SOPs and Staff Training

     The SOPs are a systematic approach to oil palm management. Not all activities described will be agreed upon by everybody.
     However by making a checklist of the task that are required to be done within each activity and making programs based on those tasks we shall start on the path towards training staff in a systematic and logical approachtoward estate and divisional management.
     As mentioned above,each activity done on the estate is done by contract between the Estate Manager and the SOPs.The SOP is a guidance tool.
     In the introduction to training (next introductory SOP) we present a training approach that is based on key issues,which is then followed up with a checklist of tasksand relevant references in the SOPs.

SOP dan Struktur Perusahaan Sawit / SOP and Palm Oil Company Structure

Perkebunan sawit baru akan ditata dengan Strategic Business Units yg menghasilkan keuntungan bagi kebun. Setiap SBU memiliki seorang GM sebagai pimpinan dan bertangging jawab penuh  terhadap keuntungan SBU nya.
Karena itu semua program dikebun-kebun dikerjakan dengan kontrak antara Estate Manager dari GM. Sama halnya dengan semua kerjaan di divisi dikerjakan dengan kontrak antara Assistant dengan Estate Manager.
SOP ini disusun untuk keseragaman antara SBU.ini memungkinkan untuk :
- Pengertian menyeluruh antara operasional dan semua kebun.
- Perpindahan Staff antar SBU dan antar kebun-kebun.

The new Palm Oil Plantation is set up with Srategic Business Units producing the income For Plantation.Each business unit has a GM as head.The GM is responsible for the profitability of his SBU.
Thus all budgeting and programming of work on estate is done by contract between the Estate Manager and his GM. Likewise all work done on the divisions is done by contract between the Division Executive and his Estate Manager.
The SOPs are designed to introduce uniformity between the SBUs.This is to enable.
- Common understanding between Operations and all of the estates within Plantations.
- Mobility of personeel between SBUs and between estates.

Aspek Pendekatan

Ada banyak pendekatan dari management sawit yang sebagian pendekatan lebih baik dari yang lain.Namun demikian sangat penting pendekatan yang sistemis dan seragam secara menyeluruh dalam lingkungan perusahaan.
Banyak kebun di Indonesia tersebar pada rentang lingkungan yang berbeda seperti curah hujan,topography,jenis tanah dan juga lingkungan sosialnya. Dengan pertimbangan ini juga mungkin SOP (Standart Operasional Procedure) ini agak sedikit menyimpang.
Namun demikian SOP ini akan terus kami susun dengan menggunakan pengetahuan dan kemampuan yang profesional untuk membuat sistem management yg lebih baik di kebun-kebun.ini nantinya akan menjadi tugas semua jajaran pengelola kebun dari management yang atas sampai yang dibawah (field assistant) karena dia yang akan menemukan solusi dan tantangan utama di lapangan.

Faktor Absolute Dlam kultur Teknis / Absolute Technical culture factors In

Ada 2 faktor absolute dalam kultur teknis :
1. Pemakaian biaya akan terus meningkat
2. Nilai produksi akan relative rendah terhadap biaya produksi
Jadi sebagai seorang planter yang bijaksana harus terus berusaha untuk meningkatkan produktifitas perhektarnya dengan biaya yang seminimal mungkin.
Produktifitas dapat ditingkatkan dengan penanaman material yang baik,meningkatkan kesuburan tanah dan juga menerapkan kultur teknis yang bagus,dapat juga dilakukukan dengan perbaikan rendemen juga kwalitas minyak. Biaya yang efisien dapat diperbaiki dengan usaha yang konstan untuk menemukan cara yang lebih baik untuk menjaga prokduktifitas yang tinggi dengan biaya yang berbeda,artinya harus lebih efektive dalam segala hal yang dikerjakan.
There are 2 absolute factor in technical culture: 
1. Usage fees will continue to rise 
2. The value of production will be low relative to cost of production 
So as a wise planter must continually seek to improve its productivity /hectare with minimum cost. Productivity can be enhanced with a good planting material, improving soil fertility and also apply a good technical culture, can also be done by improving yield of oil quality as well. Cost-efficient can be improved with a constant effort to find better ways to keep productivity high and costs are different, meaning that should be more efektive in everything we do.

TUJUAN MANAGEMENT/MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES
