To achieve this objective, the research employs methods that include field observations and interviews with business operators, allowing the researcher to understand the production processes and management practices implemented in this venture. The research results show that the brick-making business in Muara Pijoan Village is managed efficiently, producing 20,000-40,000 bricks per cycle with a net profit of around 30%. Monthly operational costs reach Rp 10,000,000, including excavator rental and employee meals. This business is considered feasible, with the initial capital of Rp 40,000,000 already paid off, and its strategic location supports easy access.
