| Abstract: |
Tourism is famous and one of the main industry in the world today. It is used as an economic development and earning a source of the people. Many developing countries of the world today have improved and managed their economy through the means of tourism.Tourism is an up-growing industry at any state or economy. Tourism and the environment are inter-dependent. The physical environment provides lots of attractions for tourists and the development of tourism can generate both positive and negative environmental impacts. Tourism is a leading and the single largest industry in the world today. As statistics show by the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC), more than 255 million people earned their livelihood from tourism in the year 2006. In 2001 international tourist arrivals and receipts stood at 693 million and $ 462 billion respectively making it the highest export-earning sector of the world. According to the World Tourism Organization (WTO), the tourism industry accounts creates a new job. Nowadays Urban Tourism is the fastest growing service-industry whereas the prospects of it are very bright. The main opportunity for tourism is to create employment. |

| Abstract: |
Paper sludge (PS) is generated as an industrial waste during the manufacture of recycled paper products, and amounts discharged globally are increasing annually. On the other hands, phosphate is usually considered as the limiting nutrient with respect to the eutrophication of natural bodies. In this study, paper sludge was converted into an effective phosphate sequestration agent through granulation and calcination. PS was granulated with distilled water using pan granulator (40 rpm) at 30 – 50 oC with the angle of 30 – 45 o, and the sludge can be granulated at 40 - 50 oC with the angle of 37.5 – 45 o for less than 10 min. The particle shapes of granulated sludge can be kept after calcination at 800 oC, and the product, which was granulated at 40 – 50 oC with the angle of 45 o, indicates strong porous structure. The product has phosphate removal ability for water purification, due to the formation of calcium phosphate minerals. |

| Abstract: |
PT. NEO is a company that produces batteries in Indonesia. Problems often faced by companies include shipments that are not in accordance with demand, and delays in product delivery. From the problems that occur, in terms of the supply chain, it is necessary to assess the performance of the supply chain flow using the Supply Chain Operation Reference (SCOR) method. The assessment was carried out in several stages, namely identification of SCOR matrix, verification of Key Performance Indicator (KPI) by distributing indicator questionnaires, calculation of normalization values (scores), weighting KPI using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method by distributing AHP questionnaires. The supply chain flow performance value obtained is 69.18 with the Average category, the results of the benchmark analysis obtained 4 indicators that still have gaps, namely: POF 5.88%, OFCT 5 days, COGS 6.71%, CTCCT 3 days. |

| Abstract: |
This case study was developed during one year in 2017 for the Association of Producers of Vegetables of Yaqui and Mayo in Mexico and Instituto Technologic de Sonora, where the opportunity for the use of waste was presented, in this case lagging potato, that is, potato after the third and fourth production cuts; with the purpose to manufacture bioplastic pellets as row material for 3D printers. The methodology of seven steps for the realization was defined as: 1) Contextualization of the current situation; 2) Identification of the opportunity from lagging potato; 3) Ratification of the factory location, this when obtaining information on the location in which the Association planned to have the new plant; 4) Description of the pellet manufacturing process; 5) Determination of supplies; 6) Layout for the pellet factory; and 7) Simulation of the factory. The main conclusions for the investors are that they have a layout proposal based on a flexible distribution logic and the simulation of the factory to test the capacities according to scenarios. This case study uses Systematic Layout Planning and System Dynamics for scenario analysis as a theoretical contribution in the academic field. |

| Abstract: |
The present case study consists of a study carried out in a commercialization company of special coatings with focus on the introduction of its new by-product in the market in Ciudad Obregon. The study had an objective. The information was made in the market. From the normal scenario, considering the demand for projects in the region under study, as well as the production capacity of the company. Similarly, a subproject where the product is the added value, a feasible sales model according to the company's turn and finally the establishment of sales policies for distributors and representatives. The results allow us to see that the application of system dynamics methodology, represents an advantage for making decisions based on data. |

| Abstract: |
Determination of lean and agile strategies aims to improve efficiency, flexibility and provide a quick response to business processes from planning, manufacturing, marketing, and distribution. Implementation of Supply Chain Management (SCM) that has been carried out by the company includes supplier’s partnership, customer relationships, information sharing, integration intensity, and trust and commitment. This study aims to determine and analyze the effect of lean and agile strategies on the implementation of supply chain management. As the object of the study were 294 respondents from the Apotek Kimia Farma network employees involved in SCM. This research is a causal associative type through a questionnaire that is measured by a semantic differential scale where the lowest points are 1 to the highest point 10. Data analysis uses Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) AMOS 24. The results show that lean strategies have a positive effect on SCM implementation with parameter values 0,153 significant level 0,048 and agile strategy have a positive effect on the implementation of SCM with a parameter value of 0,618 with a significant level of 0,001. The effect of agile strategies on the implementation of SCM is more dominant than the lean strategy. |
