Sedana Merta sells Hindu religious ceremonial tools. Their products have premium
quality but the prices offered are affordable. This is an opportunity for MSMEs
Sedana Merta to enter the international market. MSMEs Sedana Merta wants to
increase its market share to foreign markets, therefore it is necessary to have a
workforce who understands and is able to carry out international trade transactions.
This is also supported by the existence of the Asean Economic Community. So that
increasing employee competence is very much needed for MSMEs Sedana Merta
in facing the AEC in the global trade sector. Based on these problems, the authors
formulate the formulation of the problem, namely how to improve employee
competence at MSMEs Sedana Merta in the export sector? and what are the steps
to improve employee competence at Sedana Merta MSMEs in the export sector so
that they are ready to face the AEC?. The author's goal is to find out ways and steps
to improve employee competence at MSMEs Sedana Merta in the export sector so
that they are ready to face the AEC. The benefits that the authors expect through
this case study are as an additional reference for MSMEs Sedana Merta and other
MSMEs in improving employee competence to be ready to face the AEC and as
consideration for MSMEs Sedana Merta and other MSMEs in improving employee
competencies as well as input for MSMEs Sedana Merta and other MSME actors.

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
Currently the world community is in the era of the industrial revolution 4.0
which is an era that utilizes technology in it. This rapid technological
development has a significant impact on all sectors, so that many social
activities can be carried out effectively and efficiently. One of them is in terms
of business. In ancient times, people were only able to transact on a limited
basis. However, with the convenience of today's technology, people are able to
transact with sellers outside the region to between countries. This global trade
activity is a challenge as well as an opportunity for all business actors,
including small micro and medium enterprises (MSMEs).

With the increase in the number of micro enterprises, this is an opportunity
for MSME actors to compete globally through import-export activities. Based
on data obtained from the official website of the Central Statistics Agency
through www.bps.go.id, Indonesia's export value has increased well. So that
MSME actors have a great opportunity to market their products globally.

This does not preclude MSMEs Sedana Merta to expand the market
expansion to foreign markets. MSMEs Sedana Merta is one of the MSMEs in
Penarungan Village. MSME Sedana Merta sells Hindu religious ceremonial
tools including keben, dulang, sodan, and so on. The products have premium
quality but the prices offered are affordable. This is because MSMEs Sedana
Merta is the first distributor as well as producing semi-finished materials. Of
course, this is an advantage of MSMEs Sedana Merta.

LITERATURE REVIEW
The positive impact is that it will spur investment growth both from
outside and within the country so that it will open up new job opportunities.
In addition, the Indonesian population will be able to find work in other
ASEAN countries with relatively easier rules with this AEC. Thus, the
presence of the AEC is expected to reduce unemployment because it will open
up new jobs and absorb the current workforce to enter. According to the report
of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the International Labor
Organization (ILO), the AEC could create an additional 14 million jobs or
4
experience a 41 percent increase in 2015 due to the freer movement of skilled
workers. Regional economic growth can also be boosted to 7 percent. As for
the negative impact of the AEC, namely the existence of a free market for
goods and services, it will cause foreign workers to easily enter and work in
Indonesia, resulting in increasingly fierce labor competition in the field of
employment. The AEC requires the abolition of regulations that previously
prevented the recruitment of foreign workers. Restrictions, especially in the
professional workforce sector, are encouraged to be abolished so that the AEC
will open up more opportunities for foreign workers to fill various positions
and professions in Indonesia that have been closed or have minimal foreign
workers. When the AEC took effect, in the employment sector there were 8
(eight) professions that had been agreed to be opened, namely engineers,
architects, nurses, survey workers, tourism workers, medical practitioners,
dentists, and accountants
2.1.2 Export
The export of one of the economic sectors that plays an important role
in the expansion of the industrial sector market will encourage other industrial
sectors and the economy (Meier, 1996:313). In conclusion, exports greatly
5
affect the rupiah exchange rate which causes the rupiah exchange rate to
weaken or strengthen. The role of the export sector, among others:
1) Expanding the market across the ocean for certain goods, as emphasized
by classical economists, an industry can grow rapidly if the industry can
sell its products across the ocean rather than only in a narrow domestic
market.
2) Exports create a new effective demand. As a result, goods in the domestic
market are looking for innovations aimed at increasing productivity.
3) Expansion of export activities facilitates development, because certain
industries grow without requiring as much investment in social capital as
would be required if these goods were to be sold domestically, for
example due to the narrowness of the domestic market due to low real
income levels or adequate transportation links.

research is a research that uses the explanatory method. The purpose of this
study is to examine the impact of HR competencies on company
performance. Based on the research conducted, it can be concluded that in
general, HR competence has a positive and significant effect on company
performance. This means that the higher the competence of HR will further
improve the company's performance as indicated by the higher the
company's profit. However, if further examined from the three variables
studied, the skill variable has a significant influence on the performance of
Batik MSMEs in the Banyumas Regency area. The higher the skill, the
higher the performance of MSMEs.

CHAPTER III
The training methods that can be used by MSMEs Sedana Merta are
On the Job Training, E-Learning, and Simulation. The explanation is as
follows:
10
The on-the-job training (OJT) method is widely used in training
implementation. OJT is real on-the-job training. The basic philosophy of
OJT is that employees learn by observing their co-workers or supervisors at
work and trying to imitate their behavior. The success of this method really
depends on the owner who also acts as a trainer in directing and giving
instructions to the trainees.
2. E-Learning
This method refers to the instruction or delivery of training materials by a
computer via the internet or a company intranet. E-learning includes Web-
based training, distance learning, virtual classrooms, and the use of CD-
ROMs for learning. E-learning can include task support, simulation training,
distance learning, and learning portals. There are three characteristics of E-
learning, namely:
a) E-learning involves an electronic network that enables information and
instructions to be sent, shared, and updated in real time;
b) E-learning is sent to the training participants via computers with
internet technology;
c) E-learning focuses on learning solutions outside of conventional
learning by including information technology and performance-
enhancing tools.
3. Simulation
Simulation refers to training materials that seek to create a realistic decision
making for the trainees. Simulation allows trainees to see the impact of their
decisions on a risk-free mock environment, which is typically used to teach
production and operational skills, as well as management and interpersonal
skills. Simulation techniques allow an individual to experience interactions
between functional areas within the organization, between the organization
and its competitors, or between the organization and its environment. The
trainees make various marketing, production, HR, or financial decisions, as
input for the computer simulation, and then the program will demonstrate
the impact of these decisions on the performance of the simulated
organization. The simulator needs to have elements identical to those in the
11
work environment. Simulators need to respond exactly as equipment does
in real-world conditions within the organization. This is why simulators are
expensive to build and require periodic updating as new information about
the work environment is acquired. Simulations are especially useful when
on-the-job training can result in serious accidents, costly mistakes, or
damage to valuable materials.

introduce the export process that will be carried out so that employees have
an idea of the export process that will be carried out later. Next is the On-
the-Job Training process carried out by employees. In this process,
employees are ready to carry out export procedures according to the
materials and simulations that have been provided.
3. Program Evaluation
After the export activities of MSMEs Sedana Merta have been
running for several months, program evaluation activities are very
important to be carried out. The assessments carried out include measuring
reactions, measuring learning, evaluating behavior and results. Reaction
measuring typically focus on how participants feel about the training
subjects and trainers, suggestions for improvement in the program, and the
level of assistance the training provides to their work. At MSMEs Sedana
Merta, reaction measurements were carried out using a questionnaire to
obtain feedback from employees after attending training and development.
Learning measures assess the extent to which participants master the
concepts, information, and skills imparted during the training process. At
MSMEs Sedana Merta, to measure the mastery of the material by
employees, it is done by observing the development of the employee's
performance.
Behavioral evaluation of the training program is measured through
changes in the behavior of the participants in carrying out their work.
Assessment of behavioral changes on the job as a result of training. At
MSMEs Sedana Merta, behavior evaluation is carried out by evaluating in
the form of questions in the form of questionnaires given before and after
the training.
Evaluation of results can be done through performance evaluation
for each work unit after its employees have participated in training and
development programs. This evaluation can be seen from cost savings,
increased production, increased sales, decreased work accidents, improved
employee morale, decreased employee turnover, and decreased employee
absenteeism. In the MSMEs Sedana Merta, the evaluation of the results is
13
carried out by looking at the development of product sales in exports and
based on the interest of importers from other countries towards the
MSMEs Sedana Merta‘s products.

CHAPTER IV
CONCLUSION
4.1 Conclusion
MSMEs Sedana Merta have the potential to carry out export activities,
considering that there are many opportunities to penetrate the international
market and the product quality of MSMEs Sedana Merta that can compete and
have unique characteristics. To support this potential, an effort is needed to
increase employee competence in the export sector so that products from
MSMEs Sedana Merta can enter the international market. The ways that can
be taken to improve employee competence in the export sector are by
conducting training and development which then uses On the Job Training, E-
Learning and Simulation methods. After knowing the ways that can be done to
improve employee competence, then the next are the steps or processes that
can be applied by MSMEs Sedana Merta in increasing employee competence
in the export sector. These steps include determining employees and program
patterns, developing and training processes, and evaluating programs. With this
effort to improve employee competence, MSMEs Sedana Merta will have
greater opportunities in global trade and human resources at MSMEs Sedana
Merta can compete in the middle of the AEC.
4.2 Suggestions
The suggestions that the author can convey are the need to increase
employee competence in the export sector for MSMEs in Indonesia because
Indonesian MSMEs have great opportunities to compete in the international
market. This aims to improve the economy of the community and the state and
maximize the potential of Indonesian MSMEs.
