The palm oil industry is an advanced industry that benefits the country's economic stability. However, working in the oil palm plantations is very challenging and the farmworkers are exposed to many risks when doing day-to-day work. Most of the work on the farm is still using manual tools. There are farm management and workers who do not want to use machine tools due to reasons such as high cost, difficult to maintain, and burdensome. This study used an observation method in oil palm plantations and interviews with field managers to collect information. Verification of a pre-action plan is made before developing the final action plan. As such, the model was proposed as a step towards increasing the use of machinery in oil palm plantations to help ease the workload that the workers are carrying.
