Improvement of Non-Business Development (NBD) Investment Proposal System Through a Pre-Proposal System at PT Pertamina Hulu Rokan

PT Pertamina Hulu Rokan has experienced a decline in net profit, while new work proposals and carry-over (CO) projects have continued to rise. This trend raises concerns about resource management and operational efficiency, requiring an effective solution. This research aims to develop a pre-proposal system using risk-based and workload analysis to prioritize and evaluate Non-Business Development (NBD) investment proposals. The system ensures alignment with strategic objectives and resource capacity. The study introduces a structured pre-proposal process to filter and prioritize proposals at an early stage. The system focuses on critical and feasible projects by applying risk and workload evaluations while reducing redundancies. The research aims to optimize decision-making and align investment proposals with corporate strategies. The methodology includes Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) simulations to analyze workflow inefficiencies and Focus Group Discussions (FGD) with stakeholders to refine the system. A trial of the pre-proposal tools for the 2026 Work Plan and Budget (RKAP) demonstrated their effectiveness in managing and prioritizing proposals. The results show that the pre-proposal system reduces incoming proposals from 299 work plans to 232 work plans, a 22.4% decrease. Proposals are categorized into P1 (very high priority) and P2 (high priority) for follow-up, ensuring resources are directed toward impactful projects. This research provides a practical framework for early-stage proposal assessment, enhancing decision-making and investment planning. The system demonstrates the potential to improve efficiency, reduce redundancies, and better align proposals with organizational goals, offering a valuable tool for managing future investment initiatives.
