Abstract
Inventory control is an important factor in trading activities. Inventory control aims to ensure product availability. Several factors affect the level of inventory including the level of demand factor, maximum inventory, and the level of deterioration. If the influencing factors cannot be defined with certainty and follow a certain statistic distribution then the fuzzy probabilistic approach can be applied. This research discusses the problem of optimizing the inventory of red chillies at the retail level. The level of deterioration is assumed to follow an exponential distribution and demand follows a Pareto distribution. Statistical parameters are estimated using the Maximum likelihood method and cost parameters are expressed by triangular fuzzy numbers. Based on the calculation results for several beta values, the highest total cost is 405143.6 rupiah, a maximum inventory level of 15 kg, and an order cycle time of 0.923 days.
