Types of Inventory
Inventory Management
Symptoms of Poor Inventory Management[4]
1. An increase in backorders
2. More cancelled customer orders
3. Insufficient storage space
4. Unnecessary obsolete products
Inventory Management
Financial Impact of Inventory [3]1. Inventory is often a company’s largest asset
2. Inventories can account for 20% of total assets
3. Inventory costs may run up to 40- 50% of the value of a product and ~ 40% of total integrated logistics costs
Inventory Management
Definitions
• 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
Inventory Management
How to Measure Inventory
• The Dilemma: closely monitor and control inventories to keep them as low as possible while providing acceptable customer service.
• Average Aggregate Inventory Value:
how much of the company’s total assets are invested in inventory?
• Ford: 6.825 billion
• Sears: 4.039 billion
Formulas for Measuring Supply-Chain Performance
• One of the most commonly used measures in all of operations management is “Inventory Turnover”
• In situations where distribution inventory is dominant, “Weeks of Supply” is preferred and measures how many weeks’ worth of inventory is in the system at a particular time

Inventory Measures - Examples
• Weeks of Supply– Ford: 3.51 weeks– Sears: 9.2 weeks
• Inventory Turnover (Turns)– Ford: 14.8 turns– Sears: 5.7 turns– GM: 8 turns– Toyota: 35 turns
Example of Measuring SC Performance
Suppose a company’s new annual report claims their costs of goods sold for the year is $160 million and their total average inventory (production materials + work-in-process) is worth $35 million. This company normally has an inventory turn ratio of 10. What is this year’s Inventory Turnover ratio? What does it mean?

Example of Measuring Supply-Chain Performance (Continued)
= $160/$35 = 4.57
Since the company’s normal inventory turnover ration is 10, a drop to 4.57 means that the inventory is not turning over as quickly as it had in the past. Without knowing the industry average of turns for this company it is not possible to comment on how they are competitively doing in the industry, but they now have more inventory relative to their cost of goods sold than before.

Inventory Costs [7]1. Cost of placing an order2. Price discount costs for large orders or Extra costs for
small orders3. Stock-out costs4. Working capital costs (funding for the lag between
paying our suppliers and receiving payment from our customers)
5. Storage costs6. Obsolescence costs7. Production inefficient costs [hidden costs not realized
JIT]
Inventory Management
1. Capital or opportunity cost2. Storage space cost3. Inventory service cost4. Inventory risk cost5. Insurance6. Storage and handling7. Depreciation8. Deterioration9. Taxes10. Interest
Inventory carrying cost varies between 10 – 20 %of the product cost.

OBJECTIVES: To determine the best ordering policy, i.e.
1. To decide how much, and
2. when to order
Economic Order Quantity [EOQ] model
•One of the oldest and most commonly used in inventory control
•Based on a number of assumptions
HOW MUCH?
Inventory Management
EOQ Assumptions
1. Continuous and known demand rate
2. Lead time/replenishment cycle is known and constant
3. Price to purchase is independent of the amount needed
4. Transportation costs remain constant
5. No stock outs (or shortages) are permitted
6. No inventory is in transit
7. The order quantity is received all at once

QUESTIONThe annual demand for a product is 8,000 units. The ordering cost is € 30 per order. The cost of the item is € 10 and the carrying cost has been calculated at € 3 to carry out one item in stock for one year. Calculate:a.What is the EOQ?b.The numbers of orders to be placed annually, andc.The overall costs.
Example: Basic EOQ
ANSWER
D = 8,000 units
CO = € 30
CC = € 3
Q*CoDCc

2 (8,000) (30)3
400 units
Number of orders per year =D
Q* 8,000
40020 orders
Total Costs = Carrying Cost + Ordering Cost Holding Costs = Average quantity in stock x Cost of holding item for 1 year
= 400/2 x 3 = € 600 Ordering Costs = Cost of ordering x Number of orders
= 30 x 20 = € 600 therefore Total Costs = € 600 + € 600 = € 1,200.
Example: Basic EOQ
Zartex Co. produces fertilizer to sell to wholesalers. One raw material – calcium nitrate – is purchased from a nearby supplier at $22.50 per ton. Zartex estimates it will need 5,750,000 tons of calcium nitrate next year.The annual carrying cost for this material is 40% of the acquisition cost, and the ordering cost is $595. a) What is the most economical order quantity?b) How many orders will be placed per year?c) How much time will elapse between orders?
Example: Basic EOQ
• Economical Order Quantity (EOQ)
D = 5,750,000 tons/year
Cc = .40(22.50) = $9.00/ton/year
Co = $595/order
= 27,573.135 tons per order
Example: Basic EOQ
EOQ = 2(5,750,000)(595)/9.00
• Total Annual Stocking Cost (TSC)
TSC = (27,573.135/2)(9.00)
+ (5,750,000/27,573.135)(595)
= 124,079.11 + 124,079.11
= $248,158.22 Note: Total Carrying CostNote: Total Carrying Costequals Total Ordering Costequals Total Ordering Cost
Example: Basic EOQ
• Number of Orders Per Year= D/Q = 5,750,000/27,573.135 = 208.5 orders/year
• Time Between Orders= Q/D= 1/208.5= .004796 years/order= .004796(365 days/year) = 1.75
