  19. EOQ EXAMPLES • Cost = • Demand= • Reorder cost= • Inventory carrying cost= • EOQ= • Filgrastim: $1,627/pkg 700 annually $2.00 $163 4 • Multivitamin: $6/pkg 700 annually $2.00 $0.6 68

  20. INVENTORY CONTROL SYSTEMS • DEMAND FORECASTING • Moves further out the supply chain • Uses software algorithms to predict usage based on seasonal and customer specific anticipated fill dates. • Longs’ Drug California DC reduced inventory by 58%, cut replenishment costs by 65%, maintained 99.5% controllable service levels, released enough cash flow ($60M) to purchase 20 stores.

  21. INVENTORY CONTROL SYSTEMS • Decision Support & Monitoring • Linear programming • Allows optimization under constrained resources • Decision trees • Simplifies complex decisions using outcomes and probability distributions

  22. Decision Trees STATUS $328,000 (p= 1.0) QUO $328,000 SUCCESSFUL $235,000 (p= 0.2) MAKE $319,000 SWITCH $340,000 (p= 0.8) FAILURE

  23. INVENTORY CONTROL SYSTEMS • Decision Support & Monitoring • Multi-Attribute Utility Theory (MAUT) • Method of quantifying assessments of worth of diverse attributes • Financial concepts • Time value of money (NPV, IRR) • Risk value of money • Standard cost monitoring
