movement and storage of materials within a warehouse,

and processes the associated transactions

Inventory Counting Systems

Periodic counting

Physical count of items made

at periodic intervals

Perpetual (or continual)

tracking keeps track of

removals from and additions

to inventory continuously,

thus providing current levels

of each item

Inventory Replenishment

Fixed Order Quantity/Reorder Point Model

An order of a fixed size is placed when the amount on hand drops below a minimum quantity called the reorder point

Two-Bin System

Two containers of inventory; reorder when the first is empty

Bar Code

A number assigned to an item or location, made of a group of vertical bars of different thickness that are readable by a scanner

Universal Product Code (UPC)

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology that uses a RFID tag

attached to the item that emits radio waves to identify items.

Inventory Costs

Holding (carrying) costs

cost to carry an item in inventory

Ordering costs

costs determining order quantity, preparing purchase orders, and fixed cost portion of receiving, inspection, and material handling

Setup costs

Time spent preparing equipment for the job by adjusting machine, changing tools, etc

Shortage costs

costs when demand exceeds supply; often unrealized profit per unit

Assumptions of EOQ Model

1. Only one product is involved

2. Annual demand requirements known

3. Demand is even throughout the year

4. Lead time does not vary

5. Each order is received in a single delivery

6. There are no quantity discounts

7. Shortage is not allowed

1. You receive an order (size = Q)

expires, when 0 on hand. The cycle

The EOQ model is robust

It works even if all parameters

and assumptions are not met

The total cost curve is relatively flat near the

EOQ (especially to the right)

The setup cost is $200 and the annual holding cost rate is $.55 per bag. Calculate the EPQ, the total cost, the cycle length and optimal production run length.

Best Purchase Quantity Procedure

begin with the lowest unit price

compute the EOQ for each price range

stop when find a feasible EOQ

Is EOQ for the lowest unit price feasible?

Yes: it is the optimal order

quantity

No: compare total cost at all break quantities larger

than feasible EOQ

32

The quantity that yields the

lowest total cost is optimum

Example: Quantity Discounts

Below is a quantity discount schedule for an item with an annual demand of 10,000 units that a company orders regularly at an ordering cost of $4. The annual holding cost is 2% of the purchase price per year. Determine the optimal order quantity.

Fixed Order Quantity/Reorder Point Model

Safety Stock

1. Variability of demand and lead time

2b. Annual service level

42

Reorder Point = Expected demand + Safety Stock

(ROP) during lead time

Copyright © 2010 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.LO 4

When to Reorder with EOQ Ordering

Reorder Point – When inventory level drops to this amount, the item is reordered.

Safety Stock - Stock that is held in excess of expected demand due to variability of demand and/or lead time.

Service Level – Probability demand will not exceed supply.

Lead time service level: probability that demand will not exceed supply during lead time.

Annual service level: percentage of annual demand filled.

Example 1: ROP with Lead Time Service Level

Calculate the ROP required to achieve a 95% service level

for a product with average demand of 350 units per week and

a standard deviation of demand during lead time of 10. Lead

time averages one week.

From Table 12-3 (p434), z for 95% = 1.65

ROP = 350 + ZdLT

= 350 + 1.65 (10)

= 350 + 16.5 = 366.5 ≈ 367

A new order should be placed when

inventory level reaches 367 units.51

Copyright © 2010 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.LO 5

Example 2: ROP with Lead Time Service Level

Calculate the ROP and amount of safety stock required to

achieve a 90% service level for a product with variable

demand that averages 15 units per day with a standard

deviation of 5. Lead time is consistently 2 days.

From Table 12-3 (p434), z for 90% = 1.28

ROP = (15 units x 2 days) + ZdLT

= 30 + 1.28 ( 2) (5)

= 30 + 8.96 = 38.96 ≈ 39

Safety stock is about 9 units and

a new order should be placed when

inventory level reaches 39 units.52

Copyright © 2010 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.LO 5

Example 3: ROP with Lead Time Service Level

Calculate the ROP for a product that has an average demand of

150 units per day and a standard deviation of 16. Lead time

averages 5 days, with a standard deviation of 2. The company

wants no more than 5% stockouts.

service level = 1 – 5% = 95%From Table 12-3 (p434), z for 95% = 1.65

Place a new order when inventory level reaches 1004 units

53

ROP = (150 units x 5 days) + 1.65dlt

= (150 x 5) + 1.65 (5 days x 162) + (1502 x 12)

= 750 + 1.65 (154) = 1,004 units

= 800 + 2.32 (25.298)

= 858.7 or 859 units stock up to level

Average daily demand for a product is 20 units, with a standard deviation of 4 units. The order interval is 30 days, and lead time is 10 days. Desired service level is 99%. If there are currently 200 units on hand, how many should be ordered?
