Break even analysis of Clay Transport as Raw Materials in Small Bricks Industry using Grandong based Appropriate Technology in Rural Areas


The main objective of this study is to analyze the break-even point, the point at which total production costs equal income. The break-even point shows that the level of production has generated revenue equal to the production costs incurred, a case study of transporting clay as a raw material for small brick industries using Grandong. Grandong is a small truck, made from scrap metal waste, made by researchers and the community in Onembute District, Konawe Regency. The research method does break-even point analysis, the point at which the total production cost equals income. The break-even point shows that the level of production has generated income equal to the production costs incurred. Based on the results of the study, to transport clay raw materials to small brick industries using alternative transportation equipment in rural or inland areas, it is strongly recommended, especially equipment based on Appropriate Technology and local assemblies, this is due to spare parts, waste of scrap metal is quite a lot and human resources for operators and technicians are quite available and able to handle them, this type of equipment is still very much needed for small industry activists in rural areas.
