PRODUCTIVITY MEASUREMENT ANALYSIS USING OMAX ANDAHP METHODS ON BATIK SME

Abstract

Batik is a cultural heritage originating from Indonesia which has been designated by
UNESCO. Since then, the business of making batik has grown rapidly in Indonesia, with
each region having its characteristics. In making batik, there are two kinds of manufacturing
processes, namely the manufacturing production process and the traditional manufacturing
process. Batik production is a unique process because it contains works of art with a
traditional manufacturing process and contains elements of local policies. The difference
in the manufacturing production process using modern technology, the resulting batik
products also have the same results and can produce a lot of batik cloth in a short
processing time. As for the process of making traditional batik, it must be produced one
by one using traditional equipment, the batik pattern of each cloth is different, for the
results cannot be identified this makes it special, and each stage of the process takes quite
a long time. Productivity is important for batik production. Especially done by craftsmen
in areas that are relatively new to developing traditional batik since the era of world cultural
heritage has only been accepted by Indonesia. This study measures the productivity of BM
batik SME in Malang. Based on the calculation and analysis of productivity using the
Objective Matrix (OMAX) method for BM Batik SME, it can be concluded that the
productivity of SME is low, with the lowest being the productivity of batik working time
(value 1), the productivity of batik products having (value 1). 3) and labor productivity
(score 5). With fishbone diagram analysis, it can be found the cause of the low productivity
of these traditional batik SME. From here, several alternative solutions can be obtained, as
recommendations for efforts to increase the productivity of SME based on traditional
production without eliminating the heritage standards of batik works.
