CHAPTER 12 MANAGING INVENTORIES Understanding Inventory Raw materials, component parts, subassemblies, and supplies are inputs to manufacturing and service-delivery processes. Work-in-process (WIP) inventory consists of partially finished products in various stages of completion that are awaiting further processing. Finished goods inventory is completed products ready for distribution or sale to customers. Safety stock inventory is an additional amount of inventory that is kept over and above the average amount required to meet demand.

CHAPTER 12 MANAGING INVENTORIES Inventory Management Decisions & Costs Ordering costs or setup costs are incurred as a result of the work involved in placing purchase orders with suppliers or configuring tools, equipment, and machines within a factory to produce an item. Inventory-holding costs or inventory- carrying costs are the expenses associated with carrying inventory.

CHAPTER 12 MANAGING INVENTORIES Inventory Management Decisions & Costs Shortage costs or stockout costs are the costs associated with a SKU being unavailable when needed to meet demand. Unit cost is the price paid for purchased goods or the internal cost of producing them.

CHAPTER 12 MANAGING INVENTORIES Inventory Characteristics Nature of Demand: Independent demand is demand for an SKU that is unrelated to the demand for other SKUs and needs to be forecast. Dependent demand is demand directly related to the demand for other SKUs and can be calculated without needing to be forecast. Demand can either be constant (deterministic) or uncertain (stochastic). Static demand is stable demand. Dynamic demand varies over time.

These can be managed using automated computer systems. “B” items are between A and C.

Managing Fixed Quantity Inventory Systems In a fixed quantity system (FQS), the order quantity or lot size is fixed; the same amount, Q, is ordered every time.

CHAPTER 12 MANAGING INVENTORIES Managing Fixed Quantity Inventory Systems The process of triggering an order is based on the inventory position. Inventory position (IP) is the on-hand quantity (OH) plus any orders placed but which have not arrived (scheduled receipts, or SR), minus any backorders (BO). IP = OH + SR – BO [12.1]

CHAPTER 12 MANAGING INVENTORIES The EOQ Model The Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) model is a classic economic model developed in the early 1900s that minimizes total cost, which is the sum of the inventory-holding cost and the ordering cost.

CHAPTER 12 MANAGING INVENTORIES The EOQ Model Assumptions: Only a single item (SKU) is considered. The entire order quantity (Q) arrives in the inventory at one time. Only two types of costs are relevant— order/setup and inventory holding costs. No stockouts are allowed. The demand for the item is deterministic and continuous over time. Lead time is constant.

C = Unit cost of the inventory item or SKU.

CHAPTER 12 MANAGING INVENTORIES Safety Stock and Uncertain Demand in a Fixed Order Quantity System When demand is uncertain, using EOQ based on the average demand will result in a high probability of a stockout. –Safety stock is additional planned on-hand inventory that acts as a buffer to reduce the risk of a stockout. –A service level is the desired probability of not having a stockout during a lead-time period.

CHAPTER 12 MANAGING INVENTORIES When a normal probability distribution provides a good approximation of lead time demand, the general expression for reorder point is: r =  L + z  L [12.9] Where:  L = Average demand during the lead time.  L = Standard deviation of demand during the lead time. z = The number of standard deviations necessary to achieve the acceptable service level. “z  L ” represents the amount of safety stock.

CHAPTER 12 MANAGING INVENTORIES Ordering costs are $45.00 per order. One ream of paper costs $3.80. Annual inventory-holding cost rate is 20%. The average annual demand is 15,000 reams, or about 15,000/52 = per week. The standard deviation of weekly demand is about 71. The lead time from the manufacturer is two weeks.

CHAPTER 12 MANAGING INVENTORIES Managing Fixed Period Inventory Systems An alternative to a fixed order quantity system is a fixed period system (FPS)—sometimes called a periodic review system—in which the inventory position is checked only at fixed intervals of time, T, rather than on a continuous basis. Two principal decisions in a FPS: 1.The time interval between reviews (T), and 2.The replenishment level (M)

CHAPTER 12 MANAGING INVENTORIES Single-Period Inventory Model Applies to inventory situations in which one order is placed for a good in anticipation of a future selling season where demand is uncertain. At the end of the period, the product has either sold out or there is a surplus of unsold items to sell for a salvage value. Sometimes called a newsvendor problem, because newspaper sales are a typical example.

CHAPTER 12 MANAGING INVENTORIES Single-Period Inventory Model Solve using marginal economic analysis. The optimal order quantity Q* must satisfy: P (demand ≤ Q*) = c u c u + c s [12.17]  c s = The cost per item of overestimating demand (salvage cost); this cost represents the loss of ordering one additional item and finding that it cannot be sold.  c u = The cost per item of underestimating demand (shortage cost); this cost represents the opportunity loss of not ordering one additional item and finding that it could have been sold.

CHAPTER 12 MANAGING INVENTORIES Solved Problem: p. 250 Department Store A buyer orders fashion swimwear about six months before the summer season. Each piece costs $40 and sells for $60. At the sale price of $30, it is expected that any remaining stock can be sold during the August sale. The cost per item of overestimating demand is equal to the purchase cost per item minus the August sale price per item: c s = $40 – $30 = $10. The per-item cost of underestimating demand is the difference between the regular selling price per item and the purchase cost per item; that is, c u = $60 – $40 = $20.

CHAPTER 12 MANAGING INVENTORIES Solved Problem: : p. 250 Department Store The optimal order size Q must satisfy: P (demand ≤ Q*) = c u /(c u + c s ) = 20/(20+10) = 2/3 Because the demand distribution is uniform, the value of Q* is two-thirds of the way from 350 to 650. This results in Q* = 550.
