An analysis of contribution rates in relation with funding structurization in formulating the Indonesian National Standards (SNIS)

Abstract

Standard formulation/development processes/stages are important to be analyzed as they determine whether a standard is acceptable in the market and/or able to meet the stakeholders' expectation. This research aims to identify the contribution rates of the SNI (Indonesian National Standard) formulation stages. The order of SNI formulation stages based on contribution rate is compared with that based on funding structurization to analyze the relations between them. Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method is considered effective and efficient to measure contribution rate to evaluate the SNI formulation stages while activity-based costing (ABC) technique is used to identify the funding structurization. The research concludes that the existing SNI formulation stages are still relevant to be used. The rate contribution shows differences between stages but not significant. The stage of publication has the largest contribution rate (0.197703) while the stage of concept drafting has the largest funding structurization (USD 624.). There are differences in the order of importance of SNI formulation stages between the contribution rates and funding structurization. Moreover, this research also concludes that priority setting can be used to monitor the allocation of limited resources in order to be more effective. Thus, contribution rate analysis can become a tool to implement it. Also, the funding structurization can be used as a basis to create an equation to determine standard formulation costs that include fixed and variable costs. Further research can be conducted to analyze the relationship of contribution rate with other resources such as time requirement and human resources in the SNI formulation stages.
