Introductory SD Workshop on Modeling Fiscal Policy for Sustainable Development

SEMS in collaboration with PT Makara Mas (Holding Company of Universitas Indonesia) conducted an introductory system dynamics workshop on modeling sustainable development for Fiscal Policy Agency – Ministry of Finance, Government of Indonesia. The workshop was part of Low Carbon Support, provided by the United Kingdom (UK) for the Ministry of Finance, especially the Centre for Climate Change Financing and Multilateral Policy (PKPPIM) in the Fiscal Policy Agency. PKPPIM are tasked to recommend a low carbon fiscal policies especially starting from the national budget 2015. This is why they needed a more integrated modeling tool to be able to evaluate green fiscal policy impacts.

FPA has already a strong group of economic models that are based on IO Models, SAM, and CGE, however since the questions of green policy is multi-dimensions with multi-sectoral approach, they feel that they need to have a more adaptive model to answer these questions.

The workshop was conducted for 5 days in the 2nd week of February, ranging from the basics of systems thinking and system dynamics, group dynamics, simple model building and closed by discussion on future models development of a new “green fiscal policy” model.

Beer Game Simulation at Astra Honda Motor AHM

In order to introduce the basic concept of Supply Chain Management for all its Dealers, PT Astra Honda Motor AHM asked SEMS Lab to conduct Beer Game Simulation. The Beer Game Serious Simulation Gaming (SSG) is perfect interactive way to have a common understanding of supply chain challenges (With of course No Beer drinking involved). Approximately 67 dealers were trained on September 10, 2014 at PT AHM Tipar Cakung. The facilitators team was lead by Mr. Hariyanto Salim MSIE, CSCP that consist of 1 Game Master, and 10 Game Companion for each Game Board.
Even though it is a classic game, the beer game was still an eye opener for all the participants, who are all practitioner and very expert in the field.

Congratulations to New SEMS Graduates 2014

Department of Industrial Engineering UI have confirmed more than 50 students for bachelor or master degree of Industrial Engineering in 2014. SEMS Lab itself has 9 new bachelors of engineering and 3 new masters of engineering  SEMS also wants to say congratulation for all new bachelors and masters of industrial engineering for their contribution so far in improving SEMS research. Those masters of engineering from SEMS are :

  • Arry Rahmawan ST., MT.
  • Candra Bangun Wiguna ST., MT.
  • Tubagus Ahmad Chair Chaulan ST., MT.

And those of bachelors of engineering from SEMS are :

  • Alvin Goputra ST.
  • Andreas Yanuar Hanaekan Nainggolan ST.
  • Aqmayrina ST.
  • Dian Widayanti ST.
  • Gede Arya Satya Dharma ST.
  • Laras Putri Paramarta ST.
  • Ramadhianto Agung Wibowo ST.
  • Santo Freddy ST.
  • Wulan Maulidiah ST.

Those Research Assistants (RA) focused on many topics such as port/maritime logistic, airport optimization, risk management, employee’s turnover in company, etc. Port logistic discussed about port terminal productivity and shipping route analysis. Besides seaport, SEMS also developed research in airport such as gate scheduling and virtual queuing. This year, SEMS laboratory tries to focus on actual condition in the real world. That’s why SEMS developed research about risk management, employee’s turnover in company, and projection of energy demand in inland transportation.

Our RA also took one of transportation projects in DKI Jakarta to become our research which is Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) Jakarta. In this research they were calculating energy consumption and carbon emission in MRT operation and designing ticket system (smart-card based) of MRT. All RA have passed final presentation that were held in the end of June 2014.

National Energy Council Workshop on SD

SEMS Laboratory is developing a model to evaluate the energy impact on land transportation strategy for the Dewan Energi Nasional (DEN – National Energy Council). The model is based on System Dynamics, therefore we kick off the model development by conducting an introductory one-day workshop on System Dynamics Modeling.

Our researcher, Aziiz Sutrisno, lead the workshop aims to give a foundation for the council’s expert to understand the SD “engine” of the model.
