External Factors :
Policies need to be synchronized between central government and districht authorities.
• There are certain local regulations that become obstacles in the implementation of SVLK, especially due to the difficulties, in terms of complexity and cost, in getting such legal documents. For instance in getting environmental documents such as UKL-UPL.
• The limited number of registered FAKO administrator (Ganis) at Furniture cluster areas.
• There are still different perceptions among auditors in interpreting the SVLK standard.
