3. What Is Inventory?
Stock of items kept to meet future
demand
Purpose of inventory management
how many units to order
when to order
Copyright 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 12-3
4. Types of Inventory
Raw materials
Purchased parts and supplies
Work-in-process (partially completed)
products (WIP)
Items being transported
Tools and equipment
Copyright 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 12-4
5. Inventory and Supply Chain
Management
Bullwhip effect
demand information is distorted as it moves away
from the end-use customer
higher safety stock inventories to are stored to
compensate
Seasonal or cyclical demand
Inventory provides independence from vendors
Take advantage of price discounts
Inventory provides independence between
stages and avoids work stop-pages
Copyright 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 12-5
6. Two Forms of Demand
Dependent
Demand for items used to produce
final products
Tires stored at a Goodyear plant are
an example of a dependent demand
item
Independent
Demand for items used by external
customers
Cars, appliances, computers, and
houses are examples of independent
demand inventory
Copyright 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 12-6
7. Inventory and Quality
Management
Customers usually perceive quality
service as availability of goods they want
when they want them
Inventory must be sufficient to provide
high-quality customer service in TQM
Copyright 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 12-7
8. Inventory Costs
Carrying cost
cost of holding an item in inventory
Ordering cost
cost of replenishing inventory
Shortage cost
temporary or permanent loss of sales
when demand cannot be met
Copyright 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 12-8
9. Inventory Control Systems
Continuous system (fixed-
order-quantity)
constant amount ordered
when inventory declines to
predetermined level
Periodic system (fixed-time-
period)
order placed for variable
amount after fixed passage of
time

13. Economic Order Quantity
(EOQ) Models
EOQ
optimal order quantity that will
minimize total inventory costs
Basic EOQ model
Production quantity model
Copyright 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 12-13
14. Assumptions of Basic
EOQ Model
Demand is known with certainty and
is constant over time
No shortages are allowed
Lead time for the receipt of orders is
constant
Order quantity is received all at once

Qopt = 2,000 yards TCmin = $750 + $750 = $1,500
Orders per year = D/Qopt Order cycle time = 311 days/(D/Qopt)
= 10,000/2,000 = 311/5
= 5 orders/year = 62.2 store days

20. Production Quantity
Model
An inventory system in which an order is
received gradually, as inventory is
simultaneously being depleted
AKA non-instantaneous receipt model
assumption that Q is received all at once is relaxed
p - daily rate at which an order is received over
time, a.k.a. production rate
d - daily rate at which inventory is demanded

28. Reorder Point
Level of inventory at which a new order
is placed
R = dL
where
d = demand rate per period
L = lead time
Copyright 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 12-28
29. Reorder Point: Example
Demand = 10,000 yards/year
Store open 311 days/year
Daily demand = 10,000 / 311 = 32.154
yards/day
Lead time = L = 10 days
R = dL = (32.154)(10) = 321.54 yards
Copyright 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 12-29
30. Safety Stocks
Safety stock
buffer added to on hand inventory during lead
time
Stockout
an inventory shortage
Service level
probability that the inventory available during
lead time will meet demand

33. Reorder Point With

R = dL + zσ d L
where
d = average daily demand
L = lead time
σd = the standard deviation of daily demand
z = number of standard deviations
corresponding to the service level
probability
zσd L = safety stock

35. Reorder Point for
Variable Demand
The carpet store wants a reorder point with a 95%
service level and a 5% stockout probability
d = 30 yards per day
L = 10 days
σd = 5 yards per day
For a 95% service level, z = 1.65
R = dL + z σd L Safety stock = z σd L
= 30(10) + (1.65)(5)( 10) = (1.65)(5)( 10)
= 326.1 yards = 26.1 yards
Copyright 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 12-35
36. Order Quantity for a
Periodic Inventory System
Q = d(tb + L) + zσ d tb + L - I
where
d = average demand rate
tb = the fixed time between orders
L = lead time
σd = standard deviation of demand
zσ d tb + L = safety stock
I = inventory level
Copyright 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 12-36
37. Fixed-Period Model with
Variable Demand
d = 6 bottles per day
σ d = 1.2 bottles
tb = 60 days
L = 5 days
I = 8 bottles
z = 1.65 (for a 95% service level)
Q = d(tb + L) + zσ d tb + L - I
= (6)(60 + 5) + (1.65)(1.2) 60 + 5 - 8
= 397.96 bottles
