Dependent Demand

Independent demand is uncertain. Dependent demand is certain.

Inventory: a stock or store of goods

Types of InventoriesTypes of Inventories

Raw materials & purchased parts Partially completed goods called

work in progress Finished-goods inventories

(manufacturing firms) or merchandise (retail stores)

Functions of InventoryFunctions of Inventory

To meet anticipated demand

To smooth production requirements

To decouple operations

To protect against stock-outs

Functions of Inventory (Cont’d)Functions of Inventory (Cont’d)

To take advantage of order cycles

To help hedge against price increases

To permit operations

To take advantage of quantity discounts

Objective of Inventory ControlObjective of Inventory Control

To achieve satisfactory levels of customer service while keeping inventory costs within reasonable bounds

Level of customer service

Costs of ordering and carrying inventory

A system to keep track of inventory

A reliable forecast of demand

Lead time: time interval between ordering and receiving the order

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

Shortage costs: costs when demand exceeds supply

ABC Classification SystemABC Classification System

Classifying inventory according to some measure of importance and allocating control efforts accordingly.

AA - very important

BB - mod. important

CC - least important

Deriving the EOQDeriving the EOQ

Using calculus, we take the derivative of the total cost function and set the derivative (slope) equal to zero and solve for Q.

Q = 2DS

H =

When to Reorder with EOQ OrderingWhen to Reorder with EOQ Ordering

Reorder Point - When the quantity on hand of an item drops to this amount, the item is reordered

Safety Stock - Stock that is held in excess of expected demand due to variable demand rate and/or lead time.

Service Level - Probability that demand will not exceed supply during lead time.

Orders are placed at fixed time intervals Order quantity for next interval? Suppliers might encourage fixed intervals May require only periodic checks of

inventory levels Risk of stockout

Tight control of inventory items Items from same supplier may yield savings

in: Ordering Packing Shipping costs

May be practical when inventories cannot be closely monitored

Single period model: model for ordering of perishables and other items with limited useful lives

Shortage cost: generally the unrealized profits per unit

Excess cost: difference between purchase cost and salvage value of items left over at the end of a period

Single Period ModelSingle Period Model

Page 36: Inventory

11-36 Inventory Management

Continuous stocking levels

Identifies optimal stocking levels

Optimal stocking level balances unit shortage and excess cost

Discrete stocking levels

Service levels are discrete rather than continuous

Desired service level is equaled or exceeded

Single Period ModelSingle Period Model

11-37 Inventory Management

Too much inventory Tends to hide problems Easier to live with problems than to eliminate

them Costly to maintain

Wise strategy Reduce lot sizes Reduce safety stock
