Role of Inventory in the Supply Chain Overstocking: Amount available exceeds demand Liquidation, Obsolescence, Holding Understocking: Demand exceeds amount available Lost margin and future sales Goal: Matching supply and demand Notes:

Understanding Inventory The inventory policy is affected by: Demand Characteristics Lead Time Number of Products Objectives Service level Minimize costs Cost Structure

Cost Structure Order costs Holding Costs Fixed Variable Insurance Maintenance and Handling Taxes Opportunity Costs Obsolescence

EOQ: A View of Inventory* Note: • No Stockouts • Order when no inventory • Order Size determines policy Inventory Order Size Avg. Inventory Time

EOQ:Total Cost* Total Cost Holding Cost Order Cost

EOQ: Calculating Total Cost* Purchase Cost Constant Holding Cost: (Avg. Inven) * (Holding Cost) Ordering (Setup Cost): Number of Orders * Order Cost Goal: Find the Order Quantity that Minimizes These Costs:

Fixed costs: Optimal Lot Size and Reorder Interval (EOQ) R: Annual demand S: Setup or Order Cost C: Cost per unit h: Holding cost per year as a fraction of product cost H: Holding cost per unit per year Q: Lot Size T: Reorder interval Notes:

Example Demand, R = 12,000 computers per year Unit cost, C = $500 Holding cost, h = 0.2 Fixed cost, S = $4,000/order Q = 980 computers Cycle inventory = Q/2 = 490 Flow time = Q/2R = 0.49 month Reorder interval, T = 0.98 month Notes:

EOQ: Another Example Book Store Mug Sales Question Demand is constant, at 20 units a week Fixed order cost of $12.00, no lead time Holding cost of 25% of inventory value annually Mugs cost $1.00, sell for $5.00 Question How many, when to order?

EOQ: Important Observations* Tradeoff between set-up costs and holding costs when determining order quantity. In fact, we order so that these costs are equal per unit time Total Cost is not particularly sensitive to the optimal order quantity

The Effect of Demand Uncertainty Most companies treat the world as if it were predictable: Production and inventory planning are based on forecasts of demand made far in advance of the selling season Companies are aware of demand uncertainty when they create a forecast, but they design their planning process as if the forecast truly represents reality Recent technological advances have increased the level of demand uncertainty: Short product life cycles Increasing product variety

Example: SnowTime Sporting Goods Fashion items have short life cycles, high variety of competitors SnowTime Sporting Goods New designs are completed One production opportunity Based on past sales, knowledge of the industry, and economic conditions, the marketing department has a probabilistic forecast The forecast averages about 13,000, but there is a chance that demand will be greater or less than this.

SnowTime Demand Scenarios

SnowTime Costs Profit = Revenue - Variable Cost - Fixed Cost + Salvage Production cost per unit (C): $80 Selling price per unit (S): $125 Salvage value per unit (V): $20 Fixed production cost (F): $100,000 Q is production quantity, D demand Profit = Revenue - Variable Cost - Fixed Cost + Salvage

SnowTime Scenarios Scenario One: Scenario Two: Suppose you make 12,000 jackets and demand ends up being 13,000 jackets. Profit = 125(12,000) - 80(12,000) - 100,000 = $440,000 Scenario Two: Suppose you make 12,000 jackets and demand ends up being 11,000 jackets. Profit = 125(11,000) - 80(12,000) - 100,000 + 20(1000) = $ 335,000

SnowTime Best Solution Find order quantity that maximizes weighted average profit. Question: Will this quantity be less than, equal to, or greater than average demand?

(s, S) Policies For some starting inventory levels, it is better to not start production If we start, we always produce to the same level Thus, we use an (s,S) policy. If the inventory level is below s, we produce up to S. s is the reorder point, and S is the order-up-to level The difference between the two levels is driven by the fixed costs associated with ordering, transportation, or manufacturing

Notation AVG = average daily demand STD = standard deviation of daily demand LT = replenishment lead time in days h = holding cost of one unit for one day SL = service level (for example, 95%). This implies that the probability of stocking out is 100%-SL (for example, 5%) Also, the Inventory Position at any time is the actual inventory plus items already ordered, but not yet delivered.

Analysis The reorder point has two components: To account for average demand during lead time: LTAVG To account for deviations from average (we call this safety stock) z  STD  LT where z is chosen from statistical tables to ensure that the probability of stockouts during leadtime is 100%-SL.

Example The distributor has historically observed weekly demand of: AVG = 44.6 ; STD = 32.1 Replenishment lead time is 2 weeks, and desired service level SL = 97% Average demand during lead time is: 44.6  2 = 89.2 Safety Stock is: 1.88  32.1  2 = 85.3 Reorder point is thus 175, or about 3.9 weeks of supply at warehouse and in the pipeline

Model Two: Fixed Costs* In addition to previous costs, a fixed cost K is paid every time an order is placed. We have seen that this motivates an (s,S) policy, where reorder point and order quantity are different. The reorder point will be the same as the previous model, in order to meet meet the service requirement: s = LTAVG + z  AVG  L What about the order up to level?

Model Two: The Order-Up-To Level* We have used the EOQ model to balance fixed, variable costs: Q=(2 K AVG)/h If there was no variability in demand, we would order Q when inventory level was at LT AVG. Why? There is variability, so we need safety stock z  AVG * LT The total order-up-to level is: S=max{Q, [LT AVG+ z  AVG * LT]}

Model Two: Example* Consider the previous example, but with the following additional info: fixed cost of $4500 when an order is placed $250 product cost holding cost 18% of product Weekly holding cost: h = (.18  250) / 52 = 0.87 Order quantity Q=(2 4500  44.6 / 0.87 = 679 Order-up-to level: s + Q = 85 + 679 = 765

What to Make? Question: Will this quantity be less than, equal to, or greater than average demand? Average demand is 13,100 Look at marginal cost Vs. marginal profit if extra jacket sold, profit is 125-80 = 45 if not sold, cost is 80-20 = 60 So we will make less than average

SnowTime Expected Profit

SnowTime Expected Profit

SnowTime: Important Observations Tradeoff between ordering enough to meet demand and ordering too much Several quantities have the same average profit Average profit does not tell the whole story Question: 9000 and 16000 units lead to about the same average profit, so which do we prefer?

Key Points from this Model The optimal order quantity is not necessarily equal to average forecast demand The optimal quantity depends on the relationship between marginal profit and marginal cost As order quantity increases, average profit first increases and then decreases As production quantity increases, risk increases. In other words, the probability of large gains and of large losses increases

Initial Inventory Suppose that one of the jacket designs is a model produced last year. Some inventory is left from last year Assume the same demand pattern as before If only old inventory is sold, no setup cost Question: If there are 7000 units remaining, what should SnowTime do? What should they do if there are 10,000 remaining?

Initial Inventory and Profit

Periodic Review Policy Each review echelon, inventory position is raised to the base-stock level. The base-stock level includes two components: Average demand during r+L days (the time until the next order arrives): (r+L)*AVG Safety stock during that time: z*STD* r+L

Inventory Management: Best Practice Periodic inventory review policy (59%) Tight management of usage rates, lead times and safety stock (46%) ABC approach (37%) Reduced safety stock levels (34%) Shift more inventory, or inventory ownership, to suppliers (31%) Quantitative approaches (33%)

Changes In Inventory Turnover Inventory turnover ratio = annual sales/avg. inventory level Inventory turns increased by 30% from 1995 to 1998 Inventory turns increased by 27% from 1998 to 2000 Overall the increase is from 8.0 turns per year to over 13 per year over a five year period ending in year 2000.

Inventory Turnover Ratio

Factors that Drive Reduction in Inventory Top management emphasis on inventory reduction (19%) Reduce the Number of SKUs in the warehouse (10%) Improved forecasting (7%) Use of sophisticated inventory management software (6%) Coordination among supply chain members (6%) Other Recent survey of inventory managers

Factors that Drive Inventory Turns Increase Better software for inventory management (16.2%) Reduced lead time (15%) Improved forecasting (10.7%) Application of SCM principals (9.6%) More attention to inventory management (6.6%) Reduction in SKU (5.1%) Others
