Pembuatan Website Inventaris Peralatan di Workshop Jurusan Teknik Mesin Politeknik Negeri Balikpapan

Abstrak

Vocational education in Indonesia is currently experiencing rapid growth due to increasing interest from students. Politeknik Negeri Balikpapan is one of the vocational campuses in Indonesia that emphasizes practical learning over theoretical instruction. Practical learning, of course, requires various equipment and materials to support activities, especially in the Mechanical Engineering laboratory. The laboratory in the Mechanical Engineering Department, currently known as the Workshop, consists of several pieces of equipment inventory, both government-owned and grant-based. The inventory process in the Mechanical Engineering laboratory is still carried out manually by checking each piece of equipment every six months. This manual process is time-consuming and does not provide real-time information about whether the equipment is in good condition or damaged. Based on this issue, the development of an equipment inventory website for the Mechanical Engineering Department Workshop at Politeknik Negeri Balikpapan is crucial to facilitate inventory management. The inventory website is also expected to include updates on equipment condition, quantity, year of procurement, and maintenance history. Additionally, the website is expected to synchronize the data between the Mechanical Engineering laboratory managers and the state-owned asset managers at Politeknik Negeri Balikpapan.
