Inventory Accuracy and Cycle Counting
Inventory accuracy refers to how well the inventory records agree with physical count
Cycle Counting is a physical inventory-taking technique in which inventory is counted on a frequent basis rather than once or twice a year

Solved Problems – OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT(Class of 2010)
Q1. A supplier is offering stainless steel bars at Rs 95 per kg for order of upto 100kg each, and at Rs 80 per kg for orders of 101kg and above. Your annual requirement is 1200kg. If your ordering cost is Rs 300 per order, and holding cost is 20%, what would be the most economical quantity to order?
(10 Marks)
Answer.
E.O.Q(1) = √2 × Annual Demand × Ordering Cost
√Unit Cost × Holding Cost
E.O.Q = √2 × 1200 × 300
√95 × 0.20
E.O.Q = 195 units
E.O.Q(2) = √2 × 1200 × 300
√80 × 0.20
= 212 units
50 Now, E.O.Q (1), i.e. 195 units does not fall in the category of upto 100kg
Therefore here consider it’s optimum E.O.Q as 100 units so that it falls under the category of Rs 95 per kg
Now, find the Total Cost
For 100 units
• Ordering Cost = 1200 × 300 = Rs 3600/-
100
• Purchase Cost = 1200 × 95 = Rs 1,14,000/-
• Holding Cost = 100 × 0.2 × 95 = Rs 950/-
Therefore Total Cost = Rs 1,18,550/-
For 212 units
• Ordering Cost = 1200 × 300 = Rs 1698/-
212
• Purchase Cost = 1200 × 80 = Rs 96,000/-
51
• Holding Cost = 212 × 0.2 × 80 = Rs 1696/-
2
Therefore Total Cost = Rs 99,394/-
Therefore most Economic Order Quantity to order is 212 kgs
