BINUS UNIVERSITY therefore makes available grants, funding opportunities as well as all-encompassing research tools in order to support wide-ranging research initiatives. In doing so, the university has successfully proposed viable solutions for a large variety of sectors including food biotechnology, computer system, medicine, and bioinformatics among others. As such, BINUS UNIVERSITY is renowned as a highly-proficient partner by industry leaders; currently, the university has established research collaboration with Gudpoin and Yamaha. Moreover, BINUS International is a leading local partner for a number of esteemed institutions of higher education overseas illustrating the university’s extended efforts in spearheading research development.
BINUS UNIVERSITY’s extensive international network of partners of higher education institutions as well as businesses enables its students to partake in a wide array of student mobility programmes, internships, and student exchange opportunities. Furthermore, through its 3+1 enrichment programme initiative, undergraduate students are offered a year of experience in community development, research engagements, and start-up incubators among others. Leading these key programmes are the BINUS Global Collaboration Center, BINUS Career, BINUS Entrepreneurship Center, the Research and Technology Transfer Office, and Teach For Indonesia.
BINUS UNIVERSITY is committed to delivering unsurpassed student experience services thus the university makes available programmes as well as organisations ranging from Alumni Network and BINUS UNIVERSITY Learning Community. To encourage students in partaking in community development initiatives, BINUS UNIVERSITY has also setup Teach For Indonesia thus enabling enrolled students the opportunity to closely engage with Indonesian society. Under the guidance of the International Office, BINUS UNIVERSITY continues to successfully implement recruitment strategies for international students by offering courses that are taught in English. In the coming years, BINUS UNIVERSITY is aiming to increase the number of enrolled local and international students particularly from China and the ASEAN in keeping with its extensive list of university partners in the aforementioned regions. Currently, BINUS UNIVERSITY offers the BINA NUSANTARA Mandarin Club as well as the Mandarin Literature Student Organisation which strives to facilitate students from Chinese-speaking regions; these clubs also enable students to explore BINUS UNIVERSITY’s diverse cultural background.
“ Even though we remain highly-focused on our students and graduates, we are also committed to BINUS UNIVERSITY’s original purpose as a university which is to educate the entire Indonesian society. ”
BINUS UNIVERSITY researcher and lecturer Mr Abba Suganda Girsang had his research published in the International Review of Mechanical Engineering in November 2017. Titled ‘Controlling System for Stock Raw Material for Production Planning and Inventory Control in a Pharmacy Company’, the research proposes the use of a data warehouse system that provides an accurate report on the needs of the production planning and inventory control system of a business. These reports can be accessed quickly which can mean businesses, especially those in the manufacturing industry, can adapt to customer demands more efficiently.
In conducting his experiment, Mr Girsang’s collaborated with Darya-Varia Laboratoria (DVL, a pharmaceutical company). The company’s production planning and inventory control (PPIC) division calculates the number of raw materials needed to produce its pharmaceutical products. This is done by attaining the data from several sources such as current customer demands, future customer demands, as well as recommendations made by upper management, before eventually being submitted as reports to the master production schedule (MPS) and material requirements planning (MRP) systems. Since these reports originate from a large number of sources, their accuracy can thus be questioned which can result in a delay in making important decisions by the company.
To solve this issue, Mr Girsang developed a data warehouse, a system used for data analysis, consolidation, and reporting at various aggregate levels. A company, for instance, will input information pertaining to its products, employees, salaries, customer information, invoices and sales to the data warehouse. The company will then analyze this to gain a better understanding of a variety of business challenges ranging from sales data by geographical region or market demand for specific products or cost-cutting measures. In the case of DVL, the data warehouse system enabled the PPIC to implement changes to the manufacturing planning process more efficiently due to the availability of this accurate and integrated data.
Mr Girsang’s research showcases the support BINUS UNIVERSITY provides to wide-ranging research initiatives. As such, the university’s lecturers are recognized by local and overseas institutions for their ability to propose effective solutions for a large variety of sectors.
