Purpose: This activity aims to provide training on the human resource management system (HR) in Karang Taruna to optimize the performance of its organization. Methodology/approach: The community service team conducted training and mentoring in the preparation of the HR management system through job design which includes job specifications, job descriptions and organizational structure. Furthermore, the team conducted monitoring and evaluation to see to what extent the job design was maximally implied in the Karang Taruna organization. Results/findings: The results of this community service activity are that Karang Taruna has an organizational structure, but does not yet have a detailed job design including job specifications and job descriptions. In its organizational activities, the Karang Taruna management does not make maximum use of the abilities of its members and there is a lack of clarity in the job description. So this results in the less than optimal performance of the Karang Taruna organization. Conclusions: This activity increased the Karang Taruna Krobokan administrators’ understanding of HR management from 52.2% to 87.3% and encouraged the implementation of a more structured HR system to optimize organizational performance. Limitation:  The limitation of this community service activity is the limited time in analyzing and understanding the condition of the youth organization so that in the job design process, there is less detail in terms of job specifications, job descriptions and organizational structure.  Contribution: Training and mentoring in the preparation of the HR management system in this community service activity is able to optimize the performance of the youth organization through the application of the organizational design.

Purpose: This community service aims to provide training and develop strategies to improve the quality of small businesses based on the classification of SMEs in Palembang, South Sumatra. Methodology/approach: This research was conducted using a sample of data from 15 printing MSMEs in Palembang. The methodology follows a systematic process involving classification and association analysis. Data attributes such as Business Status, Business Classification, Place of Birth, Age, Gender, Education, Occupation, Marital Status, and Domicile were selected and transformed for analysis. The classification and association algorithms were applied to reveal the relationships between variables, using relevant categorization such as age groups (e.g., early adulthood, late adulthood, etc.). Results/findings: The findings show that by categorizing and analyzing the attributes of the MSMEs, strategies effectively enhance their income and operational efficiency. Moreover, the study found that 76% of participants successfully implemented appropriate strategies following the training. On average, businesses experienced a 15% increase in income and a 20% improvement in production efficiency. Conclusions: This training significantly contributed to improving the performance of printing MSMEs in Palembang by enhancing entrepreneurs’ understanding of business classification, operational efficiency, and targeted development strategies. It also fostered collaboration and strengthened business networks to support MSME competitiveness. Limitations: The limitation lies in the sample size, which includes only 15 printing MSMEs. This may limit the generalizability of the findings to other MSMEs in different regions or industries. Additionally, the data collected is based on self-reported information, which could introduce bias or inaccuracies in the analysis. Contribution: This study contributes to SME development by emphasizing the importance of classification-based strategies. The findings offer valuable insights for policymakers, training organizations, and SME owners in creating more targeted, effective strategies to enhance SME performance in Palembang.
