Analysis Of Economic Order Quantity At “Awud Seleraku” Noodle Crackers MSME In Pagojengan Village, Paguyangan District, Brebes Regency

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the implementation and calculate the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ), Reorder Point (ROP), and Safety Stock (SS) at the “Awud Seleraku” Noodle Cracker MSME in Brebes Regengy, Central Java. MSMES play a strategic role, yet they frequently face challenges in inventory management. The MSMEs commonly find it difficult to predict the exact stock quantity required during order leading times. Stockouts lead to unfulfilled consumer demand, which diminishes trust and risks losing customers to competitors. On the other hand, excess stock increases operational costs, particularly for holding cost. This study calculated EOQ, ROP, and SS of the main raw materials including tapioca flour, salt, and food coloring over a one-year period (December 2024-November 2025). The implementation of EOQ, ROP, and Safety Stock concepts is expected to provide optimum quantity and timing recommendations for orders to minimize inventory costs, maintain smooth production, and enhance business efficiency and competitiveness of “Awud Seleraku” Noodle Cracker MSME.
