The production facility layout plays a vital role in enhancing the operational performance of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). An SME in the Virgin Coconut Oil sector currently faces efficiency constraints due to an unorganized production flow. This Community Service Program (PKM) aims to redesign the SME's production facility layout to make it more effective, efficient, and compliant with sanitation standards. The implementation method consisted of three integrated stages: (1) field observation and problem identification, (2) designing a proposed layout using From-To Chart, Activity Relationship Chart and Activity Relationship Diagram instruments, and (3) socialization, design handover, and program evaluation. The result of this program is a new layout design featuring a U-shaped flow that minimizes material movement time while integrating ergonomic principles and work environment sanitation. Evaluation and feedback from the partner indicated a high level of acceptance, as the design successfully addressed the SME's operational needs. This redesigned layout is expected to serve as a strategic reference for related SMEs in optimizing production space and improving productivity sustainable.

The irrigated rice farming sector in Indonesia faces challenges of labour shortages and soaring production costs, which necessitate modernisation through mechanisation. However, the implementation of agricultural machinery and equipment is often hampered by low technological literacy and a lack of understanding of maintenance management at the farmer level. This community service activity aims to bridge the technical knowledge gap through outreach and education on strategies for the effective and efficient use of agricultural machinery. The method employed is a participatory approach involving lecturers as expert resource persons and students as field facilitators through four stages: problem identification, thematic education, field practice demonstrations, and evaluation. The results of the activity indicate that the transfer of knowledge regarding the three main pillars of mechanisation—appropriate effectiveness, operational efficiency, and maximisation of function—successfully shifted farmers’ mindset towards becoming professional technology managers. The application of appropriate operational patterns has been proven to reduce production costs by 25–30%.
