Identification Of Lean, Agile, Resilient, And Green (Larg) Practices On Agro Industry Indonesia

Abstract

. The undeveloped chocolate industry in Indonesia is characterized by low competitiveness. Improvement of the sustainable competitiveness chocolate industry need to be done. Several approaches (lean, agile, resilient, green) have been implemented in an effort to realize the sustainable competitiveness of the chocolate industry, but no one has integrated these four approaches directly. The purpose of this study was to analyze the implementation of the LARG issue in bean to bar chocolate SMEs in Indonesia. The calculation of the LARG index is done to find out how far SMEs have implemented the LARG issue. In addition, a mapping of the interests and performance of each LARG sub-indicator and also a rich picture were also carried out to illustrate the current situation of the chocolate SMEs. The results show many LARG sub-indicators that have not been implemented properly. Green have the most sub-indicators that need to be improved, namely P G1 (collaboration with suppliers and consumers in protecting the environment), P G3 (natural resource use), P G4 (environmentally friendly design, innovation, operation and packaging), P G5 (environmentally friendly label), and P G10 (reduce inventory levels). Comparison of the LARG index calculations shows the LARG index implementation is still very low at 3.66 while the interest according to Experts is 4.39. SMEs must improve the performance of the LARG issue in order to increase sustainable competitiveness.
