Abstract


A common problem in inventory planning is the uncertainty of the demand. One technique for determining the demand approximation value is the fractal interpolation. The aim of this study is to develop a fractal interpolation technique with an Fractal Interpolated Function constructed by the affine function that forms the Box Fractal shape. The development results are applied to interpolate rice demand data based on prices at a rice milling factory. Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) is used to measure the accuracy of interpolation results. For the nth iteration, the number of boxes formed are 5n and 4×5n pairs of points. Based on the rice demand data at one of the factories, the best MAPE was obtained at the 6th Iteration, which is 7.1596% within very good category. Based on the data used, the affine function that forms the Box Fractal as an Fractal Interpolated Function can be used in the fractal interpolation technique.
