Abstract

A wider application of the Integrated Planning Support Framework (IPSF) model can provide more practical basis for benchmarking of real case studies. This study is aimed to determine the opportunity loss and cost of excess inventory of fresh vegetables, the optimal inventory level, and the inventory management based on the types of distribution lead-time. An extensive observation over six-month supply chain tracking from several point of sales of fresh vegetables was conducted to employee the proposed IPSF. The result showed an inefficient supply chain due to an imbalance of customer service and inventory levels. Each tier within the supply chain indicated a dissimilar of inventory size that influenced the inventory decision of each tier. In further, it suggests that the losses of fresh vegetables in term of cost and quality could be reduced by using inventory balance and policies in levelling inventory.
