Abstract


Tjoekir Sugar Factory is one of the sugar factories located in Jombang Regency. As a producer of one of the 9 basic commodities, its resources need to always be managed so that they remain in optimal condition. This research aims to determine the level of company productivity, identify the factors that influence it, and determine efforts to improve it. The data used in the research are raw material input (amount of sugar cane, lime, phosphate, sulfur, flocculant), labor input, energy input, machine depreciation input, and the output produced (sugar, molasses, filter cake). To measure the productivity index, profitability index, and price improvement index, the American Productivity Center (APC) method is used and analyzed using fishbone diagrams. The calculation results from 2015 - 2019 show a decrease in the productivity index compared to the base period. The total productivity decline rates starting in 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019 were 98.90% (highest), 93.35% (lowest), 94.18% and 95.32, respectively. The average profitability index tends to increase, the highest total was in 2018 at 115.33%, while the lowest was in 2016 at 106.03%. The highest Price Improvement Index value was in 2018 at 1.22%, the lowest value was in 2016 at 1.09%. The decline in productivity is caused by several factors such as raw materials, labor, and machines. Increasing productivity can be achieved by improving the quality of incoming sugarcane raw materials through testing sugarcane quality, optimizing employee performance monitoring, and scheduling regular machine maintenance
