Abstract

This study addresses the issue of controlling the inventory of raw materials for pen production at PT. XYZ uses Material Requirement Planning (MRP) to minimize excess inventory. The MRP calculates net requirements, planned receipts, planned order releases, and projected on-hand inventory based on estimated demand, product structure, lot size, lead time, and safety stock.  The results categorize 20 raw material components for ballpoint pen products into five levels, determining the optimal quantity and timing for ordering and receiving each component to meet production plans while avoiding excess stock or shortages. This study concludes that the MRP method can significantly optimize inventory management, reducing the risks of overstock and stockouts in the pen production process at PT. XYZ. Consistent application of the MRP method and regular evaluation of supplier capabilities are recommended to ensure efficient and effective raw material inventory planning and control.

Abstract

Inventory plays an important role in a company's production process, especially in the sustainable manufacturing industry. The inventory of raw materials such as rayon, polyester, and cotton is an essential element that needs to be controlled to maintain a smooth production process. This research aims to plan and control raw materials through the min-max method, with a focus on evaluating inventory control to identify and overcome existing problems in the raw material warehouse at a yarn and textile manufacturing company. The results show that each type of raw material has a different reorder level, which guides the company in avoiding the risk of shortage or excess stock. By applying the right reorder level, the company can improve its production efficiency and inventory management. This research contributes to the practice of inventory control in the sustainable manufacturing industry, which supports operational stability and minimizes resource wastage. The implications of the findings could expand the application of min-max method-based inventory control in other industries to support operational sustainability.

Abstract

Efficient warehouse management is critical for make-to-order production systems. This study investigates waste reduction in a metal casting company’s finished-product warehouse by applying Lean Warehousing principles. Using time-motion studies, Value Stream Mapping (VSM), Pareto diagrams, and fishbone diagrams, the research analyzed 13 workstations and identified five primary areas of waste. Simulation results demonstrated a significant cycle time reduction from 2,559 to 2,128 seconds, alongside an increased proportion of value-added activities. Although limited to a simulation, the findings highlight the effectiveness of Lean tools in standardizing work and redesigning layouts. The study concludes that continuous monitoring and Lean implementation are essential for achieving sustainable operational efficiency and reducing costs in industrial warehousing.
