The increasing demand for palm oil as a raw material for food and energy industries has driven the need for accurate forecasting methods to optimize palm oil production management. This study aims to forecast Crude Palm Oil (CPO) production at PTPN III Batang Toru Plantation using the Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) method. Monthly time series data from January 2020 to January 2024, including Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFB), loose fruit, and CPO yields, were analyzed to build the forecasting model. The Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) test confirmed that the data is stationary without differencing. Based on the ACF, PACF, and white noise tests, the ARIMA(1,0,1) model was identified as the best fit. The forecasting results indicated a potential increase in CPO production from January 2025 to December 2026. However, alternative models like CPOF showed poor accuracy, with a high MAPE of 442.12%, suggesting the need for further model refinement. Despite limitations, the ARIMA method remains effective for short-term forecasting and supports data-driven decision-making in the plantation sector.

Facility layout design is a challenging issue in an industry. UMKM Aneka Songkok is a multi-floor building consisting of several departments. Observations show that the placement of work areas does not take into account the relationships between work stations, does not optimise space utilisation, and has an unsystematic material flow. This causes various problems, such as increased material transfer distances and greater occupational safety risks. To address these issues, facility layout improvements are necessary to enhance production effectiveness and efficiency. This study aims to redesign the facility layout of UMKM Aneka Songkok using the Craft algorithm method to improve the layout design, making the facility layout more effective and efficient, thereby organising the production process and minimising material movement distances between workstations. The research results show a reduction in distance per production run of 109.35 m and a reduction in distance per day of production of 387.3 m. The proposed layout was selected because it reduces material movement distances and improves material flow.

This study presents a lightweight prototype designed to improve SSH brute-force defense by enabling collaborative IP blocking across multiple servers. The system integrates Fail2Ban with WebSocket to distribute banned IP addresses in real-time among trusted nodes eliminating the need for centralized infrastructure. The experiment was conducted on 3 virtual private servers (VPS), where one acted as the WebSocket server and the others as clients equipped with Fail2Ban. When an SSH brute-force attack is detected, the source IP is automatically shared across the network and blocked on all connected nodes. A qualitative observational approach was used to evaluate the system’s feasibility. Log data from the clients and server was analyzed to confirm the accuracy and consistency of IP synchronization. The results showed that banned IPs were propagated and enforced on all nodes within seconds of detection. These findings demonstrate the potential for decentralized, lightweight collaboration among SSH servers to enhance security without introducing complex infrastructure or external dependencies.
