Inventory plays an important role in a company's production process, especially in the sustainable manufacturing industry. The inventory of raw materials such as rayon, polyester, and cotton is an essential element that needs to be controlled to maintain a smooth production process. This research aims to plan and control raw materials through the min-max method, with a focus on evaluating inventory control to identify and overcome existing problems in the raw material warehouse at a yarn and textile manufacturing company. The results show that each type of raw material has a different reorder level, which guides the company in avoiding the risk of shortage or excess stock. By applying the right reorder level, the company can improve its production efficiency and inventory management. This research contributes to the practice of inventory control in the sustainable manufacturing industry, which supports operational stability and minimizes resource wastage. The implications of the findings could expand the application of min-max method-based inventory control in other industries to support operational sustainability.
