Profil Manajemen Produksi Pengolahan Tbs Kelapa Sawit Di PT. Agro Muko Kecamatan Teras Terunjam Kabupaten Mukomuko

Abstract

The palm oil industry is a strategic sector in Indonesia, contributing significantly to foreign exchange earnings through the export of crude palm oil (CPO) and palm kernel oil (PKO). Palm oil mills (POMs) play an essential role in the value chain, particularly in processing Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFB) into higher-value products. This study aims to describe and analyze the production management of FFB processing at PT Agro Muko, Teras Terunjam District, Mukomuko Regency, focusing on planning, organizing, implementation, and supervision. The research was conducted in June 2023 using a purposive method. Data were collected through direct observation, interviews with the mill chief assistant, quality control staff, and supervisors, as well as a literature review. Descriptive analysis was applied to illustrate the implementation of management functions in the production process. The results indicate that PT Agro Muko implements effective production planning covering raw material management, technology, and human resources, supported by a processing capacity of 60 tons of FFB per hour. Organizing is conducted through task allocation based on production stations and a two-shift work system. The production process follows an integrated workflow from loading ramp, sterilization, threshing, pressing, clarification, to kernel processing, utilizing industry-standard technology to minimize oil losses and improve product quality. Supervision is carried out through quality monitoring, process control, and routine inspections at each station. Overall, the production management at PT Agro Muko is well-structured and effective, supporting efficient FFB processing and ensuring product quality in accordance with company standards.
