model and solve typical problems.

solve typical problems.

Inventory
Inventory: a stock or store of goods Independent Demand
A Dependent Demand
B(4) C(2)
D(2) E(1) D(3) F(2)
Independent demand is uncertain.

Dependent demand is certain.
12-4
Inventory Models
 Independent demand – finished goods, items
that are ready to be sold
 E.g. a computer
 Dependent demand – components of
finished products
 E.g. parts that make up the computer
12-5
Types of Inventories
 Raw materials & purchased parts
 Partially completed goods called
work in progress
 Finished-goods inventories
 (manufacturing firms)
or merchandise
(retail stores)
12-6
Types of Inventories (Cont’d)
 Replacement parts, tools, & supplies
 Goods-in-transit to warehouses or
customers
12-7
Functions of Inventory
 To meet anticipated demand

 To smooth production requirements
 To decouple operations
 To protect against stock-outs
12-8
Functions of Inventory (Cont’d)
 To take advantage of order cycles

 To help hedge against price increases
 To permit operations
 To take advantage of quantity
discounts
12-9
Objective of Inventory Control
 To achieve satisfactory levels of
customer service while keeping
inventory costs within reasonable
bounds
 Level of customer service
 Costs of ordering and carrying inventory
Inventory turnover is the ratio of

average cost of goods sold to
average inventory investment.
12-10
Effective Inventory Management
 A system to keep track of inventory
 A reliable forecast of demand
 Knowledge of lead times
 Reasonable estimates of
 Holding costs
 Ordering costs
 Shortage costs
 A classification system
12-11
Inventory Counting Systems
 Periodic System
Physical count of items made at periodic
intervals
 Perpetual Inventory System
System that keeps track
of removals from inventory
continuously, thus
monitoring
current levels of
each item
12-12
Inventory Counting Systems
(Cont’d)
 Two-Bin System - Two containers of
inventory; reorder when the first is
empty
 Universal Bar Code - Bar code
printed on a label that has
information about the item
to which it is attached 0
214800 232087768
12-13
Key Inventory Terms
 Lead time: time interval between
ordering and receiving the order
 Holding (carrying) costs: cost to carry
an item in inventory for a length of time,
usually a year
 Ordering costs: costs of ordering and
receiving inventory
 Shortage costs: costs when demand
exceeds supply
12-14
ABC Classification System

measure of importance and allocating
control efforts accordingly.

B - mod. important High

C - least important Annual

Percentage of Items
12-15
Cycle Counting
 A physical count of items in inventory

 Cycle counting management
 How much accuracy is needed?
 When should cycle counting be performed?
 Who should do it?
12-16
Economic Order Quantity Models
 Economic order quantity (EOQ) model

 The order size that minimizes total annual
cost
 Economic production model
 Quantity discount model
12-17
Assumptions of EOQ Model
 Only one product is involved

 Annual demand requirements known
 Demand is even throughout the year
 Lead time does not vary
 Each order is received in a single
delivery
 There are no quantity discounts

Deriving the EOQ
Using calculus, we take the derivative of

the total cost function and set the
derivative (slope) equal to zero and solve
for Q.
