This activity was carried out with the aim of designing and creating a multi-purpose machine that can carry out the cassava cutting and drying process in an integrated manner in one system. The development of this tool was motivated by the needs of home industry players to increase work efficiency and production capacity, especially in processing cassava into chips. The methodology applied includes the Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA) approach, the implementation of Standard Operational Procedures (SOP). The Cassava Slicing and Drying Machine in One Series resulted in a prototype machine with a 1:2 ratio of the original design. The main components made were a container with a capacity of 3 kg, a drying tube with a capacity of 3 kg so that it can make cassava slices with a consistent thickness of 1 mm and immediately dry them for 10 to 15 minutes through a heating system.
