  1. CHAPTER 6 Inventory Management

  2. Purposes of Inventory • Enables the firm to achieve economies of scale • Balances supply and demand • Enables specialization in manufacturing • Provides protection from uncertainties in demand and order cycle • Acts as a buffer between critical interfaces within the supply chain

  3. Types of Inventory • Cycle Stock: inventory that results from replenishment process and is required in order to meet demand under conditions of certainty. • In-Transit Inventories: items that are en route from one location to another. • Safety or Buffer Stock: inventory held in excess of cycle stock because of uncertainty in demand or lead time.

  4. Speculative Stock: inventory held for reasons other than satisfying current demand (e.g., quantity discounts, protect against materials shortage or expected price increase) • Seasonal Stock: inventory held before season begins; e.g., to allow a stable labor force and production runs • Dead Stock: items for which no demand has occurred for some specified period of time

  5. Inventory Management Under Conditions of Certainty • Fixed order point, fixed order quantity model • Assume firm has average daily sales of 20 units and an order lead time of 10 days • Assume further that the firm has determined its optimal order quantity to be 600 units • The Reorder Point for the firm is daily demand x lead time (or demand during lead time) = 200 units • The firm’s average inventory level is 300 units

  7. Determining Optimal Order Quantity:The Simple EOQ Model • Cost trade off involved includes only two costs: inventory carrying cost and ordering cost • Total annual cost = QVC/2 + PD/Q where Q = optimal order quantity P = ordering cost ($ per order) D = annual demand or usage (units) C = annual inventory carrying cost (%) V = average cost or value of one unit of inventory

  8. 2 P D C V • To determine Q, find derivative of TAC and set equal to zero; solve for Q • Q = • At Q (EOQ) annual inventory carrying cost is equal to annual ordering cost

  11. Limitations of EOQ Model • Appropriate when demand is continuous and fairly constant (though solution is rather insensitive to small changes in input data). Otherwise, Q/2 is not average inventory level. • Assumes constant transportation costs and procurement costs that are independent of order quantity • Does not include stock out costs (because demand is known and constant)

  12. Inventory Management Under Uncertainty • Firms handle variability of demand and lead time by carrying safety stock. • Add safety stock level to average demand during lead time to establish a new reorder point. • Determining safety stock level: • Calculate one standard deviation of demand during lead time when both demand and lead time vary. This equals 84.1% demand satisfaction level. • Use z tables (some in Table 6-6) to adjust to different service level. • Calculate fill rate using service function magnitude factor (see Table 6-8)

  16. Calculating Safety Stock Requirements • Determine one standard deviation of demand during lead time (sC) when both demand and lead time vary: sC = square root of [R(sS2) + S2(sR2)] where R = average replenishment cycle S = average daily sales sR = std. dev. of replenishment cycle sS = std. dev. of daily sales

  17. Example • S = 100 sS = 20 R = 10 sR = 1.634 sC = 175 units • If we wanted service level of 98%, multiple sC by 2 = 350 units • We need additional calculations to determine the specific fill rates at these service levels. Fill rate = % of units demanded that are on hand to fill customer orders

  18. Calculating Fill Rate • Fill Rate (FR) = 1 – (sC/EOQ)[I(K)] • I(K) = service function magnitude factor, based on desired number of standard deviations (see Table 6-8) • K (the safety factor) = safety stock/sC • Using textbook example: D = 25,000 V = $4.37 C = 32% P = $28 EOQ = 1,000 sC = 175 K = 1.6 Safety Stock at 94.5% level = 280 units (or 1.6 x sC)

  19. FR = 1 – (175/1000) [0.0236] = 1 – 0.0041 = 0.9959 • Why is average fill rate of 99.59% so much higher than 94.5% service level? • Suppose firm wants a 95% fill rate. How much safety stock is required? Find K. Fill Rate (FR) = 1 – (sC/EOQ)[I(K)] [I(K)] = (1 – FR) (EOQ/sC) = (1-0.95) (1,000/175) = 0.2857 K is approximately equal to 0.25 Required safety stock is 175 x 0.25 or 44 units.

  20. Adjusting EOQ for Volume Discounts(Note: we will use different approach) • Q1 = 2(rD/C) + (1 – r)Q0 where Q1 = quantity required to qualify for discount r = % price reduction with discount D = annual demand in units C = inventory carrying cost (%) Q0 = EOQ based on current price

  21. Consider problem in textbook: D = 16,000 cases @ 25 pounds per case V = $8.00 per case P = $10 per order C = 25% Transportation options: $4/cwt or $1.00 per unit if Q< 15,000 pounds or 600 units $3.90/cwt or $0.975 per unit if 600 < Q < 1560 $3.64/cwt or $0.91per unit if Q > 1560

  22. See Table 6-2 in textbook – need to check each discount volume • Q0 (EOQ) = 380 units with annual ordering cost of $430 + annual transportation cost of $16,340 + annual inventory carrying cost of $428 = $17,198 • Price reduction, r = ($9 - $8.91)/$9 = 1% • Q1 = 2(rD/C) + (1 – r)Q0 or Q1 = (2 x .01 x 16,000)/.25 + (1 - .01) (380) • New Q (Q1) of 1,660 has ordering cost of $100 + transportation cost of $14,580 + inventory carrying cost of $1,782 = $16,462 • Trade-offs: order cost decreased; transportation cost decreased; inventory carrying cost increased

  23. EOQ with Incremental Replenishment(We won’t do this method – but here it is for interested students) 2 p P D C p-u V • Q0 = where, p = production or delivery rate and u = usage rate Total Cost = Carrying cost + Setup cost = ([Imax]/2)CV + DP/Q0

  24. Derivation • Refer to Figure 6-6 • Imax = (p-u) (Q0/p) • Inventory carrying cost = (Imax/2)CV = (p-u)Q0CV/2p • Ordering cost = DP/Q0 • TC = (p-u)Q0CV/2p + DP/Q0 • dTC/Q0 = (p-u)CV/2p – DP/Q02 • Set = 0 and solve for Q • Q02 = (2DPp)/(p-u)CV = (2DP/CV) [p/(p-u)]

  25. Fixed Order Interval Model • Used when orders must be placed at fixed time intervals (e.g., weekly, twice per month) • If demand is variable, order size will vary. • Must have protection for lead time plus next order cycle (since orders can only be placed at specific times). • Thus, more safety stock than fixed order quantity model.

  26. Advantages of Fixed Order Interval Model • Requires only a periodic review of inventory levels • When two or more items come from the same supplier, grouping orders can yield savings in ordering, transportation, etc.

  27. Symptoms of Poor Inventory 6-8 • Increasing numbers of back orders • Increasing dollar investment in inventory with back orders remaining constant. • High customer turnover rate. • Increasing number of orders being canceled. • Periodic lack of sufficient storage space. • Wide variance in inventory turnover among distribution centers & major inventory items. • Deteriorating relationships with SC partners. • Large quantities of obsolete items.

  28. Improving Inventory Management • ABC analysis to identify items that should have centralized warehousing • Improved demand forecasting (e.g., group forecasting, collaborative forecasting) • Improved order processing and information systems • Reducing lead time variance (e.g., more dependable transportation service, tighter internal process control)
