WHAT IS COST ENGINEERING - AACE ???


Written by John K. Hollmann, PE CCE (AACE Technical Board Member)

In your career, you have probably asked or been asked, “What is cost engineering? What does a cost engineer do? What is total cost management (TCM)?”, and so on. AACE International's Recommended Practice 11R-88Required Skills and Knowledge of Cost Engineering, provides some answers which are excerpted here. Beyond being a guiding document for AACE International’s education and certification developments, 11R-88 is an excellent reference for industry core competency and career model development.
What are Cost Engineering and TCM?

The AACE International Constitution and Bylaws defines cost engineering and total cost management as follows:
Section 2. The Association is dedicated to the tenets of furthering the concepts of total cost management and cost engineering. Total cost management is the effective application of professional and technical expertise to plan and control resources, costs, profitability and risk. Simply stated, it is a systematic approach to managing cost throughout the life cycle of any enterprise, program, facility, project, product, or service. This is accomplished through the application of cost engineering and cost management principles, proven methodologies, and the latest technology in support of the management process.

Section 3. Total cost management is that area of engineering practice where engineering judgment and experience are used in the application of scientific principles and techniques to problems of business and program planning; cost estimating; economic and financial analysis; cost engineering; program and project management; planning and scheduling; cost and schedule performance measurement, and change control.
In summary, the list of practice areas in Section 3 are collectively called cost engineering; while the "process" through which these practices are applied is called total cost management or TCM.
How is cost and schedule management an “engineering” function?

Most people would agree that "engineers" and engineering (or more generally, the “application of scientific principles and techniques”) are most often responsible for creating functional things (or strategic assets as we call them in TCM).

However, engineering has multiple dimensions. The most obvious is the dimension of physical design and the calculation and analysis tasks done to support that design (e.g., design a bridge or develop software). However, beyond the physical dimension of design (e.g., the bridge structure), there are other important dimensions of money, time, and other resources that are invested in the creation of the designed asset.

We refer to these investments collectively as costs. Using the above example, someone must estimate what the bridge might cost, determine the activities needed to design and build it, estimate how long these activities will take, and so on. Furthermore, someone needs to monitor and assess the progress of the bridge design and construction (in relation to the expenditure of money and time) to ensure that the completed bridge meets the owner's and other stakeholder's requirements. Someone must also monitor and assess the cost of operating and maintaining the bridge during its life cycle.

Returning to the AACE International Constitution and Bylaws definition, understanding and managing the cost dimensions requires skills and knowledge in, “business and program planning; cost estimating; economic and financial analysis; cost engineering; program and project management; planning and scheduling; and cost and schedule performance measurement and change control.”

No significant asset has ever been built without dealing with these cost dimensions in some way, and the more systematically and professionally these dimensions are addressed, the more successful the asset performance is likely to be. Therefore, cost engineering recognizes that cost is a necessary extension of traditional engineering (and other creative functions such as systems analysis, etc.), and that there is an intimate connection between the physical and cost dimensions of the asset.
Do cost engineering practitioners need to have a traditional “engineering” background?

The skills and knowledge required to deal with costs (e.g., cost estimating, planning and scheduling, etc.) are quite different from those required to deal with the physical design dimension. From that difference, the field of cost engineering was born. Cost engineering practitioners work alongside of and are peers with engineers, software analysts, play producers, architects, and other creative career fields to handle the cost dimension, but they do not necessarily have the same background. Whether they have technical, operations, finance and accounting, or other backgrounds, cost engineering practitioners need to share a common understanding, based on “scientific principles and techniques,” with the engineering or other creative career functions.
Do cost engineering practitioners all have the same function?

Cost engineering practitioners tend to be:
  • specialized in function (e.g., cost estimating, planning and scheduling, etc.);
  • focused on either the asset management or project control side of the TCM process; and
  • focused on a particular industry (e.g., engineering and construction, manufacturing, information technology, etc.); or asset type (e.g., chemical process, buildings, software, etc.).
They may have titles such as cost estimator, quantity surveyor, parametric analyst, strategic planner, planner/scheduler, value engineer, cost/schedule engineer, claims consultant, project manager, or project control lead.

They may work for the business that owns and operates the asset (emphasis on economics and analysis), or they may work for the contractor that executes the projects (emphasis on planning and control). But, no matter what their job title or business environment, a general knowledge of, and skills in, all areas of cost engineering are required to perform their job effectively.

HOW TO SELECT THE VALVE


Each valve assembly consists of a valve body, an actuator and a linkage kit. The instructions and tables in this catalog will guide you in selecting the proper components or factory assemblies.

1. Determine the Application Criteria

• Flow type required:
o two-way, equal % or modified linear

o three-way, mixing or diverting
• Fluid type (hot water, steam, glycol, etc.)

• Fluid temperature

• Inlet pressure required

Existing piping or tubing size

For Control Form VF, VP and VS (floating and proportional control), go to the section valve sizing to determine the Cv needed for the application. To determine Cv , the following parameters must be identified:

• inlet pressure

• fluid temperature

• fluid specific gravity

• fluid flow rate in GPM (liquid) ... or

fluid flow rate in lbs./hr (steam)

2. Determine the Valve Control Form Required

The Control Form specifies the type of control action for the valve assembly. There are six different control forms. Form VB specifies the valve body only. Determine the desired Control Form for the valve assembly in your application from the table below.

3. Determine the Required Cv

For Control Form VA and VC (ON-OFF), Cv value does not affect valve body selection. Use the largest Cv available in the desired pipe size to size the valve.

4. Select the Valve Body

For Control Form VA or VC (ON-OFF), use the criteria identified in (1.) above to select the desired valve body. Make sure the valve body selected has a pressure rating suitable to the fluid pressure. Specify the largest Cv rating in the desired pipe or tubing size for that selected valve body. Remember that ON-OFF control action requires an electric actuator that uses the stem-up open version of the valve body only. If the selected electric actuator is a spring return type, the valve can be configured normally open or normally closed as determined by assembly of the actuator linkage.

For Control Form VF (floating), only an electric actuator and only the stem-up open version of the valve body that meets the application criteria may be used. Make sure the valve body has a pressure rating equal to or greater than the fluid pressure. For the chosen valve body, select a valve size (PP code) for which Cv is nearest to the Cv determined from valve sizing. In some cases this choice may require the piping size to be reduced to fit the selected valve.

For Control Form VP or VS (proportional control applications) using electric actuators, you may select only the stem-up open version of the valve body that meets the application criteria (stem-up closed actuators require a hydraulic actuator). Make sure the valve body selected has a pressure rating equal to or greater than the fluid pressure. If the selected actuator is a spring return type, the valve can be configured normally open or normally closed as determined by the selection of the actuator. For the chosen valve body, select a valve size (PP code) for which Cv is nearest to the Cv determined from valve sizing. In some cases this choice may require the piping size to be reduced to fit the selected valve.

For Control Form VP or VS (proportional control applications) using electric actuators, you may select only the stem-up open version of the valve body that meets the application criteria (stem-up closed actuators require a hydraulic actuator). Make sure the valve body selected has a pressure rating equal to or greater than the fluid pressure. If the selected actuator is a spring return type, the valve can be configured normally open or normally closed as determined by the selection of the actuator. For the chosen valve body, select a valve size (PP code) for which Cv is nearest to the Cv determined from valve sizing. In some cases this choice may require the piping size to be reduced to fit the selected valve.

5. Select the Actuator

For the chosen Control Form, consult the actuator selection table on page 5–18 for an overview of the actuator types, control action, torque and travel time to assist in determining the full actuator specification. Note that there are many models of actuators available from the company in our catalog, but only those with 180° of travel and those with available linkage kits may be used for control of our valves.

Control Form VA

Electric Rotary Actuator, two position with spring return and single contact input
For an electric actuator with two-position ON-OFF control action and spring return, select the EA12 actuator. The EA12 may be configured for normally open or normally closed operation by the selection of the appropriate actuator linkage. Check the close-off pressure table on page 5–22 to determine if the EA12 actuators have enough torque to shut the valve gainst the expected inlet pressure criteria at the valve size selected. Check any temperature restrictions on use of this actuator as noted on the temperature tables.

Control Form VC

Electric Rotary Actuator, two position with non-spring return and single contact input
For an electric actuator with two-position ON-OFF control action and non-spring return, select the EA31 actuator. Check the close-off pressure table on page 5–22 to determine if the EA31 actuators have enough torque to shut the valve against the expected inlet pressure criteria at the valve size selected. Check any temperature restrictions on use of this actuator as noted on the temperature tables.

Control Form VF

Electric Linear Actuator, floating control with non-spring return and dual contact input
For floating control action the MF-63103 or MF-63123 actuator style must be selected. Check the close-off pressure table to determine if these actuators have enough force to shut the valve against the expected inlet pressure criteria at the valve size selected. This pressure rating must be higher than the fluid inlet pressure in the application criteria. Also check any temperature restrictions on use of this actuator as noted on the temperature tables.

Control Form VP

Electric Rotary Actuator, proportional control with slidewire feedback, spring return and dual contact input. Note that floating control action can be accomplished in Control Form VP if slidewire feedback is ignored.

For spring return proportional control action, the box style Model EA42 or EA44 low torque electric actuators may be used.

These actuators may be configured for normally open or normally closed operation by the assembly of the appropriate actuator linkage. Check the close-off pressure table to determine if the EA4x actuator has enough torque to shut the valve against the expected inlet pressure criteria at the valve size selected. This pressure rating must be higher than the fluid inlet pressure in the application criteria. Also check any temperature restrictions on use of this actuator as noted on the temperature tables.

Electric Rotary Actuator, proportional control with slidewire feedback, non-spring return, dual contact input

For proportional control action with non-spring return, the medium torque models EA52, EA54, EA56 and EA58 and high torque EA76 electric actuators with dual contact input may be used. Check the close-off pressure tables on page 5–22 to 5–24 to determine if the EA5x or EA76 actuator has enough torque to shut the valve against the expected inlet pressure criteria at the valve size selected. This pressure rating must be higher than the fluid inlet pressure in the application criteria. Also check any temperature restrictions on use of this actuator as noted on the temperature tables. Check the close-off pressure table to determine if the EA42-A or EA44-A actuators have enough torque to shut the valve against the expected inlet pressure criteria at the valve size selected.

Control Form VS

Electric Rotary Actuator, proportional control, spring return, analog input
The new EAxx-A Series of box style actuators with integral microprocessor based electronics is available with analog input and switch selectable 180° stroke. The EA42-A and EA44-A are low torque spring return actuators and are selected for normally open or normally closed operation. Check any temperature restrictions on use of this actuator as noted on the temperature tables.

Electric Rotary Actuator, proportional control, nonspring return, analog input

The new EAxx-A Series of box style actuators with integral microprocessor based electronics is also available in non-spring return versions. The EA52-A, EA54-A, EA56-A and EA58-A medium torque actuators and EA76-A high torque actuators have non-spring return action and accept analog input signals. Check the close-off pressure table to determine if the EAxx-A actuators have enough torque to shut the valve against the expected inlet pressure criteria at the valve size selected. This pressure rating must be higher than the fluid inlet pressure in the application criteria. Also check any temperature restrictions on use of this actuator as noted on the temperature tables.

Electric Linear Actuator, floating control with nonspring return and optional analog input

The MF-63123 non-spring return linear stroke electric actuator with floating input (Control Form VF) may be converted to an analog input actuator (Control Form VS) by the addition of an optional analog input card (MFC-420 for current or MFC-8000 for voltage). Check the close-off pressure table to determine if the MF-63123 actuator with analog input has enough torque to shut the valve against the expected inlet pressure criteria at the valve size selected. This pressure rating must be higher than the fluid inlet pressure in the application criteria. Also check any temperature restrictions on use of this actuator as noted on the temperature tables.

Options

Note that options can be specified in the actuator model code, even though they are not listed in the Actuator Selection Table. Unless noted as available factory assemblies in the Valve Assembly Tables commencing, selecting actuators with options requires that the actuator, valve body and linkage kit be purchased as separate items.

Control Form (VA, VC, VF, VP, VS). Only those entries in the column “Available factory assemblies” may be ordered as full assemblies. Note that the actuator received with this assembly must conform to the configuration of the actuator specified for that entry. Any other actuator configuration of options not specifically delineated cannot be ordered as a factory assembled valve. If the selected assembly is not listed as an available factory assembly, the valve assembly must be ordered as body, actuator and linkage components and assembled locally using the complete instructions provided with the linkage kit. When ordering the valve body, actuator and linkage separately, the full model numbers for these components must be specified (see the Actuators section of this catalog).

6. Select the Linkage Kit

The suitable valve/actuator combinations are listed in detail with part numbers in the Valve Assembly Tables. These tables provide the part number of the mechanical linkage kit that couples the selected actuator to the desired valve body for that application. The MF-63000 series, when used with 2" or smaller valves, requires no linkage.

7. Valve Assemblies vs. Valve Components

Once the valve body, actuator and linkage are selected, they can be ordered separately or they can be ordered fully assembled if the combination is an available factory valve assembly.

KISAH INSPIRATIF PROF DR HABIBIE..


Ini cerita saya ambil dari forum millis migas Indonesia kiriman Pak Hidayat. 

Buat Renungan saja. 

Fw: Kisah Inspiratif Prof Dr Habibie

Cerita dari Capt. Novianto Herupratomo

KUNJUNGAN BAPAK BJ HABIBIE


Kantor Manajemen Garuda Indonesia
Garuda City Complex, Bandara Soekarno-Hatta
12 Januari 2012

Pada usianya 74 tahun, mantan Presiden RI, BJ Habibie secara mendadak
mengunjungi fasilitas Garuda Indonesia didampingi oleh putra sulung, Ilham
Habibie dan keponakannya( ?), Adri Subono, juragan Java Musikindo.

Kunjungan beliau dan rombongan disambut oleh President CEO, Bapak Emirsyah Satar disertai seluruh Direksi dan para VP serta Area Manager yang sedang berada di Jakarta.

Dalam kunjungan ini, diputar video mengenai Garuda Indonesia Experience dan presentasi perjalanan kinerja Garuda Indonesia sejak tahun 2005 hingga tahun 2015 menuju Quantum Leap.

Sebagai balasanya pak Habibie memutarkan video tentang penerbangan perdana N250 di landasan bandara Husein Sastranegara, IPTN Bandung tahun 1995 (tujuh belas tahun yang lalu!).

Entah, apa pasalnya dengan memutar video ini?
Video N250 bernama Gatotkaca terlihat roll-out kemudian tinggal landas secara mulus di-escort oleh satu pesawat latih dan sebuah pesawat N235. Pesawat N250 jenis Turboprop dan teknologi glass cockpit dengan kapasitas 50 penumpang terus mengudara di angkasa Bandung.

Dalam video tsb, tampak para hadirin yang menyaksikan di pelataran parkir,
antara lain Presiden RI Bapak Soeharto dan ibu, Wapres RI bapak Soedarmono, para Menteri dan para pejabat teras Indonesia serta para teknisi IPTN. Semua bertepuk tangan dan mengumbar senyum kebanggaan atas keberhasilan kinerja N250. Bapak Presiden kemudian berbincang melalui radio komunikasi dengan pilot N250 yang di udara, terlihat pak Habibie mencoba mendekatkan telinganya di headset yang dipergunakan oleh Presiden Soeharto karena ingin ikut mendengar dengan pilot N250.

N250 sang Gatotkaca kembali pangkalan setelah melakukan pendaratan mulus di landasan.... ......... .....

Di hadapan kami, BJ Habibie yang berusia 74 tahun menyampaikan cerita yang lebih kurang sbb:
Dik, anda tahu........ ......saya ini lulus SMA tahun 1954!
beliau membuka pembicaraan dengan gayanya yang khas penuh semangat dan memanggil semua hadirin dengan kata Dik kemudian secara lancar beliau melanjutkan. ...
Presiden Soekarno, Bapak Proklamator RI, orator
paling unggul, ..itu sebenarnya memiliki visi yang luar biasa cemerlang! Ia
adalah Penyambung Lidah Rakyat! Ia tahu persis sebagai
Insinyur.........Indonesia dengan geografis ribuan pulau, memerlukan penguasaan Teknologi yang berwawasan nasional yakni Teknologi Maritim dan Teknologi Dirgantara. Kala itu, tak ada ITB dan tak ada UI. Para pelajar SMA unggulan berbondong-bondong disekolahkan oleh Presiden Soekarno ke luar negeri untuk menimba ilmu teknologi Maritim dan teknologi dirgantara. Saya adalah rombongan kedua diantara ratusan pelajar SMA yang secara khusus dikirim ke berbagai negara. Pendidikan kami di luar negeri itu bukan pendidikan kursus kilat tapi sekolah bertahun-tahun sambil bekerja praktek. Sejak awal saya hanya tertarik dengan "how to build commercial aircraft" bagi Indonesia. Jadi sebenarnya Pak Soeharto, Presiden RI kedua hanya melanjutkan saja program itu, beliau juga
bukan pencetus ide penerapan teknologi berwawasan nasional di Indonesia. Lantas kita bangun perusahaan-perusaha an strategis, ada PT PAL dan salah satunya adalah IPTN.

Sekarang Dik,........ ....anda semua lihat sendiri..... ......... N250 itu bukan
pesawat asal-asalan dibikin! Pesawat itu sudah terbang tanpa mengalami Dutch Roll (istilah penerbangan untuk pesawat yang oleng) berlebihan,tenologi pesawat itu sangat canggih dan dipersiapkan untuk 30 tahun kedepan, diperlukan waktu 5 tahun untuk melengkapi desain awal, satu-satunya pesawat turboprop di dunia yang mempergunakan teknologi Fly by Wire bahkan sampai hari ini. Rakyat dan negara kita ini membutuhkan itu! Pesawat itu sudah terbang 900 jam (saya lupa persisnya 900 atau 1900 jam) dan selangkah lagi masuk program sertifikasi FAA. IPTN membangun khusus pabrik pesawat N250 di Amerika dan Eropa untuk pasar negara-negara itu.Namun, orang Indonesia selalu saja gemar bersikap sinis dan mengejek diri sendiri apa mungkin orang Indonesia bikin pesawat
terbang?

Tiba-tiba, Presiden memutuskan agar IPTN ditutup dan begitu pula dengan industri strategis lainnya. Dik tahu........ ........di dunia ini hanya 3 negara yang menutup industri strategisnya, satu Jerman karena trauma dengan Nazi, lalu Cina (?) dan Indonesia... ......... .

Sekarang, semua tenaga ahli teknologi Indonesia terpaksa diusir dari negeri
sendiri dan mereka bertebaran di berbagai negara, khususnya pabrik pesawat di Bazil, Canada, Amerika dan Eropa....... .........

Hati siapa yang tidak sakit menyaksikan itu semua....... ......... .....?
Saya bilang ke Presiden, kasih saya uang 500 juta Dollar dan N250 akan menjadi pesawat yang terhebat yang mengalahkan ATR, Bombardier, Dornier, Embraer dll dan kita tak perlu tergantung dengan negara manapun.

Tapi keputusan telah diambil dan para karyawan IPTN yang berjumlah 16 ribu harus mengais rejeki di negeri orang dan gilanya lagi kita yang beli pesawat negara mereka!


Pak Habibie menghela nafas....... ......... .......


Ini pandangan saya mengenai cerita pak Habibie di atas;


Sekitar tahun 1995, saya ditugaskan oleh Manager Operasi (JKTOF) kala itu, Capt. Susatyawanto untuk masuk sebagai salah satu anggota tim Airline Working Group di IPTN dalam kaitan produksi pesawat jet sekelas B737 yang dikenal sebagai N2130
(kapasitas 130 penumpang). Saya bersyukur, akhirnya ditunjuk sebagai Co-Chairman Preliminary Flight Deck Design N2130 yang langsung bekerja dibawah kepala proyek N2130 adalah Ilham Habibie. Kala itu N250 sedang uji coba terus-menerus oleh penerbang test pilot (almarhum) Erwin. Saya turut mendesain rancang-bangun kokpit N2130 yang serba canggih berdasarkan pengetahuan teknis saat menerbangkan McDonnel Douglas MD11. Kokpit N2130 akan menjadi mirip MD11 dan merupakan kokpit
pesawat pertama di dunia yang mempergunakan LCD pada panel instrumen (bukan CRT sebagaimana kita lihat sekarang yang ada di pesawat B737NG). Sebagian besar fungsi tampilan layar di kokpit juga mempergunakan track ball atau touch pada sebagaimana kita lihat di laptop. N2130 juga merupakan pesawat jet single aisle dengan head room yang sangat besar yang memungkinkan penumpang memasuki tempat duduk tanpa perlu membungkukkan badan. Selain high speed sub-sonic, N2130
juga sangat efisien bahan bakar karena mempergunakan winglet, jauh sebelum
winglet dipergunakan di beberapa pesawat generasi masa kini.

Saya juga pernah menguji coba simulator N250 yang masih prototipe
pertama.....

N2130 narrow body jet engine dan N250 twin turboprop, keduanya sangat handal dan canggih kala itu......... bahkan hingga kini.

Lamunan saya ini, berkecamuk di dalam kepala manakala pak Habibie bercerita soal N250, saya memiliki kekecewaan yang yang sama dengan beliau, seandainya N2130 benar-benar lahir....... ......kita tak perlu susah-susah membeli B737 atau Airbus 320.

Pak Habibie melanjutkan pembicaraannya. ......... ......... .

Hal yang sama terjadi pada prototipe pesawat jet twin engines narrow body, itu saya tunjuk Ilham sebagai Kepala Proyek N2130. Ia bukan karena anak Habibie, tapi Ilham ini memang sekolah khusus mengenai manufakturing pesawat terbang, kalau saya sebenarnya hanya ahli dalam bidang metalurgi pesawat terbang. Kalau saja N2130 diteruskan, kita semua tak perlu tergantung dari Boeing dan Airbus untuk membangun jembatan udara di Indonesia.

Dik, dalam industri apapun kuncinya itu hanya satu QCD,

Q itu Quality, Dik, anda harus buat segala sesuatunya berkualitas tinggi dan konsisten.
C itu Cost, Dik, tekan harga serendah mungkin agar mampu bersaing dengan produsen sejenisâ
D itu Delivery, biasakan semua produksi dan outcome berkualitas tinggi dengan biaya paling efisien dan disampaikan tepat waktu!Itu saja!

Pak Habibie melanjutkan penjelasan tentang QCD sbb:

Kalau saya upamakan, Q itu nilainya 1, C nilainya juga 1 lantas D nilainya 1 pula, jika dijumlah maka menjadi 3. Tapi cara kerja QCD tidak begitu
Dik......... ....organisasi itu bekerja saling sinergi sehingga yang namanya QCD
itu bisa menjadi 300 atau 3000 atau bahkan 30.000 sangat tergantung bagaimana anda semua mengerjakannya, bekerjanya harus pakai hati Dik........

Tiba-tiba, pak Habibie seperti merenung sejenak mengingat-ingat sesuatu
............ ......... ......

Dik, ..........saya ini memulai segala sesuatunya dari bawah, sampai saya
ditunjuk menjadi Wakil Dirut perusahaan terkemuka di Jerman dan akhirnya menjadi Presiden RI, itu semua bukan kejadian tiba-tiba. Selama 48 tahun saya tidak pernah dipisahkan dengan Ainun, ...........ibu Ainun istri saya. Ia ikuti kemana saja saya pergi dengan penuh kasih sayang dan rasa sabar. Dik, kalian barangkali sudah biasa hidup terpisah dengan istri, you pergi dinas dan istri di rumah, tapi tidak dengan saya. Gini ya.......... ..saya mau kasih informasi... .
Saya ini baru tahu bahwa ibu Ainun mengidap kanker hanya 3 hari sebelumnya, tak pernah ada tanda-tanda dan tak pernah ada keluhan keluar dari ibu......... ......... ......

Pak Habibie menghela nafas panjang dan tampak sekali ia sangat emosional serta mengalami luka hati yang mendalam.... ......... ......... .......seisi ruangan
hening dan turut serta larut dalam emosi kepedihan pak Habibie, apalagi aku
tanpa terasa air mata mulai menggenang.

Dengan suara bergetar dan setengah terisak pak Habibie
melanjutkan. ......... ......... .....

Dik, kalian tau......... ........2 minggu setelah ditinggalkan
ibu......... ...suatu hari, saya pakai piyama tanpa alas kaki dan berjalan
mondar-mandir di ruang keluarga sendirian sambil memanggil-manggil nama
ibu......... Ainun....... .. Ainun ............ ..... Ainun ............ ..saya
mencari ibu di semua sudut rumah.

Para dokter yang melihat perkembangan saya sepeninggal ibu berpendapat
Habibie bisa mati dalam waktu 3 bulan jika terus begini...... ........
mereka bilang Kita (para dokter) harus tolong Habibie.

Para Dokter dari Jerman dan Indonesia berkumpul lalu saya diberinya 3 pilihan;
1. Pertama, saya harus dirawat, diberi obat khusus sampai saya dapat mandiri
meneruskan hidup. Artinya saya ini gila dan harus dirawat di Rumah Sakit Jiwa!
2. Opsi kedua, para dokter akan mengunjungi saya di rumah, saya harus berkonsultasi
terus-menerus dengan mereka dan saya harus mengkonsumsi obat khusus. Sama saja, artinya saya sudah gila dan harus diawasi terus....... ........
3. Opsi ketiga, saya disuruh mereka untuk menuliskan apa saja mengenai Ainun, anggaplah saya bercerita dengan Ainun seolah ibu masih hidup.

Saya pilih opsi yang ketiga...... ......... ......... ....
Tiba-tiba, pak Habibie seperti teringat sesuatu (kita yang biasa mendengarkan
beliau juga pasti maklum bahwa gaya bicara pak Habibie seperti meloncat
kesana-kemari dan kadang terputus karena proses berpikir beliau sepertinya lebih cepat dibandingkan kecepatan berbicara dalam menyampaikan sesuatu)
............ ......... . ia melanjutkan pembicaraannya;

Dik, hari ini persis 600 hari saya ditinggal Ainun....... .......dan hari ini
persis 597 hari Garuda Indonesia menjemput dan memulangkan ibu Ainun dari Jerman ke tanah air Indonesia... ......... .

Saya tidak mau menyampaikan ucapan terima kasih melalui surat....... ...... saya menunggu hari baik, berminggu-minggu dan berbulan-bulan untuk mencari momen yang tepat guna menyampaikan isi hati saya. Hari ini didampingi anak saya Ilham dan keponakan saya, Adri maka saya, Habibie atas nama seluruh keluarga besar Habibie mengucapkan terima kasih sebesar-besarnya, kalian, Garuda Indonesia telah mengirimkan sebuah Boeing B747-400 untuk menjemput kami di Jerman dan memulangkan ibu Ainun ke tanah air bahkan memakamkannya di Taman Makam Pahlawan.
Sungguh suatu kehormatan besar bagi kami sekeluarga. Sekali lagi, saya
mengucapkan terima kasih atas bantuan Garuda Indonesia

Seluruh hadirin terhenyak dan saya tak kuasa lagi membendung air
mata........ ......... ......... ....

Setelah jeda beberapa waktu, pak Habibie melanjutkan pembicaraannya;
Dik, sebegitu banyak ungkapan isi hati kepada Ainun, lalu beberapa kerabat menyarankan agar semua tulisan saya dibukukan saja, dan saya
menyetujui.. ......... ......... .

Buku itu sebenarnya bercerita tentang jalinan kasih antara dua anak manusia. Tak ada unsur kesukuan, agama, atau ras tertentu. Isi buku ini sangat universal, dengan muatan budaya nasional Indonesia. Sekarang buku ini atas permintaan banyak orang telah diterjemahkan ke beberapa bahasa, antara lain Inggris, Arab, Jepang..... (saya lupa persisnya, namun pak Habibie menyebut 4 atau 5 bahasa asing).Sayangnya buku ini hanya dijual di satu toko buku (pak Habibie menyebut nama satu toko buku besar), sudah dicetak 75.000 eksemplar dan langsung habis.
Banyak orang yang ingin membaca buku ini tapi tak tahu dimana belinya. Beberapa orang di daerah di luar kota besar di Indonesia juga mengeluhkan dimana bisa beli buku ini di kota mereka.

Dik, asal you tahu........ ....semua uang hasil penjualan buku ini tak satu
rupiahpun untuk memperkaya Habibie atau keluarga Habibie. Semua uang hasil penjualan buku ini dimasukkan ke rekening Yayasan yang dibentuk oleh saya dan ibu Ainun untuk menyantuni orang cacat, salah satunya adalah para penyandang tuna netra. Kasihan mereka ini sesungguhnya bisa bekerja dengan nyaman jika bisa melihat.

Saya berikan diskon 30% bagi pembeli buku yang jumlah besar bahkan saya
tambahkan lagi diskon 10% bagi mereka karena saya tahu, mereka membeli banyak buku pasti untuk dijual kembali ke yang lain.

Sekali lagi, buku ini kisah kasih universal anak manusia dari sejak tidak punya
apa-apa sampai menjadi Presiden Republik Indonesia dan Ibu Negara. Isinya sangat inspiratif.. ......... ........

(pada kesempatan ini pak Habibie meminta sesuatu dari Garuda Indonesia namun tidak saya tuliskan di sini mengingat hal ini masalah kedinasan).

Saya menuliskan kembali pertemuan pak BJ Habibie dengan jajaran Garuda Indonesia karena banyak kisah inspiratif dari obrolan tersebut yang barangkali berguna bagi siapapun yang tidak sempat menghadiri pertemuan tsb. Sekaligus mohon maaf jika ada kekurangan penulisan disana-sini karena tulisan ini disusun berdasarkan ingatan tanpa catatan maupun rekaman apapun.

Jakarta, 12 Januari 2012
Salam,
Capt. Novianto Herupratomo


======================================================================


Cukup mengharukan sekali cerita ini dan tak terasa pun air mataku menetes..
