INTRODUCTION
Government Regulation (PP) Number 7 of 2021 explains that Micro.
Small , and Medium Enterprises (MSME.
are productive businesses established and owned by individuals and/or sole proprietorships.
Businesses established and owned by individuals are better able to absorb labor even in remote areas.
This significantly helps people earn income without having to migrate to large cities.
Furthermore.
MSMEs are better able to adapt to the environment in which their products are produced.
Therefore.
MSMEs can support economic progress in Indonesia.
However.
MSMEs face challenges such as production quality and budget efficiency, which determine their competitiveness with larger companies and even imported products.
Therefore, the lack of sound production management can hinder the development of MSMEs.
Good production management occurs when management functions are implemented According to Karyoto .
, there are four management functions: .
These four functions are interrelated and can support the development of MSMEs.
Therefore, this study was conducted to examine the application of production management at the Nasya Produk Balikpapan MSME, a privately owned business supported by the Ministry of Industry.

Nasya Produk Balikpapan MSME is an individually owned business founded in 2020.
date, the MSME has produced bakery products and ready-to-eat foods such as onion sticks, onion chips, onion chili sauce, salted fish chili sauce, and anchovy and peanut sambal.
These products have official legality in the form of NIB.
P-IRT, and halal certification.
This MSME has a great opportunity to continue growing with support from the DKUMKMP office and Rumah BUMN Pertamina Balikpapan as its fostered MSME.
This research is in line with the research conducted by Patmarina et al.
who analyzed the implementation of " Home Industry Production Management in an Effort to Maintain the Existence of Efrata Cheese Stick Products" .
The study revealed that the implementation of the four management functions had been carried out, but there were two functions that were not optimal, namely the directing function and the controlling function.
This certainly impacted the production results of Efrata Cheese Stick products.
The research by Patmarina et al.
differs from this research.
This research focuses on businesses established and owned by individuals in the Balikpapan area.
The research is expected to be able to analyze the overall management functions so that it can provide an overview for business actors in making effective and efficient decisions and policies to support the development of the business itself.

, 2.

Karyoto .
, said that there are 4 management functions:
Planning Planning is applied to determine the goals to be achieved and the activities to be undertaken to achieve them.
A company with a good plan can achieve its goals effectively and efficiently.
Organizing ( Organizing ) Organizing is applied to group work into various activities.
By grouping tasks, workers can clearly understand the tasks they must complete.
Actuating Actuating or directing is applied to influence workers so that they are enthusiastic about working, so that they can provide good results and in accordance with the company's expectations.
Controlling Controlling is implemented as an effort to prevent or prevent errors in work that negatively impact results.
Management can exercise control by overseeing all company activities to inform decision-making.

Planning Nasha Product's first step in planning is analyzing market demand and predicting production needs.
Nasha Product's planning includes analyzing market demand, setting production goals, planning raw materials , scheduling production, and then monitoring .
Market demand analysis is carried out by analyzing sales in the previous month, then looking at market trends and production competition.
Production targets are determined based on market demand analysis.
Nasha Product sets monthly production targets, including production volume, product type, and delivery date.
Raw material planning is done by ordering the required raw materials including onions, chilies and other ingredients.
Production scheduling is done by creating a detailed schedule, including production date, production time, and production quantity.
Product monitoring is carried out to ensure that the products produced meet high quality standards.
Example of Nasha product's monthly production planning for chili sauce: .
January.
production of 200 bottles of chili sauce, with a sales target of 160 bottles.
February.
production of 250 bottles of chili sauce, with a sales target of 200 bottles.
March:
production of 300 bottles of chili sauce with a sales target of 240 bottles.
Then.
Nasha product also regularly monitors the stock of finished products and raw materials to ensure that they still have stock to meet market demand.
However, production planning can change depending on the market situation and conditions.
And they are always ready to make adjustments to production planning if necessary.
Organizing ( Organizing ) The Nasha Product MSME organizes its production process by involving several people.
However, these people are not permanent employees.
Only the owner and her husband are permanent employees of the MSME.
Furthermore, everything is determined by the owner, such as the availability of raw materials, which are purchased directly from the seller in a production-ready state, eliminating the need for additional personnel to prepare them.
This applies to the procurement process for raw materials such as onions and chilies, which are purchased ready to be processed.
Furthermore, in the packaging section, the owner usually involves local women for this process, but only on a freelance basis and not on a permanent basis.
Seeing this, it can be concluded that the organizational process at the Nasha Product MSME has been carried out but is not optimal because it is not permanent, so the owner.
Mrs.
Rahmaniar, still has to be directly involved in managing production, etc.
Actuating Mrs.
Rahmaniar, the owner of Nasha Product, is directly involved in handling production.
Although Mrs.
Rahmaniar and her husband are still permanent employees at the SME, the owner still ensures and provides direction to her husband and third parties if there are any differences in the raw material stock process from the standard.
In addition to direct supervision, the owner provides direct feedback to her husband and third parties, so that any problems can be resolved quickly and if work and production targets are achieved.

they can provide proper appreciation.
Thus, the implementation of the direction function at the Nasha Product SME is carried out optimally by the owner herself.
Controlling Control is carried out by Mrs.
Rahmaniar in several parts.
employee control.
raw material control.
product quality control.
First, the owner can control herself and her husband in the production process.
Then, the owner often involves mothers around her house in the packaging process.
However, this is freelance and not included in the category of permanent employees.
Second, the owner controls raw materials by monitoring quality, testing raw materials, storing raw materials properly, and monitoring stock.
The owner may experience difficulties in the raw material control stage.
These difficulties are in the form of quite large risks by involving third parties .
hili and onion seller.
who provide raw This occurs because the owner cannot immediately provide input if there is a difference in the quality of raw materials.
Finally, third, production quality control is carried out by monitoring the production process, product testing, product delivery, and product quality control.
Owner Ms.
Rahmaniar continues to maintain effective control.
However, the risk of raw material control is still limited because third parties .
hili and onion seller.
are not permanent employees.
Therefore, the owner cannot yet exert comprehensive control.
Conclusion The owner of the Nasha Product MSME has implemented all four production management However, the organization and control of raw materials are not yet optimal due to the lack of permanent employees in their respective fields.
Suggestion Nasha Product is an MSME fostered by the Department of Cooperatives and SMEs (DKUMKMP) and the state-owned enterprise Pertamina Balikpapan.
Therefore, this business has significant potential for future growth.
The author offers the following advice to MSME owners:
Organize by recruiting employees and assigning them to their respective fields.
Organization can help ensure a more focused production process.
Recruiting permanent employees to provide raw materials can make the owner more capable of controlling the quality of incoming raw materials.
Maintaining the implementation of other management functions that have been carried out in the form of planning and directing management.
