It is perceived as user-friendly, adaptable, and feasible for stepwise implementation, without requiring substantial investment or intensive external support. Validation through field implementation revealed strong acceptance among SME practitioners and stakeholders. The proposed model offers a practical roadmap for food SMEs to establish an internal quality system that is both adaptive to their unique contexts and measurable in its outcomes.

Graphical Abstract Highlight Research 1. Develops an ecosystem-based model to enhance SME fish processing performance. 2. Applies the Delphi method with multi-sectoral expert consensus. 3. Identifies ten strategic priorities, with certification as the key enabler. 4. Provides a systemic framework aligning institutions, markets, and regulation to improve sustainability and innovation in Indonesia’s fish processing sector. Abstract This study examines how institutional, market, technological, regulatory, and human capital issues impact the performance of Small and Medium Enterprise Fish Processing Units (SME-FPUs), specifically in Indonesia. The study's goal is to provide an ecosystem-based model for improving the performance of SME-FPUs by combining essential institutional, market, and technology components. Thirteen multi-sectoral experts from government, business, academia, and certification organizations were consulted for the study using the Delphi technique. Strategic variables for model building were identified and prioritized using the expert's insights. Ten strategic priorities were determined by the analysis. These priorities included business licensing facilitation, raw material supply assurance, cold chain infrastructure development, managerial and technical competency capacity building, quality certification promotion, and consumer awareness campaigns. These goals were incorporated into a systemic model that places certification as the primary facilitator in a framework that is favorable to consumers, organizations, and regulations. Study adds to the theoretical conversation by presenting a comprehensive and adaptive ecosystem model that goes beyond reductionist or linear frameworks. In practice, it provides a practical blueprint for governments, development agencies, and industry players to create coherent and sustainable solutions. More study is needed to experimentally evaluate the model's applicability across various geographic settings and sectors of the blue economy.

This study aimed to develop a safety design framework for short shelf-life food products using HACCP and FMEA methods. This framework is divided into four main stages. The first stage involves identifying the condition of the business premises to obtain an overview and gather information about the production process. The second stage focuses on collecting primary data regarding potential hazards in the production process and determining critical control points (CCP) based on HACCP principles 1-3. In the third stage, the identified potential hazards are controlled at the critical control points. The final stage involves prioritizing the CCPs using the FMEA method through the calculation of the Risk Priority Number (RPN) score. A trial of the proposed framework has been conducted on an SME that produces wet noodles. The results showed that the potential hazard of wet noodle production process comes from biological, chemical, and physical contaminants. Potential food safety hazards that are significant and become CCP based on the prioritized Risk Priority Number (RPN) are the packaging process (RPN: 144), steaming process (RPN: 60), and storage process (RPN: 36). Under conditions in which the control of hazards cannot be carried out at once, then priority controls may be carried out using this sequence. This research focuses on determining CCPs and prioritizing strategies to control these hazards through FMEA. This is especially important for SMEs with limited resources to control all CCPs. The balance between available resources, processes, and results from managing risks is important and ideal for SMEs.

One of the objectives of implementing standardization and conformity assessment (SCA) activities is to increase the certainty, smoothness, and efficiency of trade in goods and services between countries within the framework of international trade. The purpose of this study is to determine the role of applying standard and conformity assessment in international trade. The research method used in this study uses a descriptive exploratory approach to describe the role of implementation of standard and conformity assessment in international trade of Indonesia. Primary data collection in this study uses a direct survey method to 42 companies that implement standards and export with a questionnaire tool. Based on the results of the study, all respondents applied standards as meeting buyer requirements and regulations, quality assurance, and enhancing product competitiveness. Product testing carried out in laboratories accredited by the National Accreditation Committee (KAN) provides trust and mutual recognition of test results between countries.

Purpose: This study’s main objective is to explore the ISO 9001 implementation model and identify a future research agenda. This is important because not all organizations find it easy to implement ISO 9001, and not all organizations get positive benefits after implementing it.Design/methodology/approach: The paper presents a comprehensive review of the literature on ISO 9001 implementation models using the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews (PRISMA) methodology to systematically review the existing literature on ISO 9001 implementation models. Relevant studies published from 2003 to early 2023 are explored to reveal the research landscape, gaps and trends.Findings: Many ISO 9001 implementation methods have been developed for actual implementation in organizations, including models, frameworks, special variable considerations, application uses and integration. These methods were developed and applied to cover gaps regarding constraints, unbeneficial, special conditions, implementation objectives and organization types in ISO 9001 implementation. Current issues and future research on ISO 9001 implementation models were found, namely ISO 9001 implementation models specific to SMEs, ISO 9001 implementation levels, ISO 9001 implementation models that are agile to change, and affordable certification models.Originality/value: Only a few researchers have systematically reviewed the literature or taken a bibliometric approach in their analyses to provide an overview of the current trends and links to ISO 9001 implementation models. The ISO 9001 standard is a general standard and can be applied by all organizations with the implementation method left to the implementer. Many implementation methods have been developed, but several implementation obstacles and disadvantages are still found. It is important to know the extent of current research and discover future research gaps regarding methods of implementing the ISO 9001 standard.

Sistem perpipaan (plumbing) adalah sistem perpipaan pada sebuah gedung atau rumah yang terdiri dari air bersih, air limbah, dan air hujan. Mengingat pentingnya hal ini, pengetahuan tentang sistem plumbing perlu dimiliki oleh setiap stakeholder. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui persepsi konsumen, pengawas, dan pengetahuan perencana terhadap sistem plumbing pada perumahan rakyat dan juga untuk mengetahui kondisi sistem plumbing yang terpasang pada perumahan tersebut. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah deskriptif kualitatif dengan pengumpulan data primer melalui survei terhadap pengembang perumahan rakyat di Solo, Semarang, Makassar, dan Palembang. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pengetahuan konsumen tentang sistem plumbing pada bangunan rumah kurang baik. Sementara itu, pengetahuan perencana dan pengawas rumah tentang sistem perpipaan sudah baik. Perencana dan pengawas bangunan tahu bahwa ada peraturan dan standar mengenai sistem dan peralatan plumbing. Namun, standar nasional SNI 8153:2015 tentang sistem plumbing belum sepenuhnya diterapkan di perumahan. Penyediaan rumah dengan harga terjangkau berdampak pada penggunaan peralatan dan sistem plumbing. Spesifikasi peralatan yang digunakan belum dapat secara optimal memenuhi standar yang ada, karena harus mempertimbangkan biaya produksi pembangunan rumah dan harga jual rumah tersebut. Abstract The plumbing system is a piping system in a building or house consisting of clean water, wastewater, and rainwater. Given the importance of this, knowledge of the plumbing system needs to be owned by every stakeholder. The purpose of this study was to determine the perceptions of consumers, supervisors, and design engineers knowledge of the plumbing system in public housing and also to determine the condition of the plumbing system installed in the housing. The research method used in this research was descriptive qualitative, with primary data collection through surveys of the public housing developers in Solo and Semarang, Makassar, and Palembang. The results show that the consumer's knowledge of the plumbing system in house buildings was not good. Meanwhile, the knowledge of design engineers and supervisors regarding the plumbing system was good; design engineers and supervisors knew that there are rules and standards regarding plumbing systems and equipment. However, the national standard SNI 8153:2015 regarding the plumbing system had not been fully applied in housing. The provision of housing at affordable prices has an impact on the use of plumbing equipment and systems. The specifications of the equipment used cannot optimally meet existing standards because they must consider the production costs of house construction and the selling price of the house.

Project stakeholders are always trying to make the project a success, so the factors that influence the project's success become a growing concern and should be appropriately managed. Although various factors influence the success of a project, the project manager, as a leader in organizing, directing, and managing all types of project activities, plays a significant role. This study aims to develop a framework for assessing project management leadership as a factor in project success. The method used in this research is an in-depth literature review. Indicators of leadership factors in the success of project management have been identified, consisting of four main categories: competence of behavioural, intellectual and technical, managerial, and quality of leadership style, with 24 subcategory variables complementing the four main variables. A framework for leadership success factors in project management has been proposed, including ways of assessing, gap analysis, and interpretation of results.

Sebaran industri selayaknya didukung oleh lembaga penilaian kesesuaian (LPK) dengan sebaran dan rasio yang sebanding dengan jumlah dan kebutuhan industri, sebagai infrastruktur penerapan standar. Tujuan dari riset ini adalah untuk memetakan sebaran LPK yang terakreditasi Komite Akreditasi Nasional (KAN) dan menganalisis rasionya terhadap industri di Indonesia. Metode penelitian yang digunakan yakni dengan pendekatan deskriptif eksploratif dengan menghimpun informasi awal mengenai kondisi industri dan lembaga penilaian kesesuaian di Indonesia, kemudian dianalisis secara deskriptif mengenai rasionya pada masing-masing provinsi. Hasil studi ini menunjukkan bahwa sebaran LPK di Indonesia lebih banyak di pulau Jawa dan lebih sedikit khususnya di Indonesia bagian timur. Lebih dari setengah LPK tersebar di pulau Jawa, dengan 40,95% LPK terpusat di Provinsi Jawa Barat dan DKI Jakarta. Hal ini akan memengaruhi upaya pemerintah dalam pengembangan investasi industri di luar Jawa. Berdasarkan data rasio, terdapat 20 provinsi yang memiliki rasio LPK terhadap jumlah industri dengan nilai dibawah rata-rata nasional. Provinsi Jawa Timur, Jawa Barat dan Jawa Tengah merupakan provinsi yang memiliki 51% industri nasional, namun memiliki rasio ketersediaan LPK di bawah rata-rata nasional. Kondisi ini memerlukan suatu peta jalan pengembangan LPK di Indonesia untuk mendukung kebutuhan sektor industri dalam penerapan standar dalam meningkatkan daya saing bangsa.
