Gestion des stocks


1 Rôle du stock
You manage a production line consisting of two machines in series, separated by an
inventory. Machine A produces raw parts at a rate of P parts per hour. These parts are
immediately used by Machine B, which consumes them at a rate of C parts per hour. Machine
A is faster than Machine B (P > C).

1.What is the output rate in parts of the line, and what is the growth rate of the intermediate
stock when both machines are operating continuously?

The system study shows that Machine A cannot operate continuously, so it is decided to
produce Q parts every T hours. The machine operates for a time T1 and is then stopped for a
time T2. The machines are very reliable, so Machine A is started when the intermediate stock
is empty.

2.Draw the evolution of the stock, starting from time 0, where the stock is empty and both
machines start, up to time T. Let Smax denote the maximum stock level.

You are responsible for the procurement of product A. The purchase price is €50 regardless of
the order volume, and the lead time is 1 month between order placement and receipt. The
ordering cost is €400.

Your forecasted consumption is 2400 units per year, and it can be considered stable. The
holding cost rate is 24% per year.

1. What is the optimal order quantity and frequency to minimize total costs?
2. What is the annual cost of this policy?
3. The supplier only sells in batches of 500. What are the consequences for your policy?
4. The supplier offers a 1% discount if you order a quantity of 1000 or more. Would this
offer interest you?

3 Variable costs

You manage the procurement of a product for which the daily demand is 100 units. The
holding costs are €1 per day. The ordering costs (which include delivery fees) depend on the
quantity to be delivered:

1. For a quantity less than 400, road transport is used, and the ordering cost is Cc =
€1000.
2. For quantities above 400, rail transport is used, and the ordering cost is Cc = €1500.

What quantity should you order?

4 Variable costs

The demand is for 100 units per day, the delivery cost Cc = €1000, and the holding cost Cp =
€1 per unit per day. Your supplier offers tiered pricing: the first 400 units are charged at €10
each, the next 200 at €9.5 each, and above 600 units, the price is €9 per unit (for example,
purchasing 500 units costs 400 * 10 + 100 * 9.5).

What quantity should you order?

5 Variables costs (2)

You manage the supply of a product for which the annual demand is estimated at 5000 units.
The ordering cost is estimated at €70, and the storage rate applied is 25% per year of the
highest unit price.

You have received two proposals from two different suppliers, F1 and F2, whose
characteristics are detailed below.
Supplier F1 offers a pricing scale with uniform discounts (the price applies to all units in the
order):

Order quantity Unit price

Supplier F2 offers a pricing scale with tiered discounts (the discount only applies to quantities
that exceed the threshold):

 Which supplier should be chosen, and what is the annual saving compared to the other
supplier? Justify your answer by detailing the calculation of quantities and costs.
 What do you think of the solution obtained?

6 Safety stock
The weekly demand for an item varies between 14 and 19 units. The item is managed using
the periodic replenishment method. The following table shows the weekly demand for the
item recorded over the past 50 weeks.

16 15 14 14 14 17 19 14 14 16
18 14 16 17 15 15 15 14 16 16
19 18 14 14 15 15 18 17 14 17
15 14 15 14 16 18 16 14 16 15
14 15 17 15 17 15 14 16 14 14

 Based on this data, establish the weekly demand distribution for the item.
 What is the average weekly demand for this item?
 What is the replenishment threshold required to ensure a time-based service level (a) of
85%?
 For the replenishment threshold found, calculate the average shortage and the unit-based
service level (b).
