RM.id Rakyat Merdeka – University Trisakti carried out Community Service (Community Service) activities for the 2026 Regional Development Scheme in Ciambar Village, Ciambar District, Sukabumi Regency, West Java. This activity is a community empowerment program that focuses on strengthening production, management, and marketing capacity based on local potential. This Community Service activity was chaired by Prof. Dr. Ir. Astri Rinanti, MT, IPM., ASEAN Eng., supported by a cross-disciplinary team of members consisting of Dr. Ir. Rini Setiati, MT, IPU., ASEAN Eng., Dr. B. Medina Nilasari, SE, MM, and Ari Apriani, SE, MM This scientific collaboration covers the fields of Petroleum Engineering, Human Resource Management, and Marketing Management. Actively participating were four University Trisakti students who were members of the BIMA Community Service group, namely Arsya Akbar Alghifari (Faculty of Landscape Architecture and Environmental Technology/FALTL), Nadya Bunga Permata Putri (FALTL), Ardiansyah Guntur Saputra (Faculty of Earth and Energy Technology/FTKE), Syaridah Faradillah (FTKE). The implementation of Community Service activities in Ciambar Village received a warm welcome from local government officials and community leaders. Present at the activity were the Head of Ciambar Village Suparkah, S.Pd., the Head of the Harapan Makmur Farmers Group of Ciambar Village Abdul Halim, S.Pd. as Partner Group I, the Head of the Ciambar Village Youth Organization Dzulzikri as Partner Group Group II, and the community within the Ciambar Village. Both partners demonstrated great strategic potential through a spirit of collaboration and openness to innovation. This potential is supported by the availability of abundant local raw materials and full support from the village government. This program is considered to have significant potential to gradually and integratedly increase production, management, and marketing capacity by utilizing simple and applicable appropriate technology. Through training, mentoring, and the sustainable use of digital platforms, it is hoped that this will encourage the independence of these groups’ businesses. Based on field identification results, several priority issues are faced by both partners. The main problems are the ineffective utilization of cassava peel waste as a raw material with economic value, the absence of a documented and integrated production and financial system, and the lack of a data- and technology-based marketing strategy. In addition, a lack of technical skills, low human resource capacity, and the absence of a digital system for recording and evaluating sales are obstacles to business development. Addressing these issues, the program implementation in Partner Group I and Partner Group II focused on strengthening production and management aspects. The series of activities carried out included counseling on the potential of cassava peel, a demonstration of waste processing using a Biocrusher, technical training on making biobriquettes and animal feed, assistance with the use of production equipment, assistance with production efficiency, training in preparing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), assistance with workflow and task division, and basic managerial training. The next stage involved technical training in biobriquette and feed production using application and simulation methods. Partners were directly involved in the production process so that the knowledge gained was not only theoretical. After the training, assistance was provided in the use of production equipment to improve operators’ skills in operating the equipment. The series of technologies planned and implemented in this program included a cassava peel shredder, a feed fermentation tool, a biobriquette mold, a flour mill, a drying rack, a digital scale, and other supporting equipment. To support production sustainability, this Community Service was equipped with supporting equipment in the form of two 1,000 kg capacity compost shredders, two 200 kg capacity compost shredders, one disk mill, and one 5-rack oven dryer. The assistance was then directed at production process efficiency. The beneficiary partners, together with the Community Service team, evaluated the work process and identified necessary improvements. Thus, the applied technology was not only aimed at producing products, but also at building partners’ understanding of the use of tools and a more structured production process. In the next activity, the beneficiary partners and the Community Service team developed a workflow and division of tasks through structured discussions and work observations. This stage aims to ensure that each member understands their respective roles and that production activities can be carried out in a more organized manner. Management strengthening was continued through basic managerial training using the work team management simulation method. Partner Group I and Partner Group II learned about shift management and work teams, thus beginning to form an understanding of human resource management in the production process.
