Abstract

This study evaluates the effectiveness of Distribution Requirements Planning (DRP) integrated with ARIMA time series forecasting to support delivery scheduling decisions and the determination of minimum inventory levels. As a representative case study, a 60-month sales series of Ultra-Pure Water was used to simulate fluctuating retail demand across the agent–depot network. The Augmented Dickey–Fuller test confirmed stationarity (p = 0.0142), allowing candidate ARIMA (p, 0, q) models to be evaluated using ACF/PACF and information criteria. The best model was ARIMA (1,0,1), which had the lowest Akaike Information Criterion and passed diagnostic tests (normal residuals, no autocorrelation, no heteroscedasticity), making it suitable for operational forecasting. Projection results indicated a stable demand pattern and yielded a safety stock threshold of 733.24 units/month (equivalent to 24.44 units/day) as a reference for inventory control. These findings demonstrate that the DRP–ARIMA integration can enhance supply reliability and distribution efficiency, particularly for subsidized goods such as 3 kg LPG, with practical implications for determining adaptive inventory levels, delivery routes and frequency, and upstream–downstream coordination. Theoretically, this study provides additional empirical evidence on the use of quantitative forecasting models to operationalize DRP in the energy sector, while also providing a foundation for replication in other critical commodities.

Abstract

The rapid growth of manufacturing demands continuous process improvement. This study examines a plastic manufacturing company’s Mouldshop, which has not met performance targets an average lead time of 52 days (target 50 days) and a 75% success rate (target 93%) and struggles to achieve the desired surface finish quality of plastic molds. An integrated Value Stream Mapping (VSM) and Six Sigma DMAIC approach is applied to visualize end-to-end process flows (VA/NNVA/NVA), quantify performance gaps, analyze root causes (Fishbone with the 4M Man, Machine, Material, Method), and design improvements. VSM reveals three dominant wastes defects, inappropriate processing, and waiting linked to six critical failure causes spanning operator capability and discipline; overloaded schedules, equipment failures, machining errors, temperature control, and precision instability; material selection and procurement delays; and shortcomings in work- instruction compliance, machining parameters, drawing completeness, and standardized process flow. Using 5W+1H within DMAIC, the study proposes: standardized machining instructions and setup times; preventive- maintenance schedules and checklists; incoming verification with PIC accountability; structured training; mold quality checklists; weekly 5S/5R audits; and Future State Mapping to reduce NNVA/NVA. The integrated DMAIC–VSM roadmap is expected to shorten lead time, raise the value-added ratio, and improve surface finish quality, offering a transferable blueprint for similar manufacturing operations.
