Data dianalisis menggunakan analisis deskriptif untuk melihat upaya-upaya yang dilakukan distributor. Model EOQ digunakan untuk menentukan jumlah dan saat pemesanan yang tepat agar total biaya minimal. Model perputaran persediaan digunakan untuk menganalisis lama modal tersimpan dalam persediaan, dan model regresi non-linier sederhana diterapkan untuk melakukan peramalan penjualan. Kesimpulan penelitian adalah: (i) upaya-upaya distributor dalam mengeloia persediaan beras adalah pemesanan sebelum stok habis, pembayaran ke supplier setelah beras tiba, dan selalu jujur dan saling percaya; (ii) jumlah pemesanan distributor rata-rata adalah 304,18 ton, ketika persediaan rata-rata adalah sebanyak 9,34 ton, dan biaya total minimal rata-rata adalah Rp 9.869.222; (iii) perputaran persediaan beras minimal 6kali setahun; dan (iv) peramalan penjualan distributor bulanan untuk Januari hingga Juni tahun 2011 rata-rata sebanyak 56,38 ton, dan jumlah pemesanan periode dua bulanan rata-rata sebesar 112,69 ton.This study isaimed at analyzing the optimization ofrice provision at distributor level in Bau-BauMunicipality using the 2010 data as a basis for planning the provision in the following years.
