Data Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) shows that the export value in January 2006, including oil and without oil worth 7.56 billion respectively, and 5.73 billion U.S. dollars, while import value respectively 4.39 and 3.18 billion U.S. dollars . Thus, Indonesia’s foreign trade balance for January 2006 including and without oil surplus respectively 3.17 billion and 2.55 billion U.S. dollars. Compared to January 2005 the export value, export value increased with and without oil and gas respectively 23.26% and 16.83%. The increase of export value is mainly due to higher export value of mining sector from 0.44 billion to 0.97 billion U.S. dollars.
Meanwhile, export data in May 2006 showed that the value of exports in that month recorded the highest monthly figure in history, reaching 8.34 billion U.S. dollars, an increase of 9.79% compared to the value of exports in April 2006. Meanwhile, the cumulative value of exports during January-May reached 38.39 billion U.S. dollars, an increase of 13.40% from the same period of 2005. Of this increase, the value of non-oil exports rose 10.52% and the value of oil and gas exports increased 7.22% from April. According to BPS (Kompas, Tuesday, July 4, 2006, p.17), the increase in export value in May caused more by the increase in exports from the mining sector in particular ore, crust, metal and ash. The export value of these products increased 113 million U.S. dollars compared to the value of exports of April.

In general, the high export value in May 2006 was caused by rising prices of many commodities such as crude palm oil (CPO), rubber and coal, as well as crude oil prices in world markets is still quite high. In the last five months, exports of rubber worth 776 million U.S. dollars, crude palm oil worth 360 million dollars, and coal reached 800 million U.S. dollars. Based on these developments, CPM predicts that
Indonesia’s total exports in 2006 could reach 100 billion U.S. dollars if the world economy is conducive and
world demand on export products of Indonesia remains high (Kompas, Tuesday, July 4, 2006, p.17).
When viewed from the year 2000, the value of total exports (oil and non-oil) had decreased from
approximately 65.4 million U.S. dollars in 2000 to 57.4 million dollars in 2001, and thereafter increased
continues until today. Therefore, the value of foreign trade surplus also had decreased
in the same period of about 25 million U.S. dollars to 22.7 million U.S. dollars (Figure 1). If the approximate BPS
is indeed realized, and the import growth was relatively stable, then Indonesia’s trade balance surplus
can be increased at the end of 2006.

So far the government has tried to improve the competitiveness of Indonesian exports, including
This last decided to accelerate the process of establishment of the Export Import Indonesia, with the embryo
Indonesian Export Bank (BEI). However, the effectiveness of any steps taken by the government
all this time to boost exports depends on whether the appropriate measures regarding
problems faced by Indonesian exporters in general over the years. According to World Bank research
(2004), slow export growth mainly due to four factors. First, cost competitiveness (cost
competitiveness), which declined due to appreciation of the rupiah and inflation higher than inflation in partner
The most important trades, such as the United States (U.S.) and European Union (EU).
In addition, according to estimates from the World Monetary Institute (IMF), unit labor costs in Indonesia are now 35% higher than before the economic crisis of 1997/98. Cost competitiveness of manufacturing industries
Indonesia is also caused by large domestic transaction costs in Indonesia. During the period 2001-02 level
general prices in Indonesia have increased by 24%, caused by electric rate increase (102%), materials
fuel oil / fuel (52%), diesel oil (159%), water (27%) and transport (32%) (James, Ray & Minor, 2003).
Meanwhile, rising fuel prices in the second half of 2005 has resulted in a sharp rise in inflation rate
by two digits (Thee, 2006). All this makes the production cost of Indonesia’s export goods become
higher than in other countries. With Indonesia’s productivity level is relatively low not compensate for the increased cost of production, making the level of price competitiveness of Indonesian products in the global market decline relative to the price of similar products from other producer countries.

Second, the investment slump. Indonesia’s poor business climate hamper export growth because they can not attract foreign investment, especially direct investment (FDI), which before the crisis is precisely the main actors in boosting non-oil exports, including industrial products. The absence of foreign investment means no new investment which is currently in fact very necessary to expand export production capacity and improve the quality and diversification of products (product upgrading). The experience of Indonesia during the New Order era in the development of non-oil export industry in particular shows that FDI is crucial to improving Indonesia’s export of industrial products has increased significantly during the period of the 80s until a crisis occurs. Stunning export surge from China is also largely driven by export-oriented activities of PMA.1
Third, the increasingly sharp international competition. China and Vietnam are strong competitors for Indonesia as they compete in the export of industrial products intensive in common with Indonesia, such as textiles, garments, footwear, and wood products are actually growing more rapidly than exports of Indonesia. Therefore, Indonesia recently lost market share in 30 non-oil exports, including industrial products, which is achieved by China and Vietnam (Pangestu, 2005). If poor condition of the national industry it is today with all sorts of problem remains unchanged, it is not impossible Indonesia will lose its global market share for industrial products have been the mainstay of Indonesia’s exports such as textiles and apparel (TPT), 2sepatu and product- products from wood.

News in Kompas published Wednesday, June 28, 2006 (p.17) indicates that the timber industry and forest products in Indonesia worsened. Citing data from BPS, wood products and forest products in the last three years continued to experience negative growth. In 2004 the industry recorded growth of minus 2.1%, in 2005 grew at minus 1.3%, then increasingly mired in the first quarter of 2006 to minus 5.8%. Based on data from the Indonesian Wood Panel Association (Apkindo), Indonesia’s wood panel production has reached about 7 million cubic meters in the period of 1999-2000 dropped to 3.5 million cubic meters in 2005. In fact, Malaysia is predicted to produce wood panels up to 4 million cubic meters (Kompas, Wednesday, June 28, 2006, p.17). Than 120 plywood factories in Indonesia, the factory which until now still in use and has recorded exports its products to stay 52 factories. However, these factories produced with an average capacity utilization of less than 50% of normal capacity. (Kompas, Wednesday, June 28, 2006, p.17).
Ironically, timber and forest products industry actually developed rapidly in competitor countries such as China, Malaysia and Vietnam which does not have its own timber. Indonesian furniture exports recorded 1.79 billion U.S. dollars, or grow an average of 0.088 billion U.S. dollars per year in the last 8 years. In the same period, exports of furniture from China grew an average of 1.1 billion U.S. dollars. China’s logging ban in the country’s furniture exports worth 14 billion U.S. dollars in 2005.
But many assumptions bring Indonesia’s timber industry can survive because the industry is better able to adjust to market conditions by improving quality control, better design, ability to meet international environmental standards, and marketing yasng better in international markets (Aswicahyono & Hill, 2004 .)

Fourth, weak trade facilitation. Various constraints at ports and physical infrastructure is one of the principal factors that increase the cost of exports in Indonesia. Although tariffs are relatively low use of Indonesian ports, but nearly all of Indonesia’s exports of container supplied (transshipped) via Singapore or Malaysia because Indonesia is so low port efficiency. According to a study of the efficiency of ports of Indonesia, International Container Terminal in Jakarta (Jakarta International Container Terminal, JICT), which is the main terminal in Tanjung Priok, Indonesia’s largest port, is the most inefficient terminal in Southeast Asia. Both in terms of productivity (number of containers that can be removed within one hour) and unit costs (the cost of lifting one container contains a size 40 foot, JICT at Tanjung Priok is the most inefficient compared with other ports in Southeast Asia such as Singapore, and Port Klang in Malaysia (Ray 2003).

• * The export opportunities are still wide open. Indonesia opportunities in marketing furniture products in overseas markets is still quite large because of the new Indonesian share of 1.62 percent during the year 2007. Indonesia achieved a rating to 18 for the category’s biggest exporter of furniture design. As said by the Head of NAFED (National Agency for Export Development), Bachrul Chaery, it is likely to rise higher to a very open level especially for wooden furniture (wooden furniture) of tropical forest raw materials. So far, Indonesia’s exports are still concentrated in certain segments of Japanese, American, and European.
• * Widespread use of information technology in business can also encourage the development of exports of furniture design. Suppliers in Indonesia are more likely to know more buyers, and buyers were more able to know more suppliers. So that this condition could reduce the distribution chain that could open up more export opportunities amid the global market.
• Indonesian Furniture manufacturers has a good competitive advantage in differentiation (uniqueness) and price. Interior furniture & exterior differentiation Indonesian wood furniture company is based on the skilled workers and carved wooden variety and richness of natural fibers. So then, Indonesia has the potential to produce interior design wood furniture (wooden furniture design) is unique. Labor Indonesian furniture, ranging from unskilled to skilled, available and relatively very cheap when compared with similar workers in other countries. This enables the Indonesian furniture can also compete in price.
• * In terms of network expansion of exports, Indonesia has established Export Development Agency who have links with Indonesian Trade Attache Indonesian Trade Promotion Center and abroad. These institutions has been pioneering in promoting Indonesian products, including interior design furniture overseas. Students and citizens of Indonesia abroad are also quite a lot. So they have the potential to develop export marketing networks abroad.

This study aimed to identify the factors that affect demand and supply of furniture and the degree of comparative advantage in PT Perhutani Unit Middle aw IJ. Data used in this study are annual data from 1994 to 2000, were analyzed using regression analysis to estimate the factors that influence, RCA and AR analysis to determine the comparative advantage and the analysis of the ISP to know the position of furniture in the international market.

The results showed that on average the highest export volume is to the Dutch state in the amount of 726.8 m3 per year with a growth of 27.39% per annum. Demand for furniture exports PT Perhutani Unit I is influenced by variables of the world timber prices, currency exchange rate mt, and aa world furniture exports. While the destination country the furniture production variables and GDP per capita of the country of destination does not affect demand for furniture exports IJ am PT Perhutani Unit Central. Average penawran ability as reflected in the production of furniture PT Perhutani Unit I at 5 5.5953 m3 per annum with a growth rate of 76.513% per annum.

Statistically furniture offerings are influenced by variables furniture prices, import furniture world, currency exchange rates, export volumes year to – t and export volume in the t – 1. Analysis of the products of comparative advantage, it is known that the share of furniture PT Perhutani Unit I is greater than the share of other furniture in the international market, and acceleration of growth is higher than other nebara furniture (average RCA index 249.367, AR index = 1.697). Furniture Indonesia ‘in general are at the stage of export expansion in international markets (ISP <0 8.,)

Domestic market products that element of traditional furniture and antiques is still a favorite product for the consumer. However, sometimes there are wood furniture manufacturers who differentiate their product quality, to overseas markets or only export oriented, high-quality products. While for the domestic market or domestic market their products only moderate or poor quality, giving the impression as if product quality is below standard.

The product of  indonesian wood furniture companies majority is oriented on exports, while for the domestic market only a small proportion is marketed. With an export-oriented products, they should have good quality and high, because that company maintain product quality from raw material selection (in this case timber used must be qualified), then surveillance at the time wood processing, the production to the finishing, as well as accuracy of product orders. Kinds of orders and delivery time all applicable with a system of professionalism, because he faced was the global market.

Faced with global market competition and the indonesian furniture manufacturers can choose implemented into the marketing strategy that is considered form appropriate. Company’s success in winning the highly competitive market is  depending on the chosen marketing strategy and applied in marketing. Development of marketing strategy is influenced by several things, among others, from internal factors and external factors.

Internal factors can be managed with good company, so it can be utilized as the power to apply one strategy
marketing that can be done, while external factors should be monitored to be able to exploit the business opportunities that exist and can be eliminate the threat of business in a corporate environment. Therefore focus and management attention must be directed to the formulation of strategy the right to utilize the internal factors and external factors, thus be a force in the face of competition in the global market.

The approach used the concept of regional development today is the concept of development based regional technology (technology-based regional development). The first step in preparing strategy of creating competitive advantages based on the concept of regional development area is by conducting the assessment / analysis of the content technologies that have a region at level company or industry. The concept of measurement used to perform content analysis technology in the wood furniture company / industry in the local market-oriented research is to apply the concept of measurement used by the United Nations-Economis and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UN-ESCAP), the model metrics. The model aims to measure the metrics combined contributions of the four components of technology

Wood processing industry for export markets began to be developed by the company in Indonesia in 1986 in accordance with Government policy that prohibits the export of logs and sawn timber export permit only and other processed wood, like furniture, laminating board, wood panels and other products.

Development of the furniture industry can be seen from the value of timber exports of finished goods in 1986 amounted to U.S. $ 99 million and in each following year either to U.S. $ 527 million in 1997.

Consumer sawn timber of the largest domestic housing sector and the construction sector. Then, since 1986 a new downstream industries began to be established, for example from wood furniture industry molding and laminating, etc..

Consumption of domestic wood processing is greater than that exported wood products, although exports of processed wood products is very potential to be developed.

Demand overseas for household furniture and goods of wood components, and increased fairly steadily from year to year. In periods of economic crisis that struck Indonesia today, the increase in exports of goods with high added value is one step to overcome the crisis.

Wood processing industry are labor intensive to create job opportunities and can also hold purchasing power (consumption) in an area where export companies are located.

Subsector wood processing industry that produces furniture and wood components for the export market has a very good business prospects, because the raw materials, labor and most of the other production factors originating from within the country.

Almost the entire production of export goods from the timber industry are shipped to buyers abroad of pelabuan big-city port on the island of Java, from Jakarta, Cirebon, Semarang and Surabaya. The main target of the domestic market of processed wood products are domestic companies and institutions on the island of Java.

Most of the companies engaged in wood processing sub-sector is small and medium scale companies. About 80% of the company is located in the northern part of Java island, because labor is available in large quantities and cost of adequate wages.

Because of limited production capacity and market opportunity is greater than its production capacity, manufacturers of finished goods processed timber scale UM / UB is exporting its production, had long worked with wood pengarajin groups.

Since the government launched a partnership program between medium or large business with small businesses, the opportunity to create an integrated partnership project between the two parties would be the focus of government and business world wood processing industry.

What remains an obstacle, the wood industry in Indonesia is still relying on imported machines from various countries, especially Japan, Taiwan, China, Malaysia, Germany, and Italy, because the wood processing machinery industry in Indonesia is still weak.

However, Indonesia has the prospect of industrial development, especially wood furniture is very large, after China and Vietnam. It is estimated that after the boom in demand for furniture from China and now turn to Vietnam, then the next Indonesian who became a major furniture-producing countries.

Therefore, Indonesia must manage their forests well with the principles of environmental sustainability and continuity, given the export destination countries such as the European Union and the United States, consumers really pay attention to sustainable forest management.

For students in a dorm looking for more space, a bunkbed that is strong, inexpensive and easy to build, may be the answer. If you are looking to loft your bed and put your desk or a chair or other furniture under it, these plans will work for that too. And if you are just looking for an inexpensive, yet sturdy bunk as a temporary unit.. take a look.

I built this with my daughter in a couple hours, took it apart and loaded it in her car and she put it back together at school with no trouble at all. EXCEPT her bed was 3 inches wider. So we needed to make the cross pieces (C) 36 inches long and replace the original ones. Oh, well, measure twice, cut once! These plans were ones supplied by her boyfriend’s university as the official bunks allowed in the dorms.

Bunkbed Construction Plans

This bunk bed is specifically designed to accommodate any of the various sizes of bed frames found at your college or university. Students should use the bed frame provided by the University.

Before cutting and building it though, measure the length and width of your bed frame or mattress to make sure it fits. This frame as described in our plans will hold the bed frame with the legs removed as long as it is 80″ or less long and 34″ or less wide. If yours is longer or wider, you will need to make adjustments.

Contact me to place your ad here Please note that the top of the lower bed box should be a minimum of 12 inches from the floor. The top bed box may be at any height, but it is suggested that it be at least two inches below the top of the posts in order to capture the metal frame and mattress.In addition, this design can easily be turned into a loft by removing items A2 and B2 (we suggest that if this change is made additonal cross supports be added to the construction).

Since my daughter wanted to put her desk under the bed, she measured that and we raised the leg height to 5′ tall, rather than the 4′ given in these plans.

If you don’t have a bed frame to rest on the supports at either end, then the whole frame can be covered with the 3/4″ plywood and the mattress laid right on top of that.

Directions for building:

1. First, measure the bed frame or mattress that this frame will support.
   The width should be the lenght of parts (C). You can add 1/4 inch for good measure. I will use the 34″ specified in the bill of materials, but you use your dimension.
   The lenght of the bed MINUS 3 inches will be parts (A). The 3 inches accounts for the width of the parts (C). Again, you can add 1/4 inch for slop. And again, I will use the 80″ that I have specified, you use your dimension.
   Finally, how high do you want this? 4 feet works out well, because you can cut an eight footer in half for the legs, and not have much waste. Likewise, with 5 feet, you can use 10 footers. I will use the 4 feet specified, but use what works for you. These will be parts (D)
2. Ok, cut all the 2×6 lumber to length.You will have:
   8 parts (D) for the legs
   4 parts (A) for the stretchers
   and 4 parts (C) for the Headboard and Footboard cross pieces
3. Now cut the 3/4 inch plywood (Part (B)). It will be 9 inches wide, by the length that you use for parts (C).
   If you don’t have a frame, and intend to use it over the whole bed and lay the mattress on top, it is part (C) wide by part (A)+ 3 inches long.
   You can undercut the plywood by 1/8 of an inch to allow it to fit in without a struggle.
4. Ok, all the parts are cut now.. It is time to assemble:

Start with the legs. Screw 2 pieces (D) together for each of the legs using about 10 3″ wood screws in each.

It helps if you have a few C clamps to hold things square while you drill and bolt the parts together. Measure up from the bottom of the leg 1 foot and draw a line at that point on the inside of the legs. Measure down from the top of the legs 2 3/4″ and mark a line again on the insides of the legs. The pencil lines mark the location of the top of the cross pieces. NOTE: orient the legs and cross pieces correctly. The cross pieces go against the side of the leg where they will be bolted to the same part that has the screws in it’s face. See figure A. NOTE: Drill the bolt holes to allow for placement of the stretchers (A). The holes should be about 3 1/2 inches in from the outside edge of the leg. See figure B

Using a square to check that the cross peices (C) are at 90 degrees to the legs, drill two offset holes 3/8 in diameter through both the cross piece (C) and the legs. Insert a bolt, washers and nut and tighten to finger tight and then do then next hole. Attach all four cross pieces (C) to the legs at the points marked.

Next attach the stretchers (A) to the top of the headboard and footboard. Have the C clamps to hold things in place while you drill and bolt the parts together helps. Again, square things up before you drill and bolt the parts together.

When all the stretchers that you are going to use are attached, you can use a wrench to tighten all the nuts tight. Draw the heads of the carriage bolts into the wood.

Finally attach the plywood on the two ends of each bed support. Screw it down with the 1 1/2″ wood screws (E).
