Vehicle manufacturing companies are among those that prioritize inventory management, especially wheels. Data on motorcycle wheel usage and inventory for 2024 shows that the company experienced an overstock of 3,743 units, or 5% of the total usage of 75,020 units in 2024. This was due to inventory planning that was still less than ideal. The Minimum-Maximum and Periodic Order Quantity (POQ) methods can be used by companies to control inventory efficiently, as these methods can help optimize quantities, ordering intervals, and reduce cost waste. Based on the results of calculations using both methods in the case study, it was found that the Total Inventory Cost using the POQ method was Rp. 554,921,669, which is much lower than the Min-Max method, which reached Rp. 2,438,024,040 or equivalent to 77.24%. These calculation results show that the POQ method is superior to the Min-Max method in determining order quantity, frequency, safety stock, and inventory costs. Through this research, it is hoped that companies can consider optimizing storage costs, reducing the risk of overstocking, and improving the efficiency of wheel component supply chain management based on the selected method.
