This study uses Inventory Record Accuracy (IRA) methods to measure the actual accuracy of materials usage records in Say Cheese. Then by ishikawa diagram, the root causes for these inaccuracies are defined. To resolve the the root causes, the solution are selected from solutions alternative using “Decision Matrix”. The results show the accuracy for recording the materials usage in Say Cheese is poor, mainly because the system for recording are still manual, relies heavily on the actions of people to do the recording. Making a computerized system, that can be automatically convert the sales data into materials usage data is the solution for the inaccuracy problem. The solution implemented into four phases.
