Abstract : Flavor is an additional ingredient to enhance the taste of food and drinks. Following consumer desires by modifying flavors causes companies to use a make to order production strategy, so companies tend to accumulate inventory due to concerns about running out of stock of raw materials. The aim of this research is to determine optimum ordering and streamline raw material inventory costs. This research uses raw material data over a 12 months period. Total of 441 items were classified using the FSN-ABC method, then the category that contributed the highest inventory value was taken, fast moving A 30.37% (5 items), slow moving A 29.98% (12 items), and non moving A 18.96% (21 items). Continuous Review System (Q System or Q Model) and Periodic Review System (P System or P Model) are compared with the existing ones carried out by the company currently. The research results show that the application of the Q System can determine the minimum order quantity per order (EOQ), safety stock (SS), re-order point (ROP), and order frequency (F). The P System can determine the time between reviews (P), target inventory level (T), and safety stock (SS). Q System has differences with the existing: fast moving of 74.99%, slow moving of 69.92%, and non moving of 79.94%. P System has differences with the existing: fast moving 73.89%, slow moving 69.55%, and non moving 79.76%. Continuous Review System (Q System or Q Model) is recommended for application in the flavor industry to control raw materials.
