The Role of Technology to Increasing Productivity of Seawood Waste Handicrafts Small Business in Tegallalang Village

Abstract

The main problem of MSMEs in the marine wood waste handicraft industry is the limited use of appropriate technology in increasing production. the technology used is usually conventional production tools to technological tools that are no longer suitable for use. Constraints in production capacity will cause constraints on MSMEs in increasing productivity because they are hampered by production time. The low productivity of MSMEs will threaten the sustainability of MSMEs in maintaining and increasing their international market considering that so far MSMEs still rely on exports. Production activities by updating technology have a huge impact on production productivity so that the opportunity to export becomes greater. In this community service activity, renewal of equipment used for production is carried out. As a result, productivity in each partner has increased so that it can provide opportunities for both partners to increase their sales.
