The problem faced in the palm oil processing industry now is the instability of the Crude Palm Oil (CPO) yield. Begin from the condition of Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFB) in harvesting is carried out to the factory transportation, then during the production process. Both of these conditions are factors are considered to be the cause of the instability of the CPO yield. This study aims to identify the factors cause the instability of CPO yield in the palm oil industry, which is expected to help the palm oil industry to achieve the CPO yield target set in each company. Control Chart and Fishbone Diagram are used to find the factors cause CPO yield does not reach the target (instability). From the data collected for 2 weeks, the results show that CPO is not controlled by statistically. Causative factors include the quality of raw materials, production equipment and machinery, worker behavior, and environmental conditions.
