ABSTRACT
Inventory control is one of the critical activities in the industries in order to minimize the total inventory cost while fulfilling customer demand on time. Company Z is one of the companies which produce bread in Indonesia. The main problem in the company is the shortage of material due to no systematic inventory control system. To solve this problem, probabilistic economic order quantity (EOQ) was applied as a solution to eliminating the stock shortage in the storage. The objective of this paper was to determine the optimum order quantity for each type of flour in minimizing the total inventory cost. The result showed that by using the probabilistic EOQ, the optimum order quantity, reorder point, and the safety stock varied for five types of flour. This system resulted in the reduction of the ordering cost and the stock shortage cost up to 15.62% and 99.82% respectively. This model provided the saving for the total inventory cost up to 0.14% compared to the company's inventory system.

Recommendations
Robustness of Order-Up-to Policies in Lost-Sales Inventory Systems
We study an inventory system under periodic review when excess demand is lost. It is known Huh et al. 2009 that the best base-stock policy is asymptotically optimal as the lost-sales penalty cost parameter grows. We now show that this result is robust ...
An integrated replenishment and production control policy under inventory inaccuracy and time-delay
We model the robust control problem a production/inventory system with inaccurate inventory records and time-delay.A simplified optimal replenishment and production control policy is constructed based on dynamic programming.A robust replenishment and ...
Economic production quantity models for deteriorating items with price- and stock-dependent demand
Large piles of consumer goods displayed in a supermarket are often associated with on sale items to induce more sales and profits. In this paper, we first establish an economic production quantity (or EPQ) model for deteriorating items when the demand ...
