<![CDATA[This study aims to determine an appropriate inventory control policy for copper slag material by applying the safety stock (SS) and reorder point (ROP) methods at PT. XYZ. While previous studies have extensively discussed inventory control for main raw materials, this research specifically examines production support materials with highly fluctuating demand patterns in a continuous production system, which is a key novelty of this study. The research was conducted using a quantitative descriptive approach based on historical data of material usage and kiln operational activities from January to June 2025. The results demonstrate that material consumption is directly influenced by kiln operational intensity, rather than occurring randomly. The calculation yields a safety stock of 2,106.12 tons and a reorder point of 3,511.00 tons at a 95% service level. These values serve as an operational signal to prevent stockouts during lead times without causing excessive inventory levels. This study highlights that data-driven inventory management effectively enhances production system resilience against demand uncertainty in the cement industry.]]>
