• Partially completed goods called work in progress
• Finished-goods inventories
– (manufacturing firms) or merchandise (retail stores)

Functions of Inventory
• Meet anticipated demand• Smooth production requirements• Decouple components (areas) of the production-
distribution• Protect against stock-outs• Take advantage of order cycles• Help hedge against price increases or to take
advantage of quantity discounts• Permit operations (operation lead time)
CHAPTER THIRTEENINVENTORY MANAGEMENT
MTSU Management 362 13-7
Concerns of Inventory Control• Level of customer service
– have the right goods, in sufficient quantities, in the right place, at the right time
– in other words, the customer gets what ever he/she wants when he/she wants it
• Inventory-related costs – ordering costs– carrying costs
CHAPTER THIRTEENINVENTORY MANAGEMENT
MTSU Management 362 13-8
Objectives of Inventory Management (1 of 2)
• Achieve satisfactory levels of customer service while keeping inventory costs within reasonable bounds
• Two fundamental decisions
– how much to order
– when to place the order
CHAPTER THIRTEENINVENTORY MANAGEMENT
MTSU Management 362 13-9
• Possible performance measures
– customer satisfaction• number of backorders/lost sales• number of customer complaints
– inventory turnover• ratio of annual cost of goods sold to average inventory
investment
– days of inventory• expected number of days of sales that can be supplied
from existing inventory
Objectives of Inventory Management (2 of 2)
CHAPTER THIRTEENINVENTORY MANAGEMENT
MTSU Management 362 13-10
Requirements forEffective Inventory Management
• A system to keep track of the inventory on hand and on order
• A classification system for inventory items• A reliable forecast of demand that includes an
measure of forecast error• Reasonable estimates of inventory holding costs,
ordering costs, and shortage costs• Knowledge of lead times and lead time variability
CHAPTER THIRTEENINVENTORY MANAGEMENT
MTSU Management 362 13-11
Inventory Counting Systems (1 of 2)
• Perpetual Inventory (Continual) System
– Keeps track of removals from and receipts into inventory continuously
• Cycle counting - taking physical counts of items and reconciling
with records on a continual
rotating basis

Inventory Counting Systems (2 of 2)
• Universal Product Code - Bar code printed on a label that hasinformation about the item to which it is attached
• Periodic System
– Physical count of items made at periodic intervals

Cost Information• Holding or carrying costs
• Ordering costs
CHAPTER THIRTEENINVENTORY MANAGEMENT
MTSU Management 362 13-17
Holding or Carrying Costs• Cost to carry a unit in inventory for a
length of time
• Includes interest (opportunity cost), insurance, taxes, depreciation, obsolescence, deterioration
• May be expressed as a percentage of unit price or as a dollar amount per unit
CHAPTER THIRTEENINVENTORY MANAGEMENT
MTSU Management 362 13-18
Ordering Costs• Cost of ordering and receiving inventory
• Include determining how much is needed, preparing invoices, shipping costs, inspecting goods upon receipt for quantity and quality
• Generally expressed as a fixed dollar amount, regardless of order size
CHAPTER THIRTEENINVENTORY MANAGEMENT
MTSU Management 362 13-19
Shortage Costs• Result when demand exceeds the inventory
on hand
• Include the opportunity cost of not making a sales, loss of customer goodwill, late charges, and in the case of internal customers, the cost of lost production or downtime
• Difficult to measure, thus may have be subjectively estimated

Basic Systems for Independent Demand• Fixed-order-quantity systems
– basic economic order quantity (EOQ) model [purchasing model]
– basic economic order quantity model with incremental or noninstantaneous replenishment [production order quantity]
– quantity discount model• Fixed-order-interval systems

Minimum Total Cost
The total cost curve reaches its minimum where the carrying and ordering costs are equal.
Alternatively we can use calculus by taking the first derivative of the total cost function and set the derivative (slope) equal to zero and solve for Q.
Q = 2DS

Basic Fixed Order Quantity ModelWith Incremental Replenishment
• Used to determine the order size, production lot, if an item is produced at one stage of production and then sent to the next stage or the customer
• Differs from the basic model because orders are assumed to be supplied or produced at a uniform rate (p) rather than the order being received all at once

• It is also assumed that the supply rate, p, is greater than the usage rate, u
• Figure 13-6, page 573, shows the difference between the basic EOQ model and this model

Quantity Discount Model (1 of 4)
• This model differs from the basic model because the price per unit (P) may vary with the quantity ordered
• The supplier offers a lower unit price if larger quantities are ordered at one time
• This is presented as a price or discount schedule, i.e., a certain unit price covers a certain order quantity range
CHAPTER THIRTEENINVENTORY MANAGEMENT
MTSU Management 362 13-32
Quantity Discount (2 of 4)
• Under this condition, annual product cost becomes an incremental cost and must be considered in the determination of the EOQ
• The total annual costs (TC) = Annual holding cost + annual setup cost + annual product cost
TC = (Q/2)H + (D/Q)S + DP

Quantity Discount (3 of 4)
To find the EOQ, the following procedure is used
Compute the basic EOQ using the lowest unit price and H=IP where I is an interest rate. If the resulting EOQ is feasible, i.e., that quantity can be purchased at the price used, it is optimal. Otherwise, go on to Step 2
CHAPTER THIRTEENINVENTORY MANAGEMENT
MTSU Management 362 13-35
Quantity Discount (4 of 4)
Using the EOQ from Step 1 and the discount schedule, find the price that should have been used and compute a new EOQ using this price. This new EOQ should be feasible.
Compute the TC for the EOQ found in Step 2Compute the TC for all quantities greater than
Step 2’s EOQ where a discount begins. Select the quantity with the lowest TC as the EOQ
CHAPTER THIRTEENINVENTORY MANAGEMENT
MTSU Management 362 13-36
Basis for Setting the Reorder Point
• In the fixed quantity system, the ordering process is triggered when the inventory level drops to a critical point, the reorder point (ROP)
• This starts all activities associated with placing, filling and receiving the order, or the lead time for the item
CHAPTER THIRTEENINVENTORY MANAGEMENT
MTSU Management 362 13-37
Basis for Setting the Reorder Point
• During the lead time, customers continue to draw down the inventory level
• It is during this period that the inventory is vulnerable to stockout (run out of inventory)
• When the demand during the lead time is not known or not constant, a certain amount of inventory above the average or expected demand is carried; this is safety stock

Basis for Setting the Reorder Point
• Determinants of the reorder point
– The rate and distribution of demand
– The distribution of lead time
– The degree of stockout risk acceptable to management, customer service level
• Reorder point (ROP) = Expected demand during lead time + safety stock
CHAPTER THIRTEENINVENTORY MANAGEMENT
MTSU Management 362 13-40
Basis for Setting the Reorder Point
• Customer service level
– order cycle service level is the probability that demand will not exceed supply during the lead time
– annual service level is the percentage of demand filled directly from inventory

Administration of the System• Using the perpetual counting system, a signal is given when
the records indicate that the inventory reaches the ROP
• Using the periodic counting system, a two-bin system could be used– two bins of inventory
– bin A holds an amount equal to the reorder point
– bin B holds the remainder of the order
– customers are supplied out of bin B
– when bin B is empty, it is time to reorder
– customers are then supplied out of bin A until the order arrives

Operation of Fixed-Order-Interval Systems• As demand for the inventoried item occurs, the
inventory level drops• When a prescribed period of time has elapsed,
the ordering process is triggered, i.e., the time between orders is fixed or constant
• At that time the order quantity is determined using order quantity = target maximum level - current inventory level
CHAPTER THIRTEENINVENTORY MANAGEMENT
MTSU Management 362 13-49
• After the lead time elapses, the ordered quantity is received, and the inventory level increases
• The maximum inventory level is expected demand during protection interval + safety stock, or

Administration of the System• Using the periodic counting system, the
inventory is reviewed (counted) at the end of each order interval
• Using the perpetual counting system, an item’s inventory level is checked in the inventory at the end of each order internal

Reasons to Use
• Supplier’s policy might encourage use
• Some situations do not lend themselves to continuous monitoring
• Used where it is desirable to physically count inventory each time an order is placed
CHAPTER THIRTEENINVENTORY MANAGEMENT
MTSU Management 362 13-52
Benefits/Advantages• Benefits
– results in tight control needed for A items in a A-B-C classification
– grouping ordering to one supplier may result in savings
• Disadvantages– larger amount of safety stock needed for the
same service level– cost of periodic reviews
CHAPTER THIRTEENINVENTORY MANAGEMENT
Single-Period Model
CHAPTER THIRTEENINVENTORY MANAGEMENT
MTSU Management 362 13-54
Single-Period Model• Used to handle ordering of perishables
and items with a limited useful life
• Focuses on two costs
– shortage cost - unrealized profit per unit = revenue per unit minus cost per unit
– excess cost - purchase cost minus salvage value

Optimal Stocking Level
In the case where the distribution of demand is continuous, find the order quantity that provides the area under the distribution and to the left equal to the optimal service level
In the case where the distribution of demand is discrete, choose the order quantity so that provides the optimal service level is equaled or exceeded
