EOQ: How much to order; ROP: When to order

Re-Order Point (ROP) in periodic inventory system is the start ofthe period. Where is ROP in a perpetual system?

ROP in Perpetual System: Quantity on hand drops to apredetermined amount.

If there were no variations in demand, and demand was reallyconstant; ROP is when inventory on hand is equal to the[average] demand during lead time.

Lead Time is the time interval from placing an order until receivingthe order.

The greater the variability of demand during lead time, the greater

the need for additional inventory to reduce the risk of shortage(i.e., the greater the safety stock).

When variability exists in demand or lead time, actual demandduring lead time may exceed average demand during lead time.

If ROP is equal to average demand during lead time, there is 50%probability of satisfying all the demand.

But we want this probability to be greater than 50%. We prefer90%, 95%, or 99%.

Safety Stock (SS): serves to reduce the probability of a stockoutduring the lead time.

ROP in perpetual inventory control is the inventory level equal tothe average demand during the lead time+ a safety stock(to cover demand variability)

Example 1

Average demand for an inventory item is 200 units per

day, lead time is three days, there is no variation indemand and lead time and therefore, safety stock iszero. What is the reorder point?

In a perpetual inventory system, the ROP is the point at whichinventory on hand is equal to the [average] demand inlead time plus safety stock.

ROP = 3(200)

Whenever inventory level drops to 600 units we place anorder.

We receive the order in 3 days. Because there is no variations

in demand, there is no stock out.

Example 2

Average demand for an inventory item is 200 units per

day, lead time is three days, and safety stock is 100units. What is the reorder point

In a perpetual inventory system, the ROP is the point at whichinventory on hand is equal to the average demand in leadtime plus safety stock.

ROP = 3(200)+100

Whenever inventory level drops to 700 units we place anorder.

Since there is variation in demand, during the next three days,we may have a demand of 500, 600, 700, or even more.

When to re-order (ROP)

Demand during lead time has Normal distribution.

We can accept some risk of being out of stock,

but we usually like a risk of less than 50%.

If we order when the inventory on hand is equal

to the average demand during the lead time;

then there is 50% chance that the demand during

lead time is less than our inventory.

However, there is also 50% chance that the

demand during lead time is greater than our

inventory, and we will be out of stock for a while.

We usually do not like 50% probability of stockout

Demand During Lead Time is Variable N(,)

Average Demand of sand during lead time is 50 tons.

Standard Deviation of demand during lead time is 5 tons.Assume that management is willing to accept a risk no

more that 5%.

What is the service level?Service level = 1-risk of stockout = 1-.05 = 0.95

What is the z value corresponding to this service level?

z = 1.65

What is safety stock (ss)?

ss = z (standard deviation of demand during lead time)

ss = 1.65 (5) = 8.25

What is ROP?

ss = 1.28(10) = 12.8

ROP = Average demand during lead time + ss

ROP = 75 + 12.8 = 87.8

The general relationship between service level, risk, and

safety stock: Service level increases

Risk decreases

ss increases
