Penerapan Metode First In First Out (Fifo) Dalam Pengelolaan Persediaan Material Pada Bagian Logistik PT PLN (Persero) UP3 Makassar Selatan

Sari

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis penerapan metode First In First Out (FIFO) dalam pengelolaan persediaan material pada bagian logistik PT PLN (Persero) UP3 Makassar Selatan. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui wawancara dan dokumentasi, sedangkan analisis data dilakukan menggunakan model Miles dan Huberman yang meliputi reduksi data, penyajian data, serta penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa metode FIFO telah diterapkan pada proses penerimaan, penyimpanan, pencatatan, dan pengeluaran material sehingga mendukung pengendalian persediaan, menjaga kualitas material, serta mengurangi risiko penumpukan barang. Namun, penerapannya belum sepenuhnya optimal karena masih ditemukan kendala berupa keterbatasan kapasitas gudang, penataan material yang belum sepenuhnya mengikuti urutan kedatangan, dan pencatatan beberapa jenis material yang belum maksimal. 

This study aims to analyze the application of the First In First Out (FIFO) method in managing material inventory in the logistics department of PT PLN (Persero) UP3 South Makassar. The study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with data collection techniques through interviews and documentation, while data analysis is carried out using the Miles and Huberman model which includes data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that the FIFO method has been applied to the process of receiving, storing, recording, and issuing materials so as to support inventory control, maintain material quality, and reduce the risk of stockpiling. However, its implementation is not yet fully optimal because there are still obstacles such as limited warehouse capacity, material arrangement that does not fully follow the order of arrival, and recording of several types of materials that are not optimal.
