ANALISIS TATA LETAK GROUND SUPPORT EQUIPMENT (GSE) NON MOTORIZED PADA AREA EQUIPMENT STORAGE DI BANDAR UDARA INTERNASIONAL MINANGKABAU PADANG

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis tata letak Ground Support Equipment
(GSE) non-motorized pada Area Equipment Storage di Bandar Udara Internasional
Minangkabau Padang. Permasalahan utama yang ditemukan adalah penempatan
GSE yang kurang terorganisir akibat ketiadaan sistem pengelompokan atau
petunjuk penempatan yang jelas, serta kebiasaan penataan berdasarkan pengalaman
individu tanpa panduan tertulis. Kondisi ini mengakibatkan penggunaan ruang yang
tidak efisien serta berpotensi menurunkan tingkat keselamatan operasional di apron.
Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif dengan pendekatan
observasi lapangan, wawancara semi-terstruktur kepada petugas apron dan operator
GSE, serta studi dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa
ketidakteraturan penataan GSE dapat diminimalisir melalui penerapan zonasi area
penyimpanan yang sesuai standar serta penyusunan SOP penempatan GSE.
Rekomendasi yang diusulkan meliputi desain ulang layout area storage dengan
pertimbangan kapasitas apron dan kebutuhan operasional, serta peningkatan
pemahaman petugas terhadap pentingnya keteraturan penempatan GSE demi
kelancaran dan keselamatan operasional bandara.

This study aims to analyze the layout of Ground Support Equipment (GSE) in the
Equipment Storage Area at Minangkabau International Airport, Padang. The main
issue identified is the disorganized placement of GSE, resulting from the absence
of a clear grouping system or placement guidelines, as well as the common practice
of arranging equipment based on individual experience without written
instructions. This condition leads to inefficient use of space and potentially
compromises operational safety on the apron. The research employs a descriptive
qualitative method through field observations, semi-structured interviews with
apron personnel and GSE operators, and document analysis. The findings indicate
that the disorderly arrangement of GSE can be minimized by implementing
standardized storage area zoning and developing Standard Operating Procedures
(SOPs) for GSE placement. The proposed recommendations include redesigning
the storage layout by considering apron capacity and operational needs, as well as
enhancing personnel awareness regarding the importance of organized GSE
placement for the smooth and safe operation of airport activities.
