  1. Inventory management Chapter 10

  2. Overview Functions Types Costs PLANNING Optimum levels MODELS CONTROL Maintain appropriate levels

  3. Outcomes • Understand why businesses keep stock • Differentiate between the various types of inventory • Identify inventory-ordering costs and inventory-carrying costs • Determine a suitable carrying cost percentage • Set optimum inventory levels • Perform effective inventory control

  4. Functions of inventories • Geographical specialisation • Location economies • Consolidation • Economic specialisation • Decoupling • WIP • Economic lot sizes greater than demand • Large shipments at lower transport costs • Lower cost of purchasing

  5. Functions of inventories (continued) • Balancing supply and demand • Seasonal production, but year-round consumption • Seasonal consumption: provide for peaks • Buffer uncertainties • Demand uncertainty • Lead-time uncertainty • Prevent cost of stockout

  6. Types of inventory • Based on position in supply chain: • Raw material • Work-in-process (WIP) • Packaging material • Finished goods • Based on purpose: • Cycle stock • Transit inventory • Safety stock • Speculative stock

  7. Important inventory concepts • Availability • Definition • Measurements • Average inventory • half order quantity + safety stock • Inventory turnover

  8. Average inventory and order quantity

  9. Inventory costs • Ordering costs • Carrying costs

  10. Inventory-ordering costs • Consist of: • Administration costs • Handling costs • Depend on where stock is replenished • Outside supplier • Restocking own field warehouse

  11. Carrying-cost percentage • Used to calculate carrying costs • Expressed as annual % value • Applied to average inventory • ICC = average inventory x % Example: R1 000 000 x 20% = R200 000 • Assign factor to each cost element

  12. Determine carrying-cost percentage

  13. Setting optimum inventory levels • How much to order • Simple EOQ • EOQ extensions • When to order • Reorder point • Safety stock

  14. Simple EOQ: the concept • Trade-off between ordering and carrying costs • Remember: • Average inventory = half order size • Therefore, high OQ results in: • high average inventory and • high carrying costs • Graph • Formula

  15. Simple EOQ: trade-off

  16. Simple EOQ: formula EOQ = Where P = ordering costs ($ per order) D = annual demand or sales volume in units C = carrying-cost percentage V = cost or value per unit

  17. EOQ adjustments • Volume transport rates • Quantity discounts • Production lot size • Multiple-item purchases • Limited capital • Own transport • Unitisation

  18. Determining order point • When to order • Expressed in SKU units or days of supply • Formula: R = D x T + SS Where R = reorder point in units D = average daily demand T = average lead time SS = safety stock

  19. Target-level replenishment • Fixed order interval • Short interval periodic review • Order quantities vary • Quantity to meet target level • Review period added to lead time to arrive at targeted reorder point (ROP)

  20. Target-level replenishment (continued) • TSL = D (T + P) + SS Where D = average daily demand T = average lead time P = review period (days) SS = safety stock • Now order to reach target • Q = TSL - I – Where Q = quantity to be ordered TSL = target level I = inventory status = quantity on order Qo Qo

  21. Demand uncertainty • Safety stock added to base inventory • Average inventory = half order quantity + SS • Normal distribution • Only consider when demand is greater than 50% in normal distribution • Calculate: • Mean • Standard deviation

  22. Normal distribution theory

  23. Normal distribution theory (continued)

  24. Demand uncertainty • Mean • Average of all values in series • Formula: μ = ∑xi /n • Standard deviation • Formula: √ (1/n x ∑ (xi-μ)2

  25. Lead-time uncertainty • Lead time a combination of: • Order communication time • Processing time • Transport time • Calculation: • Same as demand uncertainty (i.e. calculate standard deviation)

  26. Combined standard deviation Formula: s = √ TSs2 + D2 St2 Where s = combined standard deviation T = average lead time Ss = sales standard deviation D = average sales St = lead time standard deviation

  27. Fill rate • Normal distribution theory gives indication of probability of stockout. • Percentage, not indication of availability levels. • Fill rate gives indication of magnitude of stockout rather than probability. • Fill rate = desired customer service objective. • Fill rate = percentage of units out of stock relative to demand.

  28. Fill rate and order size • Fill rate influenced by: • Probability of stockout • Replenishment order size • The larger the order quantity, the lower the magnitude of potential stockouts. • Example: 20-day period • OQ sufficient for 10 days, stockouts can occur twice • OQ sufficient for 20 days, stock-outs will occur once

  29. Fill rate formula • Formula for SL: SL = 1-[(s/EOQ) x f(k)] Where f(k) = function of right tail Or f(k) = (1-SL) x (Q/s) s = combined standard deviation

  30. Safety stock for given fill rate • Formula for SS: First calculate f(k) SS = k x s Where k = safety factor for corresponding f(k) s = combined standard deviation k can also be calculated: k = SS/s

  31. Calculating safety stock: example • Information • EOQ = 300 • S = 13 • Desired FL = 99% • Solution First calculate f(k) f(k) = (1-0,99) x (300/13) = 0,01 x 23,08 = 0,2308 k = 0,4 (corresponding factor for f(k) of 0,2308) SS = 0,4 x 13 = 5,2 units

  32. Calculating fill rate: example • Information • EOQ = 200 • s = 13 • SS = 8 • First calculate k k = 8/13 = 0,6154 Therefore f(k) = 0,16 (roughly) • Fill rate SL = 1-[(s/OQ) x f(k)] = 1-[(13/200) x 0,16] = 1-[0,0650 x 0,16] = 1-0,0104 = 0,99 or 99%

  33. Logistics requirements planning (LRP)

  34. Procedure for LRP • Plan weekly • Start with independent demand • Demand forecasting • Calculate how long stocks will last • Deduct safety stock • Add stock in transit • Calculate date when safety stock is reached

  35. Procedure for LRP (continued) • Calculate date of shipment (allow lead time) • Plan production • Calculate delivery date of materials • Calculate shipment allowing for lead time

  36. Just in time (JIT): approach • We have items when they are needed and none when they are not needed. • Demand for one item triggers demand for another.

  37. Push system Satisfied with status quo Fixed lead time Product range is a sales issue Stock in case of demand Convenient purchase batch size Pull system Continuous improvement Reducing lead time Product range reduc-tion: inventory issue Purchase to meet demand Buy single or small quantities Conventional vs JIT systems

  38. JIT application possibilities • Typical features of ideal company: • Narrow product range • Manufacturer • High volume • Stable market • Influential • Good quality management • Local suppliers of goods and services • Dependent and reliable suppliers • Fast-cycle processes • Personal commitment

  39. JIT requirements • Short lead time • Long-term agreements • Close co-operation • Local suppliers • Customers must smooth forecasts • Good estimate of long-term demand • Frequent deliveries

  40. Collaborative inventory initiatives • Collaborative planning, forecasting and replenishment (CPFR) • Quick response (QR) • Vendor-managed inventory (VMI) • Profile replenishment (PR)

  41. Pareto analysis Pareto principle: • Villefredo Pareto: 18th century • 20% of people control 80% of wealth • True in everyday life • 80% of effect is provided by 20% of cause

  42. ABC analysis using Pareto • Purpose • Facilitate control • Minimise effort • Provide service with least cost and effort • Procedure • Rank items/lines according to annual turnover • Annual turnover = annual usage x unit costs • Classification • A = 10% of lines giving 65% turnover • B = 20% of lines giving 25% turnover • C = 70% of lines giving 10% of turnover

  43. ABC analysis based on the Pareto principle 80

  44. Different service levels for inventory categories

  45. Stock cover • Time in which stock will run out • Tool for measuring total inventory • Monitor performance of each item • Formula: current stock x 52 forecast usage • Result: weeks in hand SC=

  46. Stock turnover • Measures inventory management effectiveness • Formula: Stock turnover = Value of annual usage Value of stock in store • Shows number of times that stock will be used up during the year

  47. Setting stock targets • Based on ABC • ‘A’ class: tighter control and lower stock cover • Target for each class • Acceptable ranges: • A 1 to 4 weeks • B 2 to 8 weeks • C 3 to 20 weeks
