Inventory means stock of goods like raw material, work in progress, stores of finished goods, consumables etc.
Inventory management means planning, organizing, handling and storing adequate level of inventory with optimized cost to meet consumer’s demand.
There are two most significant costs involved in managing inventory (ordering cost and carrying cost)
Inventory occupy 50–80% of the total current assets of the business concern. It is very essential part of working capital management and production management.
ECONOMIC ORDER QUANTITY
Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) refers to the optimum level of inventory at which the total cost of inventory comprising ordering cost and carrying cost is minimum maintaining the forecasted demand adequacy.
FORMULA : EOQ = √2AO / C
A - Annual consumption, O - Ordering cost per order, C - Carrying cost (expressed in percentage terms of purchase price per unit)
A-B-C ANALYSIS OF INVENTORY
It is the inventory management technique that divide inventory into three categories based on the value and volume of the inventories.
In most inventories a small proportion of items accounts for substantial usage and high monetary value while a large proportion of items accounts for small usage and low monetary value.
ABC analysis advocates a selective approach to classify and focus greater concentration on inventory items accounting for high monetary value and bulk usage.

Digital Commerce Lecture for Advanced Digital & Social Media Strategy at UCLA...Valters Lauzums
E-commerce in 2024 is characterized by a dynamic blend of opportunities and significant challenges. Supply chain disruptions and inventory shortages are critical issues, leading to increased shipping delays and rising costs, which impact timely delivery and squeeze profit margins. Efficient logistics management is essential, yet it is often hampered by these external factors. Payment processing, while needing to ensure security and user convenience, grapples with preventing fraud and integrating diverse payment methods, adding another layer of complexity. Furthermore, fulfillment operations require a streamlined approach to handle volume spikes and maintain accuracy in order picking, packing, and shipping, all while meeting customers' heightened expectations for faster delivery times.
Amid these operational challenges, customer data has emerged as an important strategy. By focusing on personalization and enhancing customer experience from historical behavior, businesses can deliver improved website and brand experienced, better product recommendations, optimal promotions, and content to meet individual preferences. Better data analytics can also help in effectively creating marketing campaigns, improving customer retention, and driving product development and inventory management.
Innovative formats such as social commerce and live shopping are beginning to impact the digital commerce landscape, offering new ways to engage with customers and drive sales, and may provide opportunity for brands that have been priced out or seen a downturn with post-pandemic shopping behavior. Social commerce integrates shopping experiences directly into social media platforms, tapping into the massive user bases of these networks to increase reach and engagement. Live shopping, on the other hand, combines entertainment and real-time interaction, providing a dynamic platform for showcasing products and encouraging immediate purchases. These innovations not only enhance customer engagement but also provide valuable data for businesses to refine their strategies and deliver superior shopping experiences.
The e-commerce sector is evolving rapidly, and businesses that effectively manage operational challenges and implement innovative strategies are best positioned for long-term success.

Raw materials, Work in process,
Finished goods and stores & spares
3. Inventory Management- objectives
• minimize investments in inventory
• meet the demand for products by
efficiently organizing the production &
sales operations
4. COSTS OF HOLDING INVENTORIES
• Ordering costs
• Inventory Carrying costs
• Opportunity costs of funds blocked
• Shortage
6. TOOLS & TECHNIQUES OF INVENTORY
MANAGEMENT/ CONTROL
• ABC Analysis
• Economic Ordering Quantity (EOQ)
• Order Point Problem
• Two Bin Technique
• VED Classification
• HML Classification
• SDE Classification
• FSN Classification
• Order Cycling System
• Just In Time (JIT)
7. ABC Analysis
CATEGORY NO. OF ITEMS(%) ITEM VALUE(%) MANAGEMENT
CONTROL
A 15 70 (HIGHEST) MAXIMUM
B 30 20(MODERATE) MODERATE
C 55 10(LEAST) MINIMUM
TOTAL 100 100
8. Economic Ordering Quantity (EOQ)
• Level of Inventory at which
• Total Cost* of Inventory is MINIMUM
*(Ordering and Carrying Cost)
9. EOQ MODEL
2UP
Q =
S
Q = Economic Order Quantity
U = Annual usage/demand
P = Cost of Placing an order
S = Storage cost per unit per order
* Where Storage cost is given in % , it is always calculated by
multiplying the % with the purchase price of raw material
per unit, i.e Storage cost = % X Purchase price of raw
material
10. BEHAVIOUR OF INVENTORY RELATED COSTS
Costs
Total costs
Carrying costs
Ordering costs
Quantity ordered
11. EOQ- Example
• A firm’s annual inventory is 1,600 units. The cost of placing
an order is Rs 50, purchase price of raw material/unit is
Rs.10 and the carrying costs is expected to be 10% per unit
p.a. Calculate EOQ?
U=1600, P= Rs. 50, S= .10 x Rs.10=Rs.1
EOQ = 2 x 1600 x 50
1
= 400 units
12. Order Point Problem
• The re-order point is that level of inventory when a fresh
order should be placed with suppliers. It is that inventory
level which is equal to the consumption during the lead
time or procurement time.
• Re-order level = (Daily usage × Lead time) + Safety stock.
• Minimum level = Re-order level – (Normal usage × Average
delivery time).
• Maximum level = Reorder level – (Minimum usage ×
Maximum delivery time) + Re-order quantity.
• Average stock level = Minimum level + (Re-order
quantity)/2.
• Danger level = (Average consumption per day × Lead time
in days for emergency purchases).
13. Two Bin Technique
• Control of Category ‘C’ inventories
• Two Bins/Groups
First Bin- just enough to last from the date a
new order is placed until it is received
for inventory.
Second Bin- enough to meet current demand
over the period of replenishment.
14. VED Classification
• Specifically used for Classification of SPARE
PARTS
V- part is VITAL( high stock level)
E- part is ESSENTIAL (moderate stock level )
D- part is DESIRABLE (minimum stock level )
15. HML Classification
• Material classified on the basis of UNIT VALUE
H- HIGH VALUE
M- MEDIUM VALUE
L – LOW VALUE
16. FSN Classification
• Inventory is classified based on the
MOVEMENT OF INVENTORIES from stores
• Inventory technique used to AVOID
OBSOLESCENCE
F- Fast moving
S- Slow moving
N- Non moving
17. ORDERING CYCLING SYSTEM
• Periodic reviews are made
• of each item of inventory
• & orders are placed
• to restore stock
• to a prescribed stock level
18. JUST-IN-TIME (JIT) INVENTORY CONTROL
• The JIT control system implies that the firm should
maintain a minimal level of inventory and rely on
suppliers to provide parts and components ‘just-in-time’
to meet its assembly requirements.
• JIT also known as Zero Inventory Production Systems(ZIPS),
Zero Inventories(ZIN), Materials as Needed(MAN), or Neck of
Time(N0T)
19. JIT Vs. JIC
• This may be contrasted with the traditional
inventory management system which calls for
maintaining a healthy level of safety stock to
provide a reasonable protection against
uncertainties of consumption and supply – the
traditional system may be referred to as a
“just-in-case” system.
• The most commonly used tools of inventory
management in India are: ABC analysis, FSN
analysis and inventory turnover analysis.
