The lecturer team is chaired by Prof. Dr. Ir. Djalal Rosyidi, MS., IPU., ASEAN Eng, consisting of Dr. Ir. Mustakim, MP., HDI, Dr. Agus Susilo S.Pt., MP., IPM., ASEAN Eng, Dr. Ir. Aris Sri Widati, MS, Dr. Ir. Eny Sri Widyastuti, MP, Dr. Herly Evanuarini, S.Pt., MP, Dr. Dedes Amertaningtyas, S.Pt., MP, and Mulia Winirsya Apriliyani, S.Pt., MP.

Meanwhile, the student group consisted of Elma Putri Primandasari, Sofia Aulia Hidayat, Mahappy Yusvidar Miftah, I Putu Angga Mayobhayu Sumertha, Saskia Amalia Puspita Dewi, and Dhiya Ulhaq.

The activity was carried out at Graha Wangsa Sisir Village, Batu City, and was attended by 40 participants who were small and medium scale industrial shredder entrepreneurs named “TM Mandiri.” The series of activities include surveys, coordination, problem identification, assistance in the production or manufacture of shredded chicken and beef, and packaging.

According to one of the Dokar team, Dr. Dedes, there are several significant problems that partners are facing. Among others, the production process management and packaging branding have not been maximized, and product labeling is not up to standard, lack of understanding of quality assurance and food safety, and constraints on product marketing and promotion.

“Therefore, for now, we (the gig team) focus on assisting the shredded production process in packaging. Furthermore, we will provide assistance in marketing techniques and quality control, but the implementation will be done online,” said Dedes

Dokar is one part of implementing the Tri Dharma of Higher Education following UB’s Vision and Mission, namely carrying out the role of universities as agents of renewal, pioneers, and disseminators of science, technology, arts, and humanities, as well as agents of national economic development based on the values ​​of local and noble wisdom.

The program aims to realize Key Performance Indicators (IKU) related to lecturers and students’ involvement in working outside the campus through industrial internships and have a spirit of independence, innovation, competition, and solutions for the community. Because the challenge in the Industry 4.0 era is networking with the Business World and the Industrial World (DUDI) and having off-campus experience. (dta)
