  1. Chapter 13: Learning Objectives • You should be able to: • Define the term inventory, list the major reasons for holding inventories, and list the main requirements for effective inventory management • Discuss the nature and importance of service inventories • Explain periodic and perpetual review systems • Explain the objectives of inventory management • Describe the A-B-C approach and explain how it is useful • Describe the basic EOQ model and its assumptions and solve typical problems • Describe the economic production quantity model and solve typical problems • Describe the quantity discount model and solve typical problems • Describe reorder point models and solve typical problems • Describe situations in which the single-period model would be appropriate, and solve typical problems 13-1

  2. Inventory • Inventory • A stock or store of goods • Independent demand items • Items that are ready to be sold or used • Inventories are a vital part of business: (1) necessary for operations and (2) contribute to customer satisfaction • A “typical” firm has roughly 30% of its current assets and as much as 90% of its working capital invested in inventory 13-2

  3. Types of Inventory • Raw materials and purchased parts • Work-in-process (WIP) • Finished goods inventories or merchandise • Tools and supplies • Maintenance and repairs (MRO) inventory • Goods-in-transit to warehouses or customers (pipeline inventory) 13-3

  4. Objectives of Inventory Control • Inventory management has two main concerns: • Level of customer service • Having the right goods available in the right quantity in the right place at the right time • Costs of ordering and carrying inventories • The overall objective of inventory management is to achieve satisfactory levels of customer service while keeping inventory costs within reasonable bounds • Measures of performance • Customer satisfaction • Number and quantity of backorders • Customer complaints • Inventory turnover 13-4

  5. Inventory Management • Management has two basic functions concerning inventory: • Establish a system for tracking items in inventory • Make decisions about • When to order • How much to order 13-5

  6. Effective Inventory Management • Requires: • A system keep track of inventory • A reliable forecast of demand • Knowledge of lead time and lead time variability • Reasonable estimates of • holding costs • ordering costs • shortage costs • A classification system for inventory items 13-6

  7. Inventory Counting Systems • Periodic System • Physical count of items in inventory made at periodic intervals • Perpetual Inventory System • System that keeps track of removals from inventory continuously, thus monitoring current levels of each item • An order is placed when inventory drops to a predetermined minimum level • Two-bin system • Two containers of inventory; reorder • when the first is empty 13-7

  8. Demand Forecasts and Lead Time • Forecasts • Inventories are necessary to satisfy customer demands, so it is important to have a reliable estimates of the amount and timing of demand • Point-of-sale (POS) systems • A system that electronically records actual sales • Such demand information is very useful for enhancing forecasting and inventory management • Lead time • Time interval between ordering and receiving the order 13-8

  9. Inventory Costs • Purchase cost • The amount paid to buy the inventory • Holding (carrying) costs • Cost to carry an item in inventory for a length of time, usually a year • Ordering costs • Costs of ordering and receiving inventory • Setup costs • The costs involved in preparing equipment for a job • Analogous to ordering costs 13-9

  10. Inventory Costs • Shortage costs • Costs resulting when demand exceeds the supply of inventory; often unrealized profit per unit 13-10

  11. ABC Classification System • A-B-C approach • Classifying inventory according to some measure of importance, and allocating control efforts accordingly • A items (very important) • 10 to 20 percent of the number of items in inventory and about 60 to 70 percent of the annual dollar value • B items (moderately important) • C items (least important) • 50 to 60 percent of the number • of items in inventory but only • about 10 to 15 percent of the • annual dollar value 13-11

  12. 80 – 70 – 60 – 50 – 40 – 30 – 20 – 10 – 0 – A Items Percent of annual dollar usage B Items | | | | | | | | | | 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 Percent of inventory items ABC Analysis Class A: 10 to 20% of items, 60-70% annual $ usage Class B: Intermediate Class C: 50 to 60% of items, <= 15% annual $ usage C Items

  13. Cycle Counting • Cycle counting • A physical count of items in inventory • Cycle counting management • How much accuracy is needed? • A items: ± 0.2 percent • B items: ± 1 percent • C items: ± 5 percent • When should cycle counting be performed? • Who should do it? 13-13

  14. How Much to Order: EOQ Models • Economic order quantity models identify the optimal order quantity by minimizing the sum of annual costs that vary with order size and frequency • The basic economic order quantity model • The economic production quantity model • The quantity discount model 13-14

  15. Basic EOQ Model • The basic EOQ model is used to find a fixed order quantity that will minimize total annual inventory costs • Assumptions: • Only one product is involved • Annual demand requirements are known • Demand is even throughout the year • Lead time does not vary • Each order is received in a single delivery • There are no quantity discounts 13-15

  16. Q Usage rate Average inventory on hand Q 2 Quantity on hand Reorder point Time Place order Receive order Receive order Receive order Place order Lead time Profile of Inventory Level Over Time The Inventory Cycle 13-16

  17. Total Annual Cost • Annual Holding cost + Annual Ordering cost • Annual Holding cost • (Average inventory) x Holding cost per unit per year • (Q/2) x H • Annual Ordering cost • Number of orders placed per year x Cost to place one order • (D/Q) x S

  18. Total Annual Cost 13-18

  19. Goal: Total Cost Minimization The Total-Cost Curve is U-Shaped Annual Cost Holding Costs Ordering Costs Order Quantity (Q) QO (optimal order quantity) 13-19

  20. Deriving EOQ • Using calculus, we take the derivative of the total cost function and set the derivative (slope) equal to zero and solve for Q. • The total cost curve reaches its minimum where the carrying and ordering costs are equal. 13-20

  21. Economic Production Quantity (EPQ) • The batch mode is widely used in production. In certain instances, the capacity to produce a part exceeds its usage (demand rate) • Assumptions • Only one item is involved • Annual demand requirements are known • Usage rate is constant • Usage occurs continually, but production occurs periodically • The production rate is constant • Lead time does not vary • There are no quantity discounts 13-21

  22. EPQ: Inventory Profile Q Production and usage Usage only Production and usage Usage only Production and usage Qp Cumulative production Imax Amount on hand Time 13-22

  23. EPQ – Total Cost 13-23

  24. EPQ 13-24

  25. Quantity Discount Model • Quantity discount • Price reduction for larger orders offered to customers to induce them to buy in large quantities 13-25

  26. Quantity Discounts Adding PD does not change EOQ 13-26

  27. Quantity Discounts The total-cost curve with quantity discounts is composed of a portion of the total-cost curve for each price 13-27

  28. When to Reorder • Reorder point • When the quantity on hand of an item drops to this amount, the item is reordered. • Determinants of the reorder point • The rate of demand • The lead time • The extent of demand and/or lead time variability • The degree of stockout risk acceptable to management 13-28

  29. Reorder Point: Under Certainty 13-29

  30. Reorder Point: Under Uncertainty • Demand or lead time uncertainty creates the possibility that demand will be greater than available supply • To reduce the likelihood of a stockout, it becomes necessary to carry safety stock • Safety stock • Stock that is held in excess of expected demand due to variable demand and/or lead time 13-30

  31. Safety Stock 13-31

  32. Safety Stock? • As the amount of safety stock carried increases, the risk of stockout decreases. • This improves customer service level • Service level • The probability that demand will not exceed supply during lead time • Service level = 100% - Stockout risk 13-32

  33. How Much Safety Stock? • The amount of safety stock that is appropriate for a given situation depends upon: • The average demand rate and average lead time • Demand and lead time variability • The desired service level 13-33

  34. Reorder Point: Demand Uncertainty Note: If only demand is variable, then 13-34

  35. Reorder Point: Lead Time Uncertainty Note: If only lead time is variable, then 13-35

  36. Reorder Point: Demand and Lead Time Uncertainty Note: If both demand and lead time is variable, then 13-36

  37. How Much to Order: FOI • Fixed-order-interval (FOI) model • Orders are placed at fixed time intervals • Reasons for using the FOI model • Supplier’s policy may encourage its use • Grouping orders from the same supplier can produce savings in shipping costs • Some circumstances do not lend themselves to continuously monitoring inventory position 13-37

  38. Fixed-Quantity vs. Fixed-Interval Ordering Fixed Quantity Fixed Interval 13-38

  39. FOI Model 13-39

  40. Single-Period Model • Single-period model • Model for ordering of perishables and other items with limited useful lives • Shortage cost • Generally, the unrealized profit per unit • Cshortage = Cs = Revenue per unit – Cost per unit • Excess cost • Different between purchase cost and salvage value of items left over at the end of the period • Cexcess = Ce = Cost per unit – Salvage value per unit 13-40

  41. Single-Period Model • The goal of the single-period model is to identify the order quantity that will minimize the long-run excess and shortage costs • Two categories of problem: • Demand can be characterized by a continuous distribution • Demand can be characterized by a discrete distribution 13-41

  42. Stocking Levels Cs Ce Service level Quantity So Balance Point So =Optimum Stocking Quantity 13-42

  43. Operations Strategy • Improving inventory processes can offer significant cost reduction and customer satisfaction benefits • Areas that may lead to improvement: • Record keeping • Records and data must be accurate and up-to-date • Variation reduction • Lead variation • Forecast errors • Lean operations • Supply chain management 13-43
