The objective of this paper is to develop a spreadsheet-based simulation methodology to evaluate the performance of a serial supply chain under different inventory position based ((r, Q) and (r, S)) and non-inventory position based (Fixed Order Quantity (FOQ) and Demand Flow Strategy (DFS)) periodic review inventory policies. The performance measures comprises of Fill Rate, Risk of Shortage, Bullwhip Effect and Total Cost of Supply Chain. An experimental study with four scenarios are carried out for two customer demand distributions under information sharing and no information sharing scenarios to determine performance measures in lost sales environment. The best performing inventory control policy for each scenario is found by conducting Grey Relational Analysis and the analysis show that one of non-inventory position based policy, FOQ is the better policy compared to other three policies.

PT. XYZ adalah perusahaan yang bergerak didalam pembuatan kemasan botol minum. Pendistribusian produk dilakukan PT XYZ menggunakan data historis berdasarkan jumlah permintaan pada tahun 2013 dan 2014. Data tersebut menunjukkan bahwa terjadinya perbedaan hasil. Tahun 2013 memiliki jumlah permintaan yang lebih rendah dari tahun 2014. Informasi terdapat bahwa perlu dilakukan pengevaluasian karena didalam rantai produksi terdapat bullwhip effect. Terdapat nilai bullwhip Effect menujukan bahwa nilai bullwhip effect untuk distributor Indomaret, Carrefour, dan rantai manufakturnya masing-masing sebesar 0,5303; 0,2967, dan 0,5114. Usulan perbaikan dapat diatasi yaitu dengan model Q yang berfungsi menggendalikan persediaan pada rantai pasok dengan metodeHadley-Within. Perhitungan pengendalian persediaan untuk distributor Indomaret, Carrefour, dan rantai manufakturnya masing-masing sebesar 1,0721; 1,100; dan 1,0714. Hasil dari perhitungan menujukan bahwa terjadi keseimbangan antara penjual dan pembeli sehingga biaya pun dapat dihematkan pada PT XYZ.   PT. XYZ Medan is manufacturing company that produce soft drinks of beverages in containers. In the product distribution system at PT. XYZ Medan, found that the number of orders based on the result of forecasting in 2013 lower than actual orders at distrbutor and manufacturer in 2014. Distorsion of information on this order can evaluate the indication of bullwhip effect in supply chain. Based on the result calculation of bullwhip effect, found that the value of bullwhip effect for Indomaret distributor, Carrefour, and supply chain of manufacturer each of 0,5303; 0,2967, and 0,5114. Proposed improvements to predominate bullwhip effect that is by doing inventory control policy with Q model using Hadley-Within approach. The value of bullwhip effect aftre doing inventory control policy for Indomaret distributor, Carrefour, and supply chain of manufacturer each of 1,0721; 1,100; dan 1,0714. The value of bullwhip effect which is close to one shows that the variance between the number of the order and the number of the demand nearly balanced so as to save the inventory cost at PT. XYZ Medan.
