Raw material inventory control plays an important role in maintaining the smooth running of the company's processes. PT. Alfaraz Putra Mandiri (APM), as a chicken processing company, still controls frozen chicken inventory based on estimated production needs and company experience. The high frequency of orders also causes the company's inventory costs to increase. This study aims to analyze frozen chicken raw material inventory control using the company's method and the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) method, as well as to determine the company's safety stock, reorder point, and total inventory cost. The research method used is a case study with a quantitative descriptive approach. The research data used are procurement, sales, ordering costs, and storage costs in 2025. The results show that the company's method produces a high ordering frequency, which is 292 times in 2025. The company also has not used safety stock, reorder point, specifically. The results of calculations using the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) method show the optimal order quantity of 136.68 tons for each order with a frequency of 22 orders in one year. The Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) method also results in lower inventory costs than the company's method, making it considered more efficient in controlling frozen chicken inventory at PT. Alfaraz Putra Mandiri (APM).
