IMPLEMENTATION OF STOCK-TAKING PROCEDURESPT KERETA API INDONESIA PERSERO DAOP 5 PURWOKERTO

Abstract

Stock-taking is an important aspect of inventory management that plays a role in ensuring data accuracy and operational efficiency of the company. PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) Daop 5 Purwokerto faces several challenges in implementing stock-taking, such as data discrepancies, error-prone manual recording, and lack of coordination between units. This research aims to evaluate the problems faced and propose information technology-based solutions to improve the effectiveness of the stock-taking process. The methods used in this research include direct observation during internship activities, interviews with employees involved in the stock-taking process, and data analysis of the results of the updated system implementation. The results show that the implementation of a more modern inventory information system can improve the accuracy of data recording, speed up the verification process, and reduce potential errors due to manual recording. In addition, employee training and regular meetings between work units contributed to improving understanding and coordination in the stock-taking process. The successful implementation of this program is supported by several factors, such as management commitment in supporting innovation, employee readiness in adapting to the new system, and the company's need to improve operational efficiency. However, there are still obstacles such as resistance to change and time constraints in the implementation of training. Therefore, continuous evaluation and improvement are needed so that this program can run more optimally in the future.
