    The EOQ Model Assumptions

  • 8/9/2019 POM 19 - Inventory

    19/70

    Upendra Kachru OPERATIONS MANAGEMENTProf. Upendra Kachru 19

    The basic assumptions in the EOQ Model are as

    follows: The rate of demand for the item is deterministic and is a

    constant D units per annum independent of time.

    Lead time is zero or constant and it is independent of

    both demand as well as the quantity ordered.

    Price per unit of product is constant Inventory holding cost is based on average inventory

    Ordering or setup costs are constant

    Upendra Kachru OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT

    A company, for one of its class A items, placed 8 orders each for a lot of 150numbers, in a year. Given that the ordering cost is Rs. 5,400.00, theinventory holding cost is 40 percent, and the cost per unit is Rs. 40.00. Find

    out if the company is making a loss in not using the EOQ Model for order

    quantity policies.

    What are your recommendations for ordering the item in the future? And

    what should be the reorder level, if the lead time to deliver the item is 6months?

    D = Annual demand = 8*150 = 1200 units

    v = Unit purchase cost = Rs. 40.00

    A = Ordering Cost = Rs. 5400.00

    r = Holding Cost = 40%

    OQ Model Problem

  • 8/9/2019 POM 19 - Inventory

    25/70

    Upendra Kachru OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT

    Using the Economic Order Equation:

    QEOQ = (2*A*D /r*v) = 900 units.

    Minimum Total Annual Cost (TC) = 2*A*D*r*v = Rs. 14,400.00

    The Total annual Cost under the present system = Rs. 45,000.00

    The loss to the company = Rs. 45,000 Rs. 14,400 = Rs.30,600.00

    Reorder Level = Ro = L*D = (6/12)* 1200 = 600 unitsThe company should place orders for economic lot sizes of 900 units in

    each order.

    It should have a reorder level at 600 units.

    TC= = 2*5400*1200*0.40*40

    QEOQ

    = (2*5400*1200)/(0.40*40)

    = Rs. (1200*5400/150 +0.40*40*150/2) = Rs.

    Quantity discounts, which are price incentives to purchaselarge quantities, create pressure to maintain a large

    inventory.

    For any per-unit price level, P, the total cost is:

    Step 1. Beginning with the lowestprice, calculatethe EOQ for each price level until a feasible EOQis found. It is feasible if it lies in the range

    corresponding to its price.

    Step 2. If the first feasible EOQ found is for thelowest price level, this quantity is the best lot size.

    Step 3. Otherwise, calculate the total cost for the

    price break quantity at each lower price level. The

    quantity with the lowest total cost is optimal.

  • 8/9/2019 POM 19 - Inventory

    35/70

    Upendra Kachru OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT

    In many retail merchandising systems, a fixed-timeperiod system is used. Sales people make routinevisits to customers and take orders. Inventory,

    therefore, is counted only at particular times.

    Fixed-time period models generate order quantities

    that vary from period to period, depending on theusage rates.

    Fixed-Period Model

    Answers how much to order Orders placed at fixed intervals

    Inventory brought up to target amount

    Single-Period Inventory Models are a

    special case of periodic inventory systems.

    One time purchasing decision

    Seeks to balance the costs of inventory

    overstock and under stock

    It is used for a wide variety of service and

    manufacturing applications

    The model identifies two penalty costs which are incurred

    regardless of a decision:

    Cost of Overage

    CO = Purchase Price - Salvage Value = c - s

    For each item overstocked the vendor incurs a penalty cost

    Cost of Underage

    CU = Selling Price - Purchase Price = p - c

    For each item understocked the vendor incurs a penalty

    (opportunity) cost

    Single-Period Inventory Model

  • 8/9/2019 POM 19 - Inventory

    50/70

    Upendra Kachru OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT

    If we know the probability that the unit will be sold is P; theexpected marginal cost equation can be represented as:

    P (Co) < (1- P) Cu

    Here (1-P) is the probability of the unit not being sold. Solving for P, we

    obtain

    P < [Cu/ (Co + Cu)]

    This equation states that we should continue to increase the

    size of the order as long as the probability of selling what we

    order is equal to or less than the Ratio Cu/ (Co + Cu).

    The Classical Newsvendors Problem

  • 8/9/2019 POM 19 - Inventory

    51/70

    Upendra Kachru OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT

    A newspaper vendor is faced with the problem of decidinghow many newspapers to order daily so as to maximize the

    daily profit.

    Daily demand (d) for newspapers is a random variable.

    No reordering is possible during a day,

    If the newsvendor orders fewer papers than customers demandhe or she will lose the opportunity to sell some papers.

    If supply exceeds demand, the vendor will be stuck with paperswhich cannot be sold.

    Based on observations over several weeks, the vendor has establishedthe following probability distribution of daily demand:

    Assume that there is already a policy in place to order a certain number of papersdaily, say 38.

    Consider the decisions:

    D1 : Continue the present policy: Stock 38 papers.

    D2 : Order one more paper: Stock 39 papers.

    The possible events are:

    E1 : The 39th paper sells (i.e. demand 39 = demand > 38).E2 : The 39th paper does not sell (i.e. demand 39 = demand 38).

    Item 39 will notsell on a given day only if demand on that

    day is for 38 or fewer items:

    P(D 38) = F(38) = 0.20.

    The probability that an item will notsell is the cumulative

    probability associated with theprevious item. Item 39 will

    sell on a given day only if demand on that day is for 39 ormore items:

    P(D 39) = 1 - P(D 38) = 1 - F(38) = 1 -

    0.2 = 0.80.

    The expected payoff is:

    Rs. 3(0.8) + (- Rs. 2)(0.2) = Rs. 2.

    This implies an increase in profit ofRs. 2.00 as compared to the

    alternative decision which has apayoff of Rs. 0.00. He should stock

    the 39th paper.

    After prayers at the Siababa temple

    on Thursdays, people go to a vendor

    to eat food. The vendor has

    collected data over a few months

    that show, on an average, 100 mealswere sold with a standard deviation

    of 10 meals.

    If our vendor wants to be 90

    percent sure of not running out of

    food each Thursday, how manymeals should he prepare?

    Example

    Problem and Solution

    56/70

    Upendra Kachru OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT

    If we assume that the distribution is normal and the vendor prepared food for

    exactly 100 persons, the risk of food running out would be 50 percent. The demand

    would be expected to be less than 100 meals 50 percent of the time, and greaterthan 100 the other 50 percent.

    To be 90 percent sure of not falling short, he needs to prepare more food.

    From the standard normal distribution, we can find out that he needs to haveadditional food to cover 1.282 standard deviations.

    In order to ensure that he is 90 percent sure having sufficient food:The number extra food required would be 1.282 x 10 = 12.82, or 113 meals.

    Inventory Control by Classification

    Upendra Kachru OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT

    The inventory of a medium sized business organization wouldcomprise thousands of items, each item with different usage,

    price, lead time and specifications. There could be different

    procurement and technical problems associated with different

    items. In order to escape this quagmire many selective inventory

    management techniques are used.

    Vilfredo Paretos 80-20 rule.

    The Pareto Rule is based on focusing efforts where the payoffis highest; i.e. high-value, high-usage items must be tracked

    carefully and continuously.

    Typically only 20 percent of all the items account for 80

    percent of the total rupee usage, while the remaining 80percent of the items typically account for remaining 20

    percent of the rupee value.

    The large value items constitute only 20 percent, the ParetoRule makes analysis the task of inventory analysis relatively

    easier.

    Average Inventory Investment: The rupee value of a

    companys average level of inventory is one of the mostcommon measures of inventory.

    Inventory Turnover Ratio: It is a ratio that measures howmany times during a year the inventory turns around.
