Inventory
Stock of items kept by an
organization to meet internal or
external customer demand.
Inventory management answers
two questions
How much to order
When to order
To Accompany Russell and Taylor, Operations Management, 4th Edition, 2003 Prentice-Hall, Inc. All rights reserved.
Types of Inventory
Raw materials
Purchased parts and supplies
Labor
In-process (partially completed) products
Component parts
Working capital
Tools, machinery, and equipment
To Accompany Russell and Taylor, Operations Management, 4th Edition, 2003 Prentice-Hall, Inc. All rights reserved.
Reasons to Hold
Inventory
Meet unexpected demand
Smooth seasonal or cyclical demand
Meet variations in supplier deliveries
Take advantage of
price discounts
Hedge against price
increases
Quantity discounts
To Accompany Russell and Taylor, Operations Management, 4th Edition, 2003 Prentice-Hall, Inc. All rights reserved.
Two Forms of Demand
Dependent
Items used internally to produce final
products

Independent
Items demanded by external customers
To Accompany Russell and Taylor, Operations Management, 4th Edition, 2003 Prentice-Hall, Inc. All rights reserved.
Inventory Costs
Carrying Cost/Holding Cost
Cost of holding an item in inventory
Ordering Cost
Cost of replenishing inventory
Shortage Cost/Stock Out cost
Temporary or permanent loss of
sales when demand cannot be met
Set Up Cost
Costs for arranging specific
equipment setups, etc


To Accompany Russell and Taylor, Operations Management, 4th Edition, 2003 Prentice-Hall, Inc. All rights reserved.

Carrying Cost

Cost of holding an item in inventory
Cost depends on
Quantity of inventory
Length of time
Cost that increases linearly the number of units
Examples
Facility of Storage ( rent, power, heat cooling etc)
Material Handling Equipment
Labor
Record keeping
Production deterioration, spoilage
Two ways to specify carrying cost
Assign total carrying cost(sum all the individual cost on per
unit per time bases. (Example Rs 10 per unit per year)
Percentage of value of an item or % of average inventory
Value





To Accompany Russell and Taylor, Operations Management, 4th Edition, 2003 Prentice-Hall, Inc. All rights reserved.
Ordering Cost

The cost of replenishing inventory
Expressed as amount/order and are
independent of the order size.
Any cost that increases linearly with
number of orders
Examples
Requisition and purchase order
Transportation and shipping
Receiving
Inspection
Handling
Accounting and auditing
Increase in order size , decrease in order cost, increase in carrying
cost
To Accompany Russell and Taylor, Operations Management, 4th Edition, 2003 Prentice-Hall, Inc. All rights reserved.
Shortage Cost

Temporary or permanent loss of
sales when demand can not be met
Result into
loss of profit
Customer dissatisfaction
Loss of goodwill
Permanent loss of customer and future
sale
Work stopage result into downtime
cost and cost of lost production

Inventory Systems
Single-Period Inventory Model
One time purchasing decision (Example:
vendor selling t-shirts at a football game)
Seeks to balance the costs of inventory
overstock and under stock
Multi-Period Inventory Models
Fixed-Order Quantity Models
Event triggered (Example: running out of
stock)
Fixed-Time Period Models
Time triggered (Example: Monthly sales call
by sales representative)

This model states that we

inventory so long as the
probability of selling the
last unit added is equal to
or greater than the ratio
of: Cu/Co+Cu

Single Period Model Example
Our college basketball team is playing in a
tournament game this weekend. Based on our
past experience we sell on average 2,400 shirts
with a standard deviation of 350. We make Rs100
on every shirt we sell at the game, but lose Rs50
on every shirt not sold. How many shirts should
we make for the game?
C
u
= Rs100 and C
o
= Rs50; P 100 / (100 + 50) = .667

Z
.667
= .432 (use NORMSDIST(.667) or Appendix E)
therefore we need 2,400 + .432(350) = 2,551 shirts

Inventory Control
Systems (Multi Period
Inventory Models)
Continuous system (fixed-order-
quantity Model/ Perpetual system/EOQ
or Q Model)
Periodic system (fixed-time-period/
Period Review system/P Model)
To Accompany Russell and Taylor, Operations Management, 4th Edition, 2003 Prentice-Hall, Inc. All rights reserved.
Continuous System
Constant amount ordered when inventory declines to
reorder point (predetermined level)
The order that is placed is of fixed amount that
minimize the total inventory cost. This amount is
called EOQ(Economic Order Quantity).
Positive features is continuous monitoring.
Negative aspect :: maintaining a continuous
record is costly
Check out system with a laser scanner used by
super malls
To Accompany Russell and Taylor, Operations Management, 4th Edition, 2003 Prentice-Hall, Inc. All rights reserved.
Periodic system
Order placed for variable amount after fixed
passage of time
Decision of order quantity is taken each time
when order is placed
No need to monitor inventory in between
the time intervals
Positive aspects :: no need of record
keeping, larger inventory level to guard
against unexpected stockouts
Disadvantage :: less direct control
Example :: College bookstore

ABC Classification
System
An inventory classification system where
small % of items account for most of the
inventory value
Demand volume and value of items vary
Classify inventory into 3 categories,
typically on the basis of the dollar value
to the firm
PERCENTAGE PERCENTAGE
CLASS OF UNITS OF DOLLARS

A 5 - 15 70 - 80
B 30 15
C 50 - 60 5 - 10
To Accompany Russell and Taylor, Operations Management, 4th Edition, 2003 Prentice-Hall, Inc. All rights reserved.
Each class requires different level of
inventory monitoring and control
the higher the value of the inventory
the tighter the control
Rationale for ABC Classification ::
Continuous inventory monitoring was
expensive and not justified for many
items
To Accompany Russell and Taylor, Operations Management, 4th Edition, 2003 Prentice-Hall, Inc. All rights reserved.
First Step in ABC Analysis is to classify all
inventory items as either A,B or C
Assign a dollar value to each item, which is computed
by multiplying the dollar cost of one unit by the annual
demand for that item.
Rank all the items according to their annual dollar value
( the top 10% as A items, the next 30% as B items and
the last 60% as C items
Second Step is to determine the level of inventory
control for each classification
Class A ::
tight inventory control.
Inventory level should be as low as possible,
minimized safety stock
Need accurate demand forecast and detailed record
keeping
Appropriate inventory ctrl system and inventory modeling
procedure should be used to determine the order quantity
Close attention to be given to purchasing policies and
procedures

To Accompany Russell and Taylor, Operations Management, 4th Edition, 2003 Prentice-Hall, Inc. All rights reserved.
Class B and C need less stringent inventory
control
Carrying cost of Class C is usually lower,
therefore it is possible to maintain a larger
safety stock
No need to control C items beyond simple
observation
Apart from cost, the scarcity of parts
or difficulty of supply may also be
reasons for giving high priority

EOQ Model
A formula to determine the optimal
order size that minimizes the sum of
carrying cost and ordering cost
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
The order quantity is received all at
once

When to Order
Reorder Point is the level of inventory
at which a new order is placed
R = dL
where

d = demand rate per period
L = lead time
To Accompany Russell and Taylor, Operations Management, 4th Edition, 2003 Prentice-Hall, Inc. All rights reserved.
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

Example of the Fixed-Time Period Model
Average daily demand for a product
is 20 units. The review period is 30
days, and lead time is 10 days.
Management has set a policy of
satisfying 96 percent of demand
from items in stock. At the
beginning of the review period there
are 200 units in inventory. The daily
demand standard deviation is 4
units.
Given the information below, how many
units should be ordered?
