PERANCANGAN ALAT PENGERING OTOMATIS GUNA OPTIMASI PRODUKSI BATIK MADURA PATENGTENG MENGGUNAKAN METODE QUALITY FUNCTION DEPLOYMENT (QFD) PADA BATIK PATENGTENG MADURA

Batik is an Indonesian cultural heritage that has been recognized by UNESCO as a humanitarian heritage
for oral and intangible culture since October 2009. One type of batik that has uniqueness and high aesthetic value
is the Madura Patengteng Batik from Bangkalan, Madura. However, the sustainability of batik production faces
big challenges due to the long production process, especially during the drying stage which still depends on
weather conditions. Uneven drying can affect batik quality and extend production time, thereby reducing the
efficiency and competitiveness of the batik industry. This research aims to design an automatic drying tool to
optimize the production of Madura Patengteng Batik by applying the Quality Function Deployment (QFD)
method. This method is used to identify the needs and desires of batik craftsmen and transform these needs into
appropriate technical specifications for tools. This research uses a quantitative approach by collecting data through
questionnaires distributed to batik business owners in Bangkalan. The data obtained was analyzed using the House
of Quality (HoQ) to determine optimal dryer specifications. The research results show that the designed automatic
dryer is able to speed up the drying process, improve the quality of the final batik result, and reduce dependence
on weather conditions. This tool is equipped with a temperature and time control system that can be adjusted to
the type of batik cloth, and is designed with energy-saving technology to increase production efficiency. Thus, it
is hoped that the application of this automatic drying tool can provide an innovative solution for Madurese
Patengteng Batik craftsmen, so that they can maintain production continuity and preserve the cultural heritage of
typical Madurese batik.
