Abstract

PT. Kao Indonesia, a company engaged in the production and distribution of consumer goods, requires an efficient inventory management system to ensure a smooth and responsive sales process. One of the main challenges faced is the discrepancy between stock levels and market demand, which often leads to overstocking or stockouts and ultimately financial losses. This study aims to design and develop an inventory management system application that optimizes stock levels using a Genetic Algorithm (GA). The GA method is employed to determine the optimal inventory quantity by analyzing historical sales data and evaluating various stock-level scenarios to find the most efficient solution. The application was developed using the PHP programming language and a MySQL database. A case study at PT. Kao Indonesia involving sales and product inventory data over a specific period demonstrates that the system effectively enhances stock management efficiency, minimizes inventory discrepancies, and supports more accurate and data-driven decision-making in the company’s inventory management process.
