Abstract

Perhitungan harga pokok produksi (HPP) merupakan elemen penting dalam pengambilan keputusan manajerial, khususnya bagi UMKM yang sering menghadapi keterbatasan dalam pencatatan keuangan dan sistem informasi. UD Karya Abadi sebagai UMKM di sektor industri makanan ringan masih melakukan proses pencatatan secara manual, sehingga penentuan harga pokok produksi menjadi kurang akurat dan berdampak pada ketidaktepatan dalam penetapan harga jual. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan sistem informasi harga pokok produksi berbasis web dengan menggunakan metode variable costing guna membantu UMKM memperoleh informasi biaya produksi secara lebih akurat, cepat, dan terstruktur. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah Research and Development (R&D) dengan serangkaian tahapan mulai dari identifikasi masalah, perencanaan, pengumpulan data, analisis, pengembangan konsep, hingga evaluasi dan validasi sistem. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sistem informasi yang dibangun mampu mengolah data bahan baku, biaya tenaga kerja, biaya operasional, serta data produksi secara terintegrasi untuk menghasilkan perhitungan harga pokok produksi berdasarkan pendekatan variable costing. Validasi internal dan eksternal menunjukkan bahwa sistem telah memenuhi kebutuhan pengguna dan layak digunakan dalam operasional UMKM. Dengan demikian, digitalisasi perhitungan HPP melalui sistem informasi ini dapat meningkatkan ketepatan perhitungan biaya, efisiensi pencatatan, serta mendukung pengambilan keputusan yang lebih baik bagi UMKM.The calculation of the cost of goods manufactured (COGM) is a critical component in managerial decision-making, particularly for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) that often face limitations in financial recording and information systems. UD Karya Abadi, an MSME engaged in snack food production, still relies on manual bookkeeping, leading to inaccurate cost calculations and suboptimal pricing decisions. This study aims to develop a web-based cost of goods manufactured information system using the variable costing method to support MSMEs in generating more accurate, timely, and structured production cost information. The research adopts the Research and Development (R&D) method, which involves several stages, including problem identification, planning, data collection, analysis, concept development, and system evaluation. The results show that the developed system can integrate data on raw materials, direct labor, operating expenses, and production processes to accurately compute the cost of goods manufactured under the variable-costing approach. Internal and external validation indicate that the system meets user needs and is feasible for implementation within MSME operations. Therefore, the digitalization of COGM calculation through this information system improves cost accuracy, enhances recording efficiency, and supports more effective decision-making for MSMEs.
