Inventory Management Inventory is a stock of anything held to meet some future demand. It is created when the rate of receipts exceeds the rate of disbursements. A stock or store of goods. Inventory Turns (Turnover) COGS/Avg. Inventory Investment
Inventory Management Weeks of supply = Average aggregate Inventory Value / Weekly Sales (at cost) IT = COGS / Average aggregate inventory value The Eagle Machine Company averaged $2M in inventory last year, and the COGS was $10M. If the company has 52 business weeks per year, how many weeks of supply are held in inventory? What is the inventory turnover rate?
Outline, Two Major Models Fixed Quantity Model, Q Continuous Review System Order a fixed amount Order cycle (time between orders) varies EOQ, C (holding and ordering costs) R - Constant demand, constant lead time - Variable demand~N, constant lead time Fixed Interval Model, P Periodic Review System Order various amounts Order cycle is fixed or constant
Some Terms Constant demand, constant lead time. EOQ=Economic Order Quantity Q=Order Quantity D=Annual demand S=Order cost per order H=Annual holding cost per unit TC=Total annual costs TBO=Time between orders, order cycle time R=Reorder Point, used when LT>0 d=demand rate, dbar mean demand rate L=Lead time Constant means fixed or non-fluctuating.
Continuous Review System Constant demand, constant lead time. On-hand inventory (units) Time Average cycle inventory Q Q — 2 1 cycle Receive order Inventory depletion (demand rate)
Continuous Review Systems – Total Costs Constant demand, constant lead time.
Ex: Find EOQ, TBO, and make cost comparisons Constant demand, constant lead time, LT=0. Suppose that you are reviewing the inventory policies on an item stocked at a hardware store. The current policy is to replenish inventory by ordering in lots of 360 units. Additional information given: D = 60 units per week, or 3120 units per year S = $30 per order H = 25% of selling price, or $20 per unit per year
Ex: Determine ROP Constant demand, constant lead time, LT>0. Q=300 units, LT=8 days, TBO=30 days.
Ex: Determine EOQ, ROP Q System Variable demand~N, constant lead time, LT>0. The Discount Appliance Store uses a fixed order quantity model. One of the company’s items has the following characteristics: Demand = 10 units/wk (assume 52 weeks per year, normally distributed) Ordering and setup cost ( S ) = $45/order Holding cost ( H ) = $12/unit/year Lead time ( L ) = 3 weeks Standard deviation of demand = 8 units per week Service level = 70%
