Low oil extraction rates OER have been observed nationwide since 1992 and the decline is continuing. Revenue losses to the whole industry have been very considerable. While many theories have been put forward on the reason for the decline no significant achievement has been made to date in reversing the trend. As is the case with most plantation companies Golden Hope has been similarly affected. This paper describe the methodology used in addressing this problem in one of oil mills. A practical problem-solving approach was adopted taking into account the prevailing local conditions. A team comprising members directly associated with the problem was formed to undertake the exercise. All major estate and oil mill operations were closely studied for a period of six months. Various root causes contributing to the low OER were identified and appropriate remedies were formulated for implementation. Suitable control systems were also instituted to ensure recommendations were implemented conscentiously. Following successful implementation of the recommendations a significant increase of more than 1.5 OER was realized.

Abstract

Low oil extraction rates OER have been observed nationwide since 1992 and the decline is continuing. Revenue losses to the whole industry have been very considerable. While many theories have been put forward on the reason for the decline no significant achievement has been made to date in reversing the trend. As is the case with most plantation companies Golden Hope has been similarly affected. This paper describe the methodology used in addressing this problem in one of oil mills. A practical problem-solving approach was adopted taking into account the prevailing local conditions. A team comprising members directly associated with the problem was formed to undertake the exercise. All major estate and oil mill operations were closely studied for a period of six months. Various root causes contributing to the low OER were identified and appropriate remedies were formulated for implementation. Suitable control systems were also instituted to ensure recommendations were implemented conscentiously. Following successful implementation of the recommendations a significant increase of more than 1.5 OER was realized.
