Inventory management• It is a stock of materials (inventory) which is kept
in stock to combat variations in demand, which can be regarded as a “safety stock”.
• Inventory held along the various nodes of a supply chain is termed “work in process”.
• Inventories can cost 15-40% of their value in handling, storage, insurance and slippage (damage/theft)……therefore it is easy to understand why inventory turn is so important.

Inventory locationInventories usually comprise 3 elements:
1. Input stock (Raw materials/packaging)2. Process stocks (semi finished goods)3. Output stocks (Finished products)
So in the “farm to fork” example:
• Crops in transit from farmer to manufacturing plant are?• The raw material being processed into cereal is?• The finished product sitting in a distribution centre is?• The finished product sitting in a retail store is?

Holding costInventories can accumulate as a result of poor planning and scheduling or as by design (purposeful stock holding).
Generally, inventory is viewed as a negative impact on business as it incurs:
• Costs of capital (interest paid or interest fore gone)• Storage space• Handling• Insurance• Increased risk of damage and theft• Obsolescence.

Holding cost - risk• Fashion changes (style, colour and texture),• Past ‘use-by-date’ for foods• Deterioration• Obsolescence due to new technology or to
model changes which make ‘old’• Models out of date• Damage• Pilfering/theft

Holding cost - storage• Building – the more inventory the larger the premises
• Racking – larger quantities requires specialist equipment to store
• Temperature controlled – food items often require temp control, the larger the stock the greater the energy demands to maintain good controls
• Handling cost – specialised equipment such as forklifts and staff wages; each time a box is touched it has a cost!

Holding cost - finance• Interest on money invested in stocks of
materials, either the organization has had to borrow money to pay for the stock held or the money ‘invested’ in the stock could have been used elsewhere in the organisation.
• Insurance – the greater the value of stock on hand, the higher the insurance value will need to be to cover loss and therefore increased premiums.

Re-order point – “pull” systemsStock drops
to the agreed
level and new order is placed
The agreed re-order QTY
is placed, note the
stock used after order during the lead time
Lead time from order to receipt
This is the “pull” process in action – sales happen, stock drops, order placedThe supply chain pulling product through – “value chain”
Safety stock, to prevent against stock outs if network break downs occur

Output matches demand
Demand out performs output and we eat in to safety stock
As we need to replen safety stockused in previous period our output does not give us full stock on hand requirements but low sales means
we have too much stock
This is the “push” process in action – output is premised on cost efficient Manufacturing premised on the economic order quantity (EOQ)

Push versus Pull
International Business - 'Inventory management' - Liam Fassam
11
Push versus PullIn short…..
The pull system ensures inventory is made available downstream based on demand…..
The push system feeds inventory through the supply chain regardless of current demand…..
International Business - 'Inventory management' - Liam Fassam
12
Economic order quantity (EOQ)EOQ is a push system that can be used when there is an advantage in bulk purchase/manufacture rather than making several small purchases.
EOQ assumes:• Demand is constant and known.• Deliveries are to specification, the right quantity and
on time.• There is no slippage of stock due to theft or damage.
This means that what the computer shows as being in stock is correct.

13
Calculating the EOQ
The formula for EOQ is
Q = The square root of 2 x DO/PH
Q is the EOQD is the annual demand in unitsO is the cost of raising an orderP is the price of a unitH is the holding cost

EOQ calculation example
Demand (D) 60,000 units per annumOrder cost (O)€100 per order raisedPrice per unit (P) €75Holding cost (H) 12% per annum
Therefore:2 x 60,000 x 100 = 12,000,000Divided by / 75 x 0.12 = 912,000,000 / 9 = 1,333,333Square root of 1,333,333 = 1,154

EOQ calculation example cont.• If we assume the supplier manufactures units in
batches of 100, each order would be 1,154 opposed to 1,200.
• As the total annual demand is 60,000 our resultant EOQ gives us a delivery schedule of 52 per year.
• Therefore it is important in a push system to have constant periodic reviews to ensure output matches demand.

17
Safety stock calculation• Quite often it is purported that safety stock is simply
calculated as:
Demand / 50% Lead time = X days reserve (safety stock)
• Where organisations have fairly stable supply lines and little variation, this simplistic over deployed method will result in too much inventory being carried.
• For organisations that have severe demand fluctuations this will entail constant stock outs.
This is all too simplified, does not allow for world class SCM practices such as constant review through S&OP practices.

Calculating the safety stockWhen calculating the safety stock we need to understand the demand and lead time deviation, on a constant review basis (once a year at budget time does not suffice!)
Therefore first stage of safety stock calculation equates to:
Demand variation + lead time variation = safety stock
The final step is ratifying the above against an expected service level
(The level of service to your customers – remember in value chains this has effects up/down stream and therefore ratifies the need to
understand the auspices of supply chain theoretical capacity)
Lets walks through the following example:

Calculating the demand deviation
Forecast demand Actual usage Deviation
1 50 60 10
2 76 80 4
3 80 70 -10
Demand in period 1 and 2 gives a deviation (10+4)/2=7
We do not include the deviation for period 3, as our forecast was higher than usage, therefore by including this figure would only increase the amount of safety stock on hand…….so we only look at the areas of historical or live data that can have a detrimental effect in satisfying the customer needs, thus avoiding stock outs.

Calculating the lead-time deviation
Expected lead time Actual lead time Deviation
1 10 days 17 days 7 days
2 8 days 13 days 5 days
3 8 days 6 days -2 days
Demand in period 1 and 2 gives a deviation (7+5)/2=6
We do not include the deviation for period 3, as with the quantity deviation, the lead time in period 3 was sooner than expected and therefore will not have a detrimental effect on satisfying customer demand.
International Business - 'Inventory management' - Liam Fassam
21
Total safety stock deviationIf our demand is 90 pieces per period and each period consists of
18 work days the daily demand is:
90/18 = 5 pieces per day demand
Given our lead time deviation is 6 days we need to multiply this by the daily demand:
6 * 5 = 30 pieces
To appreciate the full safety stock we also need to include the deviation in sales we ascertained early of 7 pieces over 2 periods:
30 + 7 = 37 pieces of safety stock for 3 periods (QTR1)
International Business - 'Inventory management' - Liam Fassam
22
Calculating the service level deviationDeviation multiple Customer service level
2 95%
3 97%
4 99%
The standard deviations used by organisations to achieve a certain service level are highlighted above
In our example if we chose to attain a 95% service level for meeting demand:
Our safety stock relating to standard deviation (demand/lead time) is 37 pieces.
Therefore:
37 * 2 = 74 pieces So our safety stock for 3 periods based on deviation in lead time,
Demand and expected service level is 74 pieces.

Lets work through the following two examples in
your own time and evaluate outcomes:

Example 1Forecast demand Actual usage Deviation
1 100 110 10
2 110 120 10
3 120 80 -40
Expected lead time Actual lead time Deviation
1 10 days 15 days 5 days
2 9 days 15 days 6 days
3 8 days 6 days -2 days
(10 + 10) / 2 = 10 we ignore period 3 as it does not have detrimental effect on order fulfilment
(5 + 6) / 2 = 5.5 days we ignore period 3 as it does not have detrimental effect on order fulfilment
(Lead time * daily demand) + forecast deviation = (5.5 * 5) + 10 = 37.5 pieces Service level deviation (95%) = 2 * 37.5 = 75 pieces (97% service level = 112.5 pieces)

Example 2Forecast demand Actual usage Deviation
1 1,000 2,000 1,000
2 2,200 2,400 200
3 2,500 2,600 100
Expected lead time Actual lead time Deviation
1 30 days 10 days -20 days
2 30 days 32 days 2 days
3 30 days 60 days 30 days
(1,000 + 200+100) / 3 = 433.33
(2 + 30) / 2 = 16 days we ignore period 1 as it does not have detrimental effect on order fulfilment
(Lead time * daily demand) + forecast deviation = (16 * 5) + 433.33 = 513.33 pieces Service level deviation (95%) = 2 * 513.33 = 1026.66 (97% service level = 1539.99
pieces)
