11-4 Inventory Management
Functions of InventoryFunctions of Inventory
To meet anticipated demand—anticipation stock
To smooth production requirements—seasonal inventory
To decouple operations—buffer inventory
To protect against stock-outs—safety stock (stock-out inventory)
11-5 Inventory Management
Functions of Inventory (Cont’d)Functions of Inventory (Cont’d)
To take advantage of order cycles—cycle stock
To permit operations—pipeline inventory
To help hedge against price increases
To take advantage of quantity discounts
11-6 Inventory Management
Objective of Inventory ControlObjective of Inventory Control
Two key decisions When to order—timing
How much to order—size
Performance measures Inventory turnover
Days of inventory on hand

Inventory SystemsInventory Systems
Periodic SystemPhysical count of items made at periodic intervals
Perpetual Inventory System System that keeps track of removals from inventory continuously, thus monitoringcurrent levels of each item

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

Assumptions Of Basic EOQ ModelAssumptions Of Basic EOQ Model
Demand is known with certainty Demand is relatively constant over time No shortages are allowed Lead time for the receipt of orders is
constant The order quantity is received all at once

Deriving the EOQDeriving 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.
Q = 2DS
H =

The total cost curve reaches its minimum where the carrying and ordering costs are equal.

When to Reorder with EOQ OrderingWhen to Reorder with EOQ Ordering
Reorder Point - When the quantity on hand of an item drops to this amount, the item is reordered
Safety Stock - Stock that is held in excess of expected demand due to variable demand rate and/or lead time.
Service Level - Probability that demand will not exceed supply during lead time.
