Application of the Fuzzy Time Series Model in Clothing Material Stock Forecasting

Abstract

The application of fuzzy time series is used to view the stock of clothing materials. As for the problem so far, CV Duta Express does not have a model for seeing the stock of complete materials in the warehouse, so the process is not optimal. This will have an impact on orders that come in at the same time and in large quantities. to avoid stock shortages, which resulted in the company experiencing losses. The purpose of this study is to make it easier to predict the stock of clothing materials and to be able to analyze every stock management at CV Duta Express with a fuzzy time series model. The variables used are stock needs, the amount of stock of school clothes, batik clothes, and pants. The research methodology in data collection consists of product type data from 2018–2021 at CV Duta Express Aceh Utara. Data analysis needs consist of school clothes, school pants, and clothes. Next, the fuzzy time series process determines the actual data is the type of school clothes, and what is forecast is sales for January 2018–2021 at the end of December. For a value of 1108 A2 fuzzification value, 172 A4 fuzzification value for batik clothes, and 894 pants with an A1 fuzzification value, then the value of the universe set used is U = [26, 323]. The value of forming a linguistic set is based on the length of the interval U3 = [111,153], U4 = [153,196], and U5 = [196,238]. The result of the fuzzification value from historical data for the value of 172 fuzzification is A4, for data of 133 fuzzification is A3. The formation of Fuzzy Logic Relationship (FLR) values for the period 1/7/2021 to 1/13/2021 is obtained from the data range A4=174 and range A3=125 in each period to be related. The results of forecasting with fuzzy time series testing at the end of December 2021 are 196 stocks of clothes that must be optimized in the following month. The test results in this study are to see if the error value using the AFER model is 0.4511% while the RMSE test value has an error value of 5.0199. After being calculated for the forecast every month, the average obtained for AFER is 0.50154 % and the RMSE is 9.86518.. Keywords : Forecasting, Fuzzy Time Series, stock
