The Food & Beverage industry relies heavily on the availability and quality of fresh raw materials, making inventory management crucial. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the First-In, First-Out (FIFO) method in inventory management at PT K Hospitality Investment. The research design used a case study. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation, then analyzed descriptively and qualitatively to assess the implementation of the FIFO inventory method in inventory management. The results show that PT K Hospitality Investment adopts a strict chronological inventory system and issuance of goods based on the order of entry. The use of FIFO inventory is often supported by the FEFO (First-Expired, First-Out) technique. Integrated inventory control has contributed to the financial stability of PT K Hospitality Investment. When properly implemented, the FIFO method not only helps reduce waste and increase efficiency, but also supports the company's operational sustainability. Although the implementation has been successful, the company still faces challenges such as limited infrastructure, a manual recording system, sudden changes in trends or guest order volumes, and delays in supplier deliveries.

This study aims to analyze and compare rice inventory valuation using the FIFO, FEFO, and Average methods in determining the cost of goods sold (COGS) at UD. Rahayu Indah. This study uses a quantitative descriptive approach with a perpetual inventory recording system. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation from January to December 2024. The results show that each method produces different COGS values: the FIFO method produces the lowest COGS, followed by FEFO, while the Average method produces the highest COGS. This difference is influenced by cost allocation based on the order of goods in and out and price fluctuations during the production period. These findings indicate that the FIFO method is the most effective method to be applied at UD. Rahayu Indah because it reflects the logical physical flow of goods, supports cost efficiency, and increases the company's gross profit. In addition, this method is also in line with the company's operational characteristics, which have stable purchasing patterns and are in accordance with the principles of PSAK No. 14 on inventory. The results of this study are expected to assist UD. Rahayu Indah's management in determining an inventory valuation strategy that is efficient, accurate, and supports business sustainability.

This study aims to analyze the operational conditions of the raw material warehouse at PT Nutrition And Special Foods Division and evaluate the potential implementation of an Internet of things (IoT)-based warehouse management system (WMS) to improve the efficiency and accuracy of warehouse management. A descriptive qualitative approach was used, including field observations and interviews with several operators and warehouse staff. The findings indicate that the currently used manual system causes various obstacles, such as input errors, slow picking processes, and limited stock tracking capabilities. A simulation of WMS implementation using RFID and barcode technology showed significant improvements, including approximately 40% increase in picking  efficiency, around 90% improvement in stock recording accuracy, and a reduction of input errors by up to 85%. The application of this technology also supports real-time tracking using FIFO/FEFO methods and enhances visibility and decision-making in logistics operations. Thus, the integration of RFID, barcode, and QR code in WMS proves effective in transforming warehouse management into a faster, more accurate, and responsive system aligned with supply chain dynamics.

Inventory is a current asset that has a major role in the accounting cycle. Assyfa Farma Pharmacy is the business of an individual-owned dispensary that is developing in Mranggen District, Demak Regency. The problem faced by Assyfa Farma Pharmacy is that there is no minimum stock of goods because there is no warning that the stock will run out. The number of products that are almost entering the expiration date are on shelves and insecure data storage so that they have a very large risk of data being lost because it is stolen by irresponsible parties. This system will alert the user to the remaining stock of existing goods and the expiration date of the goods. The security of inventory processing data will be guaranteed with a password for users so that anyone cannot access the database. This inventory information system will be built with Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 programming language, Microsoft SQL Server 2000 as database and multi user network using FEFO method as goods storage method.
