Peningkatan Kapasitas UMKM Melalui Pendampingan Perizinan Produk dan Perhitungan Harga Pokok Produksi

Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are the backbone of the Indonesian economy, as they contribute to increasing GDP and creating employment opportunities. However, MSMEs currently still face several obstacles, especially related to product licensing and calculating the cost of goods manufactured. Therefore, the purpose of this community service is to help MSMEs improve their understanding and awareness of the importance of product licensing and calculating the cost of goods manufactured. Product licensing from a government agency is crucial for MSMEs to establish trust in their products, while the cost of goods manufactured is essential for MSMEs to determine the selling price and expected profit. This activity was carried out in several stages, including planning, preparation, implementation, and evaluation. The presenters presented their material according to their respective expertise. During the presentation, enthusiasm was evident from the participants who asked several questions to the presenters. In addition to the presentation of the material and discussion, the activity also concluded with a simulation of filling out a checklist of MSME readiness to register their products with the relevant agency. Based on the results of the filling, it was found that the MSMEs were not yet able to fulfill all the existing fields and still needed much improvement.
