PEMETAAN DAN SOSIALISASI GOOD MANUFACTURING PRACTICES BAGI INDUSTRI RUMAH TANGGA TEMPE DESA MLIRIP MOJOKERTO

Abstract

Mlirip Village, Mojokerto Regency, consists of seven hamlets with one of the superior products in the form of tempeh produced by seven household industries (IRT) with a demand for soybeans of more than 1.3 tons per day. The main problem faced by artisans is the production process that is still carried out traditionally using simple equipment, and has not yet implemented the rules of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). This led to limitations in production and marketing development. This community service activity aims to map the implementation of GMP in seven IRTs, especially related to production machinery and equipment, raw materials, and production process supervision, which is followed by GMP socialization. The stages of activities include field observation, analysis of conformity with GMP standards, mapping of critical aspects, and socialization of results to craftsmen. The results of the analysis showed that the machines and equipment were not equipped with standard humidity and airflow control devices, and most of them were still made of wood that did not meet GMP requirements. From the aspect of raw materials, craftsmen only use basic items without a clear standard formulation so they do not meet quality requirements. Meanwhile, in the aspect of process supervision, many shortcomings were found, including the absence of detailed written procedures, recording of the number of production, composition formulation, and distribution documentation, as well as the lack of use of personal protective equipment. Thus, this activity contributes to increasing the understanding and readiness of tempeh artisans in implementing GMP principles so as to support the creation of more hygienic and empowered household food products.
