However, only four of these root causes are in the context of discussion of this final project, namely: there is no identification of the nature of the use of PM, there is no reference about how the PM stocks must be maintained, the layout of the PM using randomized storage method, and warehouse capacity is only enough to meet during the activity in less than 3 days.
