The sensitivity analysis of salted anchovy
processing on Pasaran Island, Karang City Village,
Teluk Betung Timur District, Bandar Lampung City
shows that the business is sensitive to changes in
certain conditions. At a 4.8% increase in production
costs, the business is still feasible to continue, while
when there is a 10% decrease in the amount of
production, a 14.45% decrease in selling price, the
business is not feasible to continue. Based on the
results of this study, suggestions that can be made
by the owner of anchovy processing are as follows:
1. Owners should increase the number of
production equipment to achieve maximum
production capacity and expand the market to
increase target consumers. By expanding the
market, the owner's business can last longer if
there is a decrease in the selling price or an
increase in the price of anchovy raw materials.
This is because expanding market share can
increase the number of consumers which can
reduce fixed costs per unit, [31].
2. Owners should make production cost efficiency
to be able to optimize profit in the following
ways:
a. Strengthening upstream (suppliers) to obtain
quality anchovy raw materials at a more
affordable price.
b. Overhead costs should be separated into
variable overhead costs and fixed factory
overhead costs. The overhead costs used in
this production consist of the cost of salt,
gas, cardboard, duct tape, diesel fuel,
transportation costs, consumption and
property tax. So, the variable overhead costs
consist of the cost of salt, gas, cardboard,
duct tape, diesel fuel, transportation costs,
consumption, while the fixed overhead costs
are property tax. This separation method is
necessary because changes in production
quantities will affect variable overhead
costs.
c. Implementing Activity Based Costing
(ABC) and Activity Based Management
(ABM) to optimize production processes
and cost calculations, so as to avoid under
costing and overcosting in determining
selling prices.
Based on the suggestions above, it is expected that
the profit received is in accordance with the costs
incurred and the time required to return the
investment is not too long.
The results of this study have theoretical and
practical implications. Theoretically, this research
does not only focus on investment ratios but also
adds what-if analysis in which this modeling is
useful for knowing the effects of changes in
production parameters (i.e. inflation, increases in
raw material prices) on changes in production
system performance in generating profits.
Practically, this research provides knowledge to
micro entrepreneurs, especially salted anchovy
processing producers on Pasaran Island, Karang
City Village, Teluk Betung Timur District, Bandar
Lampung City related to the feasibility of salted
anchovy business and can be an analytical tool for
anchovy processing producers. salt to determine the
strategy used in developing its business. This study
emphasizes the investment ratio, so that future
research can develop other aspects related to the
feasibility study, such as social, economic, and
political aspects, industrial environmental aspects,
and market aspects. Future research also can
compare for financial feasibility analysis between
two regions and further identify the factors that
cause business excellence in both regions.
