The Readiness of Training Tools for Work Skills of Wood Charcoal Sawdust Briquette Molding

Generating new job skills needs to be supported by good training management, one of the training requirements is the readiness of the equipment or tools used as training media. The training was carried out for wood charcoal sawdust briquette printing skills using briquette production equipment. Proving that production equipment meets the requirements in training management, it is necessary to carry out a series of machine qualification tests consisting of Design Qualification (DQ), Installation Qualification (IQ), Operational Qualification (OQ), and Performance Qualification (PQ). Tests were carried out using instruments assessed by experts and Aiken's validation methods. The results of the assessment of 9 experts showed that the validation score was DQ=0.889, IQ=0.896, OQ=0.878, and PQ=0.867 and after being tested it was declared valid with the Aiken's-V value > 0.677. It was concluded that the sawdust charcoal briquette molding machine was suitable for use as production equipment and training support facilities.
