PT Rekayasa Daya Mamuju (RDM), a subsidiary of PT Rekayasa Industri (Rekind), is facing a very challenging situation and condition. As a vital entity that supplies electricity to PT PLN (Persero) in the West Sulawesi region, RDM’s performance has experienced a significant decline due to pressure from various external and internal factors. The two main challenges faced are the disruption of coal supply and the condition of equipment that hinders the operational efficiency of the power plant.

This situation has caused RDM’s financial performance to continue to record losses. This decline not only has an impact on operations, but also raises concerns about the sustainability of its business in the future. This fact cannot be ignored. It must be a starting point for conducting an in-depth evaluation and formulating concrete and measurable rescue steps.

 

As a form of quick and serious response, Rekind management initiated a Forum Group Discussion (FGD) to dissect the root of the problem and prepare a strategic plan for RDM’s recovery. This activity took place on Monday (5/5) at the Rekind Head Office, Kalibata, South Jakarta, and was led directly by the President Director of PT Rekayasa Industri, Triyani Utaminingsih.

Also present at the important forum were Director of Finance and HR Dedy Rinaldi, Director of Operations & Development/Technology Rekind Yusairi, Acting President Director of RDM Adi Septiadi, Director of Operations RDM Dwi Riyanto, and representatives of management from both entities.

In her remarks, Triyani Utaminingsih emphasized the importance of this forum as a momentum for consolidation and determining the strategic direction of RDM’s recovery. She hopes that the results of this discussion will not stop at the conceptual level, but will be able to produce a clear, structured action plan that can be immediately executed to restore RDM’s performance, both in terms of operations and finances.

“We all hope that there will be a concrete action plan – which can be implemented immediately in the near future – to restore RDM’s operational performance and stabilize its finances,” she said firmly

In the forum, there were two strategic agendas that were the main focus of the discussion. First, a comprehensive evaluation of the operational status of the RDM Steam Power Plant (PLTU). The discussion focused on identifying technical obstacles that have so far reduced the efficiency and reliability of the plant. Through an analytical and collaborative approach, it is hoped that this forum can produce short-term strategies that can be implemented immediately to maintain operational continuity until the divestment process is complete.

 

Second, a review of the company’s current financial condition. The focus is directed at preparing financial projections for 2025 – 2026 and identifying financial risks that could hinder the divestment process. According to Triyani Utaminingsih, financial recovery must be built through a number of steps such as cost efficiency, fixed expense control, and cash flow optimization.

“We must formulate a realistic and directly impactful financial recovery strategy. This includes operational efficiency, strict expenditure management, and careful cash flow management. This is not just about saving one entity, but maintaining the stability of the entire Rekind Group Business ecosystem,” he said.
