Irwin/McGraw-Hill2
Inventory System Purpose
The set of policies and controls that determine what inventory levels should be maintained, when stock should be replenished, and how large orders should be
Irwin/McGraw-Hill3
Purposes of Inventory
1. To maintain independence of operations
2. To meet variation in product demand
3. To allow flexibility in production scheduling
4. To provide a safeguard for variation in raw material delivery time
5. To take advantage of economic purchase-order size
Irwin/McGraw-Hill4
Inventory Costs Holding (or carrying) costs
Setup (or production change) costs
Ordering costs
Shortage (or backlog) costs

Independent vs. Dependent Demand

Fixed-Order Quantity ModelsAssumptions
Demand for the product is constant and uniform throughout the period
Lead time (time from ordering to receipt) is constant
Price per unit of product is constant Inventory holding cost is based on average
inventory Ordering or setup costs are constant All demands for the product will be satisfied
(No back orders are allowed)

EOQ Example
Annual Demand (D) = 1,000 unitsDays per year considered in average daily demand = 365Cost to place an order (S) = $10Holding cost per unit per year (H) = $2.40Lead time (L) = 7 daysCost per unit (C) = $15
Determine the economic order quantity and the reorder point.

d = 1,000 units / year
365 days / year = 2.74 units / day

20 units
When the inventory level reaches 20, order 91 units.

EOQ with Quantity Discounts
What if we get a price break for buying a larger quantity?
To find the lowest cost order quantity: Since “C” changes for each price-break, H=iC Where, i = percentage of unit cost attributed to
carrying inventory and , C = cost (or price) per unit Find the EOQ at each price break. Identify relevant and feasible order quantities. Compare total annual costs The lowest cost wins.
Irwin/McGraw-Hill17
EOQ with Quantity Discounts Example
Copper may be purchased for $ .82 per pound for up to 2,499 pounds$ .81 per pound for 2,500 to 5,000 pounds$ .80 per pound for orders greater than 5,000
poundsDemand (D) = 50,000 pounds per yearHolding costs (H) are 20% of the purchase price per
unitOrdering costs (S) = $30
How much should the company order to minimize total costs?

Safety Stock

Irwin/McGraw-Hill20
What if demand is not Certain?
Use safety stock to cover uncertainty in demand. Given: service probability which is the probability
demand will NOT exceed some amount. The safety stock level is set by increasing the
reorder point by the amount of safety stock. The safety stock equals z•L
where,L = the standard deviation of demand during the
lead time.
For example for a 5% chance of running out z 1.65

Fixed-Time Period Models Check the inventory every review period and
then order a quantity that is large enough to cover demand until the next order will come in.
The model assumes uncertainty in demand with safety stock added to the order quantity.
More exposure to variability than fixed-order models

Example of the Fixed-Time Period Model
Average daily demand for a product is 20 units.The review period is 30 days, and lead time is 10 days. Management has set a policy of satisfying 96 percentof demand from items in stock. At the beginning of the review period there are 200 units in inventory. The daily demand standard deviation is 4 units.
Given the information below, how many units should be ordered?
Irwin/McGraw-Hill27
Example of the Fixed-Time Period Model: Solution
or 644.272, = 200 - 44.272 800 = q
200- 298)(1.75)(25. + 10)+20(30 = q

units 645
So, to satisfy 96 percent of the demand, you should place an order of 645 units at this review period.
T+ L d2 2 = (T + L) = 30 + 10 4 = 25.298

Problem A pharmacy orders antibiotics every two
weeks (14 days). the daily demand equals 2000 the daily standard deviation of demand =
800 lead time is 5 days service level is 99 % present inventory level is 25,000 units

Single – Period Model for items w/obsolescence (newsboy problem)
For a single purchase Amount to order is when marginal profit
(MP) is equal to marginal loss (ML). Adding probabilities (P = probability of that unit being sold) for the last unit ordered we want
P(MP)(1-P)ML or P ML /(MP+ML)
Increase order quantity as long as this holds.

So, identify inventory items based on percentage of total dollar value, where “A” items are roughly top 15 %, “B” items as next 35 %, and the lower 50% are the “C” items.
