Optimization of Inventory Management with QR Code Integration and Sequential Search Algorithm: A Case Study in a Regional Revenue Office

Inventory management at a government office was previously conducted manually, leading to issues such as data inaccuracies, delays in item searches, and low work efficiency. This study develops a web-based inventory management system integrated with QR Code technology and a sequential search algorithm to address these challenges. The system was developed using the prototyping method, with iterative design based on user feedback until the final version met the office's operational needs. Key features of the system include digital inventory recording, item tracking using QR Codes, and real-time information access through a web-based interface. The system was tested in two stages: simulation and direct implementation in a real-world environment, involving 10 respondents to evaluate effectiveness and usability. The test results showed a 95% improvement in data recording accuracy, a 60% reduction in item search time, and an average user satisfaction score of 77.25 based on the System Usability Scale (SUS). This research successfully improved inventory management efficiency and demonstrated the system’s potential for adoption by other similar organizations, with modular adjustments tailored to their needs.
