Maintaining the quality of Susenas data is something that must really be considered and is a shared responsibility between the center and the regions. One strategy to maintain the quality of Susenas data is to carry out surveillance and inspection activities in stages starting from field officers. Supervisors who perform the supervisory function of the enumerator must go directly to the field, not just wait for the results of the enumeration without knowing the performance of the enumerator when interviewing respondents. Supervisors have a very important role as field coordinators. As a party that is directly related to the enumerator, the supervisor must be able and responsible for solving field problems, as well as being a resource person and coordinating the enumerator so that activities run according to procedures and on time. The moral hazard behavior of the enumerator, such as: disobeying the enumeration procedure, not carrying out a complete enumeration, changing respondents, changing the respondent's characteristics (age, marital status, educational status, etc.), and "counting on the table" is a big challenge for the enumerator. supervisor. The supervisor holds the first control function of the enumeration activities. Supervisors must be able to ensure that every stage of field activities can run according to Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) and according to a predetermined schedule.
