Understanding the Demand Driver
Independent Demand
The demand for an item that is unrelated to the demand for other items. Demand for finished goods, parts required for destructive testing, and service parts requirements are examples of independent demand
Dependent Demand
Demand that is directly related to or derived from the bill of material structure for other items or end products. Such demands are therefore calculated and need not and should not be forecast
APICS Dictionary, 13th edition
Chapter8dp&c8-6
Characteristics of Dependent Demand
• Demand for these items is independent of company inventory decisions.
• Demand for these items is subject to a level of random variation.
• These items are usually planned and managed without reference to other items.
• Planning for these items usually involves the use of forecasting techniques designed to foretell future demand based on past historical usage.
• These items are best planned with some form of safety or reserve stock to counterbalance variation in forecasting.
• The critical question for inventory availability is one of quantity rather than timing.
Chapter8dp&c8-7
Characteristics of Dependent Demand
• Dependent demand items are always planned and managed in relation to other items as detailed in the bills of material (BOMs) in which they are specified
• Replenishment quantities for production inventories can be precisely determined by establishing the demand on “parent” level assemblies and then using the BOM structure to calculate exactly the “children” item requirements and due dates
• Future demand for production inventories should not be forecasted
• Management inventory planning decisions directly impact the demand for these items
• Dependent demand items rarely use safety or reserve stocks• The critical question for inventory availability is one of timing
rather than quantity

Concept of Inventory Replenishment
The theory behind inventory replenishment
management is that for each item, an optimal
stocking and ordering quantity can be determined
either statistically or through some form of
experience, or even intuition. The object is to
ensure that the optimum stocking level for each
item in the inventory is maintained at the targeted
service level without creating excess stock.

Replenishment Review Interval
Continuous Review System
The inventory level on-hand and on-order for this system is checked whenever a change in inventory level occurs and when the reorder point is reached a restocking order is released
Periodic Review System
In this model an order is placed every “n” time periods. The order quantity is variable and essentially replaces the items consumed during the current time period

Chapter8dp&c8-20
Reorder Point - Exercise
Objective: Calculate a reorder point
Data: Average demand per week is 100 units, the replenishment lead time is 2 weeks, and the safety stock is 50 units
Formula: ROP = D x LT + SS where: ROP = Reorder pointD = DemandLT = Lead timeSS = Safety stock
Solution: 100 x 2 + 50 = 250 units
Chapter8dp&c8-21
Reorder Point Using Trend
Objective: Calculate a reorder point using trend
Data: • Past week’s demand = 205 units• The a factor = 0.1• Prior period’s smoothed average = 174.46• Prior period’s trend = 0.58• Lead time = 2 weeks
Solution: 1. New smoothed average demand = a(Dt) + (1 – a) (Dt-1) =
0.1 x 205 + .9 x 174.46 = 177.512. The difference is Dt1 – Dt = 177.51 – 174.46 = 3.053. The trend is Trendt-1(1 – a) + a x Differencet = 0.82

Cyclical Order Point Using Trend
Objective: Calculate a cyclical reorder point using trend
Data: • 13 months of past data• The a factor = 0.1• The (1-a) / a factor = 9.0• Current month’s demand = 145 units• Current base series = 119.7 (calculated by using the
surrounding quarter demand from the previous year.)
Solution: 1. New demand ratio = current demand / current base series =
145 / 119.7 = 1.211.2. New average ratio = (1-a) x Previous average ratio + ( a x
Current demand ratio) = (.9 x 1.098) + (.1 x 112.11) = 1.109.
Chapter8dp&c8-24
Cyclical Order Point Using Trend (cont.)
Solution: 3. The difference is Current demand ratio – Current average
ratio = 1.211 – 1.109 = .011.4. New trend is (1-a) x Previous trend + (a x Current difference)
= (.9 x .0034) + (.1 x .011) = .0042.5. New expected ratio is Current period average ratio + (1-a) / a
+ Current trend = 1.109 + 9 + .0042 = 1.148.6. New expected demand is Current expected ratio x current
base series = 1.148 x 119.7 = 137.36

Chapter8dp&c8-35
Min/Max Order System
Definition:Called the min/max system because the inventory position should always be a quantity located between the minimum and maximum stocking values
Minimum quantity calculation: Use the standard reorder point equation
Maximum quantity calculation: Function of the average daily demand, lad time, and the standard deviation
Formula: (Demand x lead time) + (customer service level x standard deviation x square root of the lead time)
Chapter8dp&c8-36
Min/Max Order System – Example
Objective: Calculate min/max order quantity
Data: • Average daily demand (D) = 50 units• Lead time (LT) = 4 days• Standard deviation of demand (sD) = 20 units• Customer service level (CSL) = 98%• Min quantity = 125 units
Solution:
Max = (D x LT) + (CSL x xξ𝐿𝑇) = (50 x 4) + (2.05 x 20 x ξ4) =
200 + 82 = 282
Chapter8dp&c8-37
Periodic Review – Overview
Definition:Items are reviewed periodically and replenishment orders are launched at each review. The order quantity contains sufficient stock to bring the inventory position up to a target inventory level
Uses:
1. Used when it is difficult to record withdrawals and additions of stock on a continuous basis
2. Used when items are ordered in families
3. Used for items with a limited shelf life
4. Significant economies can be gained by ordering in bulk

EOQ Assumptions
• The cost of the product does not depend on the replenishment quantity
• There are no minimum or maximum restrictions on the replenishment quantity
• Items are considered totally independent of each other
• Lead time is zero
• No shortages are permitted and the entire order quantity is delivered at the same time
• The minimum purchase quantity from the supplier is not three or four times the calculated QOQ
• Purchase order preparation and carrying costs are known and constant
• Very high or very low item usage needs to be reviewed in relation to unit costs before applying the EOQ technique

Replenishment by Item Class – Steps
1. Divide the inventory into classes based on volume usage, dollar value, or other parameters.
2. Link items to classes.
3. Assign an inventory turnover target for each class.
4. Determine the level below which only dead and obsolete products reside. Eliminate this class from the procedure.
5. Establish the replenishment quantity for each class by dividing the annual usage of each item by the turnover value.
6. Recalculate the inventory classification scheme for all items at least once a month, depending on the expected inventory turnover.

Key Points of a Lean-Pull System
Produce products only to customer order
Create a level schedule so that production may proceed according to a desired flow rate
Schedule a mix of products in varying lot sizes so that the factory or the supplier produces and delivers inventory close to the same mix of products that will be sold that day
Link scheduling management to pull production through the use of visual demand signals
Maximize process flow-through by maximizing the flexibility of people and machinery
