environments that meet or exceed customer
expectations or consumers / users. Tastes or
expectations of consumers on a product is always
changing, so that product quality should also be
changed or adjusted (Sunyowati et al., 2022). With
the change in product quality proficiency level, the
necessary changes or improvement of labour skills,
changes in production processes and tasks, as well as
the environment changes in a company /
organization so that products can meet or exceed
