Elshaddai. North Jakarta. This research uses quantitative methods with a population of 28 The data analysis technique used in this research is statistics. Meanwhile, the data was tested using the classic assumption test which contains validity tests, reliability tests and normality tests. Determining the results was carried out using a simple linear regression test, then continued with a hypothesis test containing a partial test . and a coefficient of determination test. The types of data used in research are primary data and secondary data. Then the data was processed using SPSS statistical analysis. The independent variable in this research is the just in time method, and the dependent variable is inventory control. The results of the research show that there is a significant and positive influence between the just in time method variables on inventory control of 53. 4% with an R2 value of 534, and based on the results of the t test carried out with the results of the analysis it is known that the t count of 5. 453 is greater than the t table of 2. 055 , then it can be concluded that H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted, which means that the just in time method variable (X) is significant to the inventory control variable (Y). Keywords: Just In Time. Inventory Control. Clothing Production. INTRODUCTION Inventory is one of the important aspects in the smooth running of a company's production activities to meet market demand and needs (Oktaviani et al. , 2. Therefore, companies must implement an appropriate raw material inventory system to avoid delays or excess inventory that can hinder and harm business operations (Oktaviani et al. , 2. An efficient inventory system plays a crucial role in maintaining the smooth running of a company's operations. One method that is often used to create an efficient inventory control system is Just In Time (JIT). This method has become common practice in various industries and is used to ensure the supply of raw materials in accordance with company policies and consumer demand (Adnyana & Sukadana, 2. The importance of a proper inventory system is also felt by CV Elsahaddai, a children's clothing production company operating in North Jakarta. Despite its efforts to manage its inventory. CV Elsahaddai still faces overstock problems that cause an increase in children's clothing production lead time between 4% and 128% of the initial estimate. This increase in lead time has the potential to cause delays in the production process and delivery of goods to customers. Observations show that the ideal lead time for the average production process is 2-3 weeks after the company receives an order. However, in reality this lead time increased to 3-4 weeks, which caused an increase in stock of 28. 30% from January to February. This overstock condition not only increases the risk of damage to goods, but also hampers storage space for new raw materials or products. So. an effort to overcome this problem. CV Elsahaddai uses the Gantt Chart method for inventory control. However, the evaluation results show that the Gantt Chart is less effective for managing inventory control in children's clothing production, because it is more suitable for projects with a clear and structured workflow. Therefore, the company switched to the Just In Time method as an effort to improve the inventory control system and reduce existing problems. Several studies support the implementation of JIT as an effective method in inventory control. study by Aprilianti and Hidaya . showed that JIT significantly increased production cost http://ojs. logistikindonesiajournal@gmail. com /logistikindonesiajournal@stiami.

Hahury et al. also found that the implementation of JIT had a positive effect on mineral water inventory control. However, it should be noted that not all studies show the same results. Aznedra & Safitri . found that the implementation of JIT did not provide significant benefits in inventory control or cost efficiency in certain companies. The scope of this research is limited to CV Elsahaddai in North Jakarta, with a focus on the influence of the Just Method. In Time on inventory control in children's clothing manufacturing The data used are primary data obtained directly from the original source without This study aims to analyze how much influence the Just Method has. In Time on inventory control at CV Elsahaddai. The benefits of this study include academic, practical, and policy aspects, and are expected to contribute to the development of science and business practices. The hypothesis proposed in this study is that there is a significant influence between the implementation of JIT and inventory control at CV Elsahaddai. North Jakarta. RESEARCH METHODS This study is associative with a focus on the causal relationship between the independent variable (Just In Tim. and the dependent variable . nventory contro. at CV Elshaddai. North Jakarta. The Just In Time (JIT) method is measured through four dimensions: Kanban control, lot size reduction. JIT scheduling, and setup time reduction. Inventory control is assessed based on safety stock, optimal inventory levels, order fulfillment accuracy, and customer satisfaction. Primary data were collected through questionnaires given to 28 employees relevant to inventory control and JIT, as well as through direct observation. The sampling technique used was Saturated Sampling, where the entire population was sampled. Data analysis includes validity tests, reliability tests, descriptive analysis, normality tests, and hypothesis tests . orrelation, coefficient of determination, simple linear regression, and partial The study took place from February to March 2024.

Results of the Correlation Coefficient and Determination Coefficient (R. Calculation Test Model Summaryb Model R R Square Predictors: (Constan. JIT Dependent Variable: PP Std. Error of the Adjusted R Square Estimate From the output above, the correlation coefficient (R) value is 0. This value shows that the influence of the Just In Time method on inventory control is very strong. While the determination coefficient value (R. is R2 = 0. 534, which means that the Just In Time method variable (X) can explain or explain inventory control (Y) by 53. 4%, the remaining 46. 6% . rom 100% - 53. 4%) is influenced by other variables that are not included in the model or equation in this study. Table 12. Simple Linear Test Results The value of a = 9. 534 is a constant. This means that if the variable of the Just In Time Method (X) is equal to <,001, then the inventory control (Y) is 9. It is known that the magnitude of the regression coefficient of the Just In Time Method (X) is 0. 738 with a positive value. These results indicate that every time there is an increase in the Just In Time Method (X) by one unit, it will be followed by an increase in inventory control (Y) by 0. 738 units, or vice versa if there is a decrease in the Just In Time Method (X) by one unit, it will be followed by a decrease in inventory control (Y) by 738 units. Table 13. t-Test Results Based on table 3. 13, the Just In Time Method variable has a t-count of 5. The t-table value which is the standard for making decisions on the hypothesis is sought by determining df. The df value = nk, n is the number of respondents and k are all variables in this study . f = nk = 28-2 = . , the ttable value is obtained at a significance level of 0. 05, which is 2. CONCLUSION Based on the results of the study, there is a significant and positive influence between the Just In Time (JIT) method and inventory control at CV. Elshaddai. The correlation coefficient (R) value of 730 indicates a fairly strong relationship, while the RA value of 53. 4% indicates that the JIT variable explains most of the variability in inventory control, with the rest influenced by other factors. The TSutandi (The Effect of Just in Time Method on Inventory Control in Children's Clothing. Jurnal Logistik Indonesia Vol. No. April 2024, pp. E-ISSN 2621-6442 test also shows that JIT significantly affects inventory control, where each one-unit increase in JIT increases inventory control by 0. 738 units. These results confirm that the implementation of JIT is effective in overcoming overstock problems and increasing inventory control efficiency in children's clothing production companies. REFERENCES
