XYZ is a digital printing company which is located at Jl. Sunan Abinawa, Patebon District, Kendal Regency (in front of SMP 2 Patebon). Raw material inventory control in CV. XYZ still uses the manual calculation method.

This means that the raw material procurement policy carried out by CV. XYZ so far has not been efficient and has not shown minimum costs. While the inventory costs that have been issued by the company are still greater when compared to companies implementing raw material inventory control using the EOQ method. The total cost of inventory issued based on company policy is Rp. 14,899,999, while by using the EOQ calculation method the total inventory of paper raw materials can be made smaller, namely as much as 45.4 with orders 4 times a year.
