Design of Inventory Management Information System Using Periodic Review Method

Abstract

Inventory management, especially those related to office equipment in an organization or company, is an important thing to do. Goods that are not managed properly have the potential to increase costs and inventory shortages. Inventory management is a solution to manage goods properly. Inventory management was then further developed using the periodic review method. This study discussed how the periodic review method is used to manage the needs of office stationery in universities. The waterfall method was chosen to be a reference in the development of information systems. The information system framework was divided into three parts, which consist of input, process, and output. The output of the information system was in the form of parameter information (R, s, S) for each item. The results of the study have shown that the periodic review method is very useful to use to make decisions about the right time and amount in determining the replenishment of goods in university.
