The Functions of Inventory

To ”decouple” or separate various parts of the production process

To provide a stock of goods that will provide a “selection” for customers

To take advantage of quantity discounts

To hedge against inflation and upward price changes

Types of Inventory

Raw material Work-in-progress Maintenance/repair/

operating supply Finished goods

Disadvantages of Inventory Higher costs

◦ Item cost (if purchased)◦ Ordering (or setup) cost Costs of forms, clerks’ wages etc.

◦ Holding (or carrying) cost Building lease, insurance, taxes etc.

Difficult to control Hides production problems

Inventory Management

ABC Analysis

Divides on-hand inventory into 3 classes◦ A class, B class, C class

Basis is usually annual $ volume◦ $ volume = Annual demand x Unit cost

Policies based on ABC analysis◦ Develop class A suppliers more◦ Give tighter physical control of A items◦ Forecast A items more carefully

Physically counting a sample of total inventory on a regular basis

Used often with ABC classification A items counted most often

(e.g., daily)

Cycle Counting

Advantages of Cycle Counting Eliminates shutdown and

interruption of production necessary for annual physical inventories

Eliminates annual inventory adjustments

Provides trained personnel to audit the accuracy of inventory

Allows the cause of errors to be identified and remedial action to be taken

Maintains accurate inventory records

Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) Model

EOQ Assumptions

Known & constant demand Known & constant lead time Instantaneous receipt of material No quantity discounts Only order (setup) cost & holding cost No stockouts

Goal of an Inventory System

Minimize Total Cost (TC)

TC = Holding + Order/Setup Cost

TC = H + S

EOQ Thinking Challenge

You’re a buyer for Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart needs 1000 coffee makers per year. The cost of each coffee maker is $78. Ordering cost is $100 per order. Carrying cost is 40% of per unit cost. Lead time is 5 days. Wal-Mart is open 365 days/yr. What is the optimal order quantity & ROP?

Production Order Quantity Model

Production Order Quantity Model

Answers how much to order & when to order

Allows partial receipt of material◦ Other EOQ assumptions apply

Suited for production environment◦ Material produced, used immediately◦ Provides production lot size

Lower holding cost than EOQ model

POQ Model Thinking Challenge

You’re a production planner for Stanley Tools. Stanley Tools makes 30,000 screw drivers per year. Demand is 100 screw drivers per day & production is 300 per day. Production setup cost is $150 per order. Carrying cost is $1.50 per screw driver. What is the optimal lot size?

Quantity Discount Model

Answers how much to order & when to order

Allows quantity discounts◦ Reduced price when item is purchased in larger

quantities◦ Other EOQ assumptions apply

Trade-off is between lower price & increased holding cost

Quantity Discount Model Steps

Compute EOQ for each quantity discount price

Is computed EOQ in discount range?◦ If not, use the lowest cost quantity in discount

range Compute total cost for EOQ or lowest cost

quantity in discount range Select quantity with lowest total cost
