Inventory Management Optimization in Industrial Kitchen Equipment Using a Stochastic Modeling Approach

Öz

This study investigates the optimization of inventory management processes in an industrial kitchen equipment company by employing stochastic modeling techniques. Effective inventory control is critical for maintaining service continuity, minimizing operational costs, and improving customer satisfaction, particularly in technical service operations characterized by uncertain demand and variable lead times. The study utilizes 36 months of ERP data, including spare-part demand records, lead times, and service operation information. Demand behavior was modeled using the Poisson distribution, while lead-time uncertainty was represented through the Exponential distribution. An ABC analysis was conducted to identify critical spare parts, and inventory control parameters such as Reorder Point (ROP) and Safety Stock (SS) were determined under predefined service-level targets. Furthermore, a Monte Carlo-based discrete event simulation was developed to evaluate system performance under stochastic conditions. The results indicate that the proposed approach effectively reduces stockout risk, improves service levels, and supports more reliable inventory decisions. The developed model provides a practical and sustainable decision-support framework for spare-parts inventory management in industrial service operations.
