Then, investigate the cause of the increase in the quality of palm oil with the Free Fatty Acid (FFA) parameter. Based on the results of the Crude Palm Oil (CPO) quality control chart, the number of samples for free fatty acid levels, according to the control chart Xbar = 2.1375 and Rbar = 1.2308, there are some data that are out of the control limit UCL = 2.7323, CL = 2.1375 LCL = 1.5427 after modification of Xbar and Rbar control chart. The results of observations show that in interviews and in the field there are five factors that affect the quality of Crude Palm Oil (CPO).
