The palm oil industry plays a vital role in Indonesia's development. As the world's largest CPO producer and exporter, Indonesia earns substantial gains in foreign currencies from palm oil, and its derivative trades bring stability and security to Indonesia's economy. Despite those significant benefits, the sector has drawn both national and international criticism for its negative environmental and social impact. This paper aims to conduct a systematic LCA evaluation guided by the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC 2015) methodology to establish an ecological profile of CPO production. A GHG Audit was conducted by using activity data derived from the company's record data and from other available literature. Following the methodology prescribed by the ISCC, this study found that 0.64 KgCO2eq is emitted per KgCPO produced. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study focuses on the characterization of traceability technologies to support lean logistics in small and medium-scale layer poultry farms. Alternative technology is the challenge of applying traceability technology to lean logistics in laying poultry farms. The problem is that adopting traceability technology must consider the exact technical specifications. The purpose of this research is the formulation of specifications of traceability technology to support lean logistics. The study results for design requirements are reasonable prices, good and complete harvest records, reusable, reliable, good and complete records to issue, easy to use, and quick for inventory calculations. Priorities for technical response are radio and electromagnetic signals, water resistance, resistance to dirty environments, wireless scanners or readers, sticker paper, large memory capacity, repeated recording, and user manual. Engineering economic analysis of the application of traceability technology for lean logistics can apply Benefit-Cost Analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
