Abstract
This research aims to develop and assess an information system for managing daily operations in the palm oil plantation industry, specifically for PT Kaltim Utama Plantation I. As a crucial part of Indonesia's economy, the palm oil sector faces numerous operational challenges, such as tracking activities, monitoring resources, and generating accurate reports. The designed system focuses on enhancing processes like spraying, land clearing, fertilizing, and harvesting. The study utilizes the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) methodology, following the waterfall model, which includes the stages of analysis, design, implementation, testing, and maintenance. In the analysis phase, system requirements were identified to meet operational demands. The design phase involved creating workflows and data
structures to represent plantation operations. The outcome is a web-based information system prototype that streamlines management processes, centralizes data, and improves reporting precision. The system is aimed at simplifying information retrieval, increasing operational efficiency, and aiding decision-making. The implementation is expected to address operational inefficiencies at PT Kaltim Utama Plantation I by reducing manual processes. Additionally, the system includes data visualization tools to quickly evaluate plantation performance and offers scalable features for future growth.
