Implementasi Model EOQ dan Reorder Point sebagai Upaya Efisiensi Pengelolaan Persediaan UMKM Grind Now

This community service activity was conducted at Grind Now Coffee Bar, an MSME in Batam City’s food and beverage sector, to address challenges in managing raw material inventory, which often led to inaccurate stock records, shortages, and overstocking, affecting daily operations and efficiency. The program aimed to improve inventory management by applying the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) and Reorder Point (ROP) models, providing a systematic and measurable approach to procurement. Activities included detailed observation of operational practices, interviews with staff to understand current challenges, collection of data on raw material usage and purchasing patterns, and the implementation of a website-based inventory control system to streamline record-keeping and monitoring. The results showed that EOQ and ROP models helped determine optimal order quantities and appropriate reorder timing, while the inventory system improved organization, reduced errors, and enabled real-time stock monitoring. Overall, this intervention enhanced decision-making, promoted operational efficiency, and supported the sustainability and competitiveness of Grind Now Coffee Bar.
