Inventory Measures Average aggregate inventory value = + Value of each unit of item B Number of units of item B typically on hand Value of each unit of item A Number of units of item A typically on hand Weeks of supply = Average aggregate inventory value Weekly sales (at cost) Inventory turnover = Annual sales (at cost) Average aggregate inventory value Copyright ©2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Copyright ©2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall Example 10.1 The Eagle Machine Company averaged $2 million in inventory last year, and the cost of goods sold was $10 million. The breakout of raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods inventories is on the following slide. The best inventory turnover in the company’s industry is six turns per year. If the company has 52 business weeks per year, how many weeks of supply were held in inventory? What was the inventory turnover? What should the company do?

Copyright ©2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall Example 10.1 The average aggregate inventory value of $2 million translates into 10.4 weeks of supply and 5 turns per year, calculated as follows: = 10.4 weeks $2 million ($10 million)/(52 weeks) Weeks of supply = = 5 turns/year $10 million $2 million Inventory turns = Copyright ©2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Average aggregate inventory value Application 10.1 A recent accounting statement showed total inventories (raw materials + WIP + finished goods) to be $6,821,000. This year’s “cost of goods sold” is $19.2 million. The company operates 52 weeks per year. How many weeks of supply are being held? What is the inventory turnover? Weeks of supply = Average aggregate inventory value Weekly sales (at cost) = = 18.5 weeks $6,821,000 ($19,200,000)/(52 weeks) = 2.8 turns $19,200,000 $6,821,000 Inventory turnover = Copyright ©2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Measures of Supply Chain Financial Performance Financial measures Total revenue Cost of goods sold Operating expenses Cash flow Working capital Return on assets (ROA) Copyright ©2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

SCM Decisions Affecting ROA Total revenue Increase sales through better customer service Cost of goods sold Reduce costs of transportation and purchased materials Operating expenses Reduce fixed expenses by reducing overhead associated with supply chain operations Net income Improve profits with greater revenue and lower costs Return on assets (ROA) Increase ROA with higher net income and fewer total assets Working capital Reduce working capital by reducing inventory investment, lead times, and backlogs Fixed assets Reduce the number of warehouses through improved supply chain design Net cash flows Improve positive cash flows by reducing lead times and backlogs Inventory Increase inventory turnover Total assets Achieve the same or better performance with fewer assets Copyright ©2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

What is Mass Customization? A strategy whereby a firm’s highly divergent processes generate a wide variety of customized services or products at reasonably low costs. Copyright ©2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Copyright ©2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall Mass Customization Competitive advantages Managing customer relationships Eliminating finished goods inventory Increasing perceived value of services or products Supply chain design for mass customization Assemble-to-order strategy Modular design Postponement Copyright ©2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Copyright ©2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall Example 10.2 Thompson manufacturing produces industrial scales for the electronics industry. Management is considering outsourcing the shipping operation to a logistics provider experienced in the electronics industry. Thompson’s annual fixed costs of the shipping operation are $1,500,000, which includes costs of the equipment and infrastructure for the operation. The estimated variable cost of shipping the scales with the in-house operation is $4.50 per ton-mile. If Thompson outsourced the operation to Carter Trucking, the annual fixed costs of the infrastructure and management time needed to manage the contract would be $250,000. Carter would charge $8.50 per ton-mile. What is the break-even quantity? Copyright ©2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall
