This research data is primary data obtained by researchers from questions posed to original sources and also observations of researchers at the location directly. The results of the study found that the quality control of raw and supporting materials was not good enough because the company was not able to maintain the quality standards and brands of materials set by using non-standard materials with lower quality levels. As for the feasibility of the storage warehouse, the control is quite good because the arrangement and placement of materials is orderly and the cleanliness of the warehouse and factory is quite well maintained.
