Manual management of palm oil harvest data often resulted in data inconsistencies, low operational efficiency, and financial losses for plantation companies. To address these challenges, this study aimed to implement the Key Performance Indicator (KPI) method within a harvest monitoring information system at PT Perkebunan Nusantara (PTPN; Nusantara Plantation Company, Ltd) IV Regional II Unit Adolina, with the goal of enhancing data accuracy, transparency, and managerial effectiveness. A quantitative research approach was employed, utilizing data collection techniques such as observation, interviews, and document analysis. Five out of ten afdeling units were selected as research samples. The performance was assessed using three primary indicators: total harvest yield (weighted at 40%), labour productivity (35%), and monthly harvest frequency (25%). The results revealed significant variations in KPI achievement across afdeling units, with several units exceeding the established targets. Furthermore, the developed system featured an interactive visual dashboard that enabled managers to monitor performance in real time and supported data-driven decision-making. Compared to traditional monitoring tools, this system offered enhanced integration of performance metrics, automated data processing, and real-time analytics, addressing previous limitations such as delayed reporting and fragmented data sources. In conclusion, the integration of KPI into the harvest monitoring information system proved to be effective in providing objective and measurable performance evaluation. This approach offered a strategic solution for improving operational efficiency and productivity in palm oil plantation management.
