MEANING • Inventory-A physical resource that a firm holds in stock with the intent of selling it or transforming it into a more valuable state. • Inventory System- A set of policies and controls that monitors levels of inventory and determines what levels should be maintained, when stock should be replenished, and how large orders should be. It involves inventory planning and decision making with regard to the quantity and time of purchase, fixation of stock levels, maintenance of stores record and continuous stock taking.
THE INVENTORY DECISION • In an Inventory control situation, there are three basic questions to be answered. They are:- • How much to order? • When should the order be placed? • How much safety stock should be kept?
Factors Affecting Inventory Control Policy • Characteristics of the manufacturing system: • Degree of Specialization and differentiation of the products at various stages. • Process capability and flexibility. • Production capacity and storage facility. • Quality requirements. • Nature of production system. • Amount of protection against storages: • Changes in size and frequency of orders. • Unpredictability of sales. • Physical and economic structure of distribution pattern. • Costs associated with failure to meet demand. • Accuracy, frequency and detail of demand forecasts. • Protection against breakdown or other interruptions in production.
Objectives of Inventory Control • A hedge against inflation. • Protection against fluctuation in demand. • Protection against fluctuation in supply. • To avoid stock outs and shortages. • Quantity discounts. • Optimum use of men, machines & materials. • Maintaining different level of stock. • Control of stock volume. • The decoupling function.
Scope of Inventory Control • Formulation of policy. • Organization structure. • Determination of economic order quantity. • Determination of safety stock. • Determination of lead time. • Minimum material handling & storage cost. • Effectiveness towards running of store.
1. Determination Of Stock Levels Reorder Point Level of inventory at which a new order is placed. R = dL where d = demand rate per period L = lead time
Re-ordering level It is the level of stock quantity between minimum and maximum level and material order was sent for getting fresh stock. Formula : maximum usage of stock X maximum delivery period
Minimum level • It is the minimum balance, which must be maintained in hand at all times, so that there is no stoppage of production due to non availability of inventory. Remember You must need re-order level for getting it. Formula : Re-order level - ( Normal usage X average period )
Maximum level • It shows maximum quantity which should be in the stock, if we buy more, it means we are wasting money. Formula : re-order level X re-order quantity - ( minimum usage X minimum period )
Average Stock Level • This is the average of minimum and maximum level and it can be calculated by adding minimum level and maximum level and divided by 2. formula : minimum level + maximum level / 2
Danger level • It is the level at which normal issues of the raw material inventory are stopped and emergency issues are only made. formula : average consumption X lead time for emergency purchases
2. Determination of Safety Stocks • Safety stock • buffer added to on hand inventory during lead time • Stockout • an inventory shortage • Service level • probability that the inventory available during lead time will meet demand
Q Inventory level Reorder point, R 0 LT LT Time Variable Demand with a Reorder Point
Q Inventory level Reorder point, R Safety Stock 0 LT LT Time Reorder Point with a Safety Stock
R = dL + zd L where d = average daily demand L = lead time d = the standard deviation of daily demand z = number of standard deviations corresponding to the service level probability zd L = safety stock Reorder Point With Variable Demand
Probability of meeting demand during lead time = service level Probability of a stockout Safety stock zd L dL Demand R Reorder Point for a Service Level
d = 30 yards per day L = 10 days d = 5 yards per day R = dL + zd L = 30(10) + (1.65)(5)( 10) = 326.1 yards Safety stock = zd L = (1.65)(5)( 10) = 26.1 yards Reorder Point for Variable Demand The carpet store wants a reorder point with a 95% service level and a 5% stockout probability For a 95% service level, z = 1.65
3. Inventory Control Systems • Continuous system (fixed-order-quantity or Q Systems) • constant amount ordered when inventory declines to predetermined level • Periodic system (fixed-time-period or P Systems) • order placed for variable amount after fixed passage of time
Fixed Order Quantity System or Q Systems – In reorder level system, a replenishment order fixed size (Q) is placed when the stock level falls to the fixed reorder level (R). Thus a fixed quantity is ordered at various interval of time. • Periodic Review System or P System – In periodic review system, the inventory levels are reviewed at fixed points of time, when the quantity to be ordered is decided. By this method variable quantities are ordered at fixed time intervals
4. ECONOMIC ORDER QUANTITY (EOQ) • Economic order quantity is the size of the lot to be purchased which is economically viable. This the quantity of materials which can be purchased at minimum costs. • ASSUMPTIONS • Demand rate D is constant, recurring, and known • Amount in inventory is known at all times • Ordering (setup) cost S per order is fixed • Lead time L is constant and known. • Unit cost C is constant (no quantity discounts) • Annual carrying cost is i time the average RUPEE value of the inventory • No stock outs allowed. • Material is ordered or produced in a lot or batch and the lot is received all at once
EOQ Inventory Order Cycle Demand rate Order qty, Q Inventory Level ave = Q/2 Reorder point, R Lead time Lead time 0 Time As Q increases, average inventory level increases, but number of orders placed decreases Order Placed Order Received Order Placed Order Received

5. Production Quantity Model • An inventory system in which an order is received gradually, as inventory is simultaneously being depleted • AKA non-instantaneous receipt model • assumption that Q is received all at once is relaxed • p - daily rate at which an order is received over time, a.k.a. production rate • d - daily rate at which inventory is demanded

7. ABC ANALYSIS • The materials are divided in to a number of categories for adopting a selective approach for material control. • Classification of items as a, b, or c • Purpose: set priorities for management attention. • ‘A’ items: 20% of the items contributes, 80% value • ‘B’ items: 30 % of Items contributes , 15% Value • ‘C’ items: 50 % of Items contributes , 5% value • Three classes is arbitrary; could be any number. • Percents are approximate.

ABC Classification • Class A • 5 – 15 % of units • 70 – 80 % of value • Class B • 30 % of units • 15 % of value • Class C • 50 – 60 % of units • 5 – 10 % of value
8. JIT CONTROL SYSTEM • Just in Time purchasing is the purchase of material in such a way that delivery of purchased items is assured before their use or demand.
9. VED Analysis • VED – Vital, Essential, Desirable – analysis is used primarily for control of spare parts. The spare, parts can be divided into three categories – vital, essential or desirable – keeping in view the critically to production.
10. FNSD Analysis • FNSD analysis divides the items into four categories in the descending order of their usage rate as follows: • ‘F’ means Fast moving items • ‘N’ means normal moving items • ‘S’ means slow moving items • ‘D’ means dead stock.
11. Perpetual Inventory System Perpetual Inventory is a system of records maintained by the controlling department, which reflects the physical movement of stocks and their current balance. It aims at devising the system of records by which the receipts and issues of stores may be recorded immediately at the time of each transaction and the balance may be brought out so as to show the up-to-date position. The records used for perpetual inventory are: (i) Bin Cards; (ii) Store Ledger Accounts or Stores Record cards; (iii) The forms and documents used for receipt, issue and transfer of materials.
