Ouzen Anugerah Indonesia Muhammad Alif Yustio1. Ratih Puspasari2 1,2 Sistem Informasi. Universitas Potensi Utama. Medan. Indonesia Article Info Abstract Article history The rapid growth of the cosmetics industry has created intense competition among retail companies, including PT. Ouzen Anugerah Indonesia, which faces challenges in understanding consumer purchasing behavior due to the lack of systematic data analysis. This study aims to analyze consumer purchasing patterns and identify frequently purchased product combinations using the Apriori algorithm as a data mining technique. The research employed a descriptive quantitative approach based on 5,000 sales transactions recorded between January and December 2024, consisting of transaction IDs, dates, and purchased product lists. Through the Apriori algorithm, the study generated association rules that reveal relationships among products, represented by support and confidence values. The results show that several cosmetic items exhibit strong associative relationships, indicating consistent consumer purchasing tendencies that can be utilized for cross-selling strategies, promotional bundling, and inventory optimization. These findings highlight the effectiveness of data mining in transforming raw transaction data into actionable insights that support data-driven business decision-making. The study contributes theoretically by reinforcing the application of association rule learning in medium-scale retail contexts and practically by providing a framework for developing marketing and operational strategies based on data analysis. The research also suggests that future studies integrate broader datasets and additional variables, such as consumer demographics and temporal factors, to enhance analytical depth and model generalization.

Introduction Data mining, often described as data or knowledge discovery, refers to the process of extracting hidden and previously unknown patterns from large datasets and converting them into useful information for decision-making. This process involves analyzing data from various perspectives and summarizing them into insights that support strategic and operational decisions (Han et al. , 2. In the business context, data mining plays a vital role in identifying customer preferences, predicting future trends, and improving marketing efficiency. According to Kotu and Deshpande . , data mining Homepage: w. id/index. php/JICT JICT p-ISSN 2086-7867 e-ISSN 2808-9170 techniques such as classification, clustering, and association rule mining enable organizations to explore historical data for better decision support. Among these techniques, association rule mining has become a widely applied approach in the retail industry to identify product purchase patterns and develop data-driven marketing strategies (Larose & Larose, 2. This method allows businesses to understand which items are frequently purchased together, helping them design targeted promotional campaigns and optimize product placement. The implementation of data mining thus not only enhances decision quality but also provides competitive advantages in highly dynamic market environments where consumer behavior changes rapidly (Tan et al. , 2. PT. Ouzen Anugerah Indonesia, a cosmetics retail company, faces challenges in managing and utilizing its sales transaction data effectively. Every day, the company processes numerous consumer purchases that result in large volumes of data stored in databases. However, these data have so far been used only for administrative reporting purposes rather than being analyzed for strategic This underutilization of data limits the companyAos ability to identify consumer purchasing patterns and develop targeted marketing initiatives (Adawiyah. Defit, & Sumijan, 2. competition in the cosmetics sector intensifies, businesses are increasingly required to leverage data analytics for understanding market behavior and improving decision-making. Without analytical tools, decision-making tends to rely solely on intuition or managerial experience, which can lead to inaccurate forecasts and suboptimal marketing performance (Han et al. , 2. The absence of a structured system to analyze transaction data further constrains PT. Ouzen Anugerah Indonesia in identifying best-selling products, determining appropriate stock levels, and recognizing cross-selling Hence, implementing data mining techniques, particularly the Apriori algorithm, is essential to extract valuable information from transactional data that can support evidence-based marketing and inventory management decisions. The cosmetics industry continues to grow rapidly, both nationally and globally, driven by increasing consumer awareness of beauty, self-care, and skin health. This growth creates new opportunities but also challenges for retail companies to accurately predict and respond to changing consumer preferences (Afisyah. Winata, & Syahputra, 2. PT. Ouzen Anugerah Indonesia, operating in this highly competitive environment, struggles to identify which cosmetic products sell best and how different products interact in purchasing behavior. The companyAos current approach, which lacks systematic analysis of transaction data, results in fluctuating product sales and inefficient inventory Therefore, it is necessary to adopt a data-driven analytical framework to identify product associations and frequently purchased itemsets (Adawiyah et al. , 2. The Apriori algorithm, a wellknown data mining technique for association rule learning, can provide valuable insights into consumer behavior by identifying products that tend to be purchased together. By applying this algorithm, companies can optimize product placement, design promotional bundles, and enhance marketing effectiveness. Prior research in the retail sector has demonstrated that Apriori can significantly improve understanding of customer preferences, leading to increased sales performance and improved decision support (Han et al. , 2022. Kotu & Deshpande, 2. Several studies have explored the use of the Apriori algorithm for analyzing purchasing patterns and market basket data in the retail sector. For instance. Adawiyah et al. applied Apriori in a healthcare retail setting to identify combinations of products purchased together, which improved the companyAos inventory management and promotional strategies. Similarly. Afisyah et al. demonstrated that Apriori-based association analysis could reveal strong correlations among products in fashion retail stores, leading to more effective marketing programs. Previous research has also highlighted that the Apriori algorithm is particularly effective in medium-scale enterprises due to its simplicity, interpretability, and efficiency in identifying frequent itemsets (Tan et al. , 2. These studies collectively underscore the value of using Apriori for uncovering hidden patterns in consumer Building upon these findings, this study applies the Apriori algorithm to 5,000 sales transactions recorded at PT. Ouzen Anugerah Indonesia between January and December 2024 to identify frequent product combinations and derive actionable insights for managerial decision- Implementation of the Apriori Method in Consumer Purchasing Patterns at PT. Ouzen Anugerah Indonesia (Muhammad Alif Yustio, et a. A p-ISSN 2086-7867 e-ISSN 2808-9170 The analysis is expected to reveal dominant itemsets that can serve as the foundation for developing data-based business strategies, thereby enhancing organizational competitiveness. The objective of this study is twofold: first, to identify and analyze frequent product combinations from sales transaction data using the Apriori algorithm, and second, to provide strategic recommendations for PT. Ouzen Anugerah Indonesia in formulating data-driven marketing, inventory, and promotional decisions. From a theoretical perspective, this research contributes to the field of data mining by demonstrating how association rule learning can be adapted to medium-scale cosmetic retail businesses in Indonesia. From a practical perspective, the findings are expected to support management in optimizing product layout, bundling promotions, and improving stock The scientific contribution of this study lies in bridging the gap between theoretical applications of data mining and their practical implications in real-world retail contexts. Ultimately, the application of the Apriori algorithm in this research will help PT. Ouzen Anugerah Indonesia transition from intuition-based to data-driven decision-making, thereby increasing operational efficiency, enhancing customer satisfaction, and strengthening its competitiveness in the growing cosmetics market (Larose & Larose, 2016.

Customer segmentation, providing product recommendations based on purchasing patterns to consumers who purchase product H to encourage them to purchase other related products. Conclusion Based on the findings, this study concludes that the application of the Apriori algorithm in analyzing consumer purchasing patterns at PT. Ouzen Anugerah Indonesia effectively identifies frequent product combinations and reveals hidden associations within transactional data, thereby enabling data-driven decision-making in marketing, inventory management, and promotional strategy formulation. The research demonstrates that data mining, particularly association rule learning, serves as a powerful analytical framework for transforming raw transaction data into actionable business intelligence. Theoretically, these findings strengthen the empirical foundation of data mining applications in the retail sector by validating the Apriori algorithmAos capability to extract meaningful relationships among items in medium-scale enterprises. Practically, the results offer managerial implications for implementing targeted cross-selling strategies, optimizing product placement, and improving stock control efficiency, which collectively enhance organizational competitiveness in the cosmetics industry. However, this study is limited by its use of a single dataset from one company and the focus on transactional attributes without integrating external factors such as customer demographics or temporal purchasing trends. Future research should address these limitations by employing larger and more diverse datasets, incorporating multi-dimensional variables, and comparing the performance of Apriori with other advanced association algorithmsAisuch as FP-Growth or EclatAito enhance model generalizability and robustness. By expanding these analytical dimensions, subsequent studies can contribute to the broader development of intelligent data-driven retail management systems that align with the evolving dynamics of consumer behavior and digital commerce.
