Wall Street Speaks(compiled by Teradata, a division of NCR)

“Shares of Intel Corp. fell to an 11-month low on Wednesday, leading a decline in semiconductor-industry stocks a day after the world’s largest chipmaker warned that its inventories had risen sharply”, this despite 96% growth in quarterly profit. –Reuters, July 14, 2004

“Cisco Systems Inc. on Tuesday reported that quarterly profit surges 41%, but its shares fell sharply in after-hours trade on a rise in inventories.” - Reuters, August 10, 2004

Wall Street Speaks(compiled by Teradata, a division of NCR)

“The day Nike announced the breakdown in its chain, the company’s stock dropped 20%, an amount so staggering that it makes the $100 million loss (in sales) seem like pocket change.” – Computer World, November 10, 2003

“General Motors was down 3.1%, or $1.37, at $42.75, after analysts with Goldman Sachs and Lehman Brothers downgraded their ratings of the stock, amid worries of inventory buildup.” –AP, July 30, 2004

“Blind execution [of a production plan] in the face of variation can tie up hundreds of millions in working capital and prevent you from supporting customer demand.” -Teradata

Types of Inventory Inventory comes in many shapes and

sizes such as Raw materials – purchased items or

extracted materials transformed into components or products

Components – parts or subassemblies used in final product

Work-in-process – items in process throughout the plant

Finished goods – products sold to customers Distribution inventory – finished goods in

the distribution system

Uses of Inventory Anticipation or seasonal inventory Fluctuation Inventory or Safety stock: buffer

demand fluctuations Lot-size or cycle stock: take advantage of

quantity discounts or purchasing efficiencies Transportation or Pipeline inventory Speculative or hedge inventory protects

against some future event, e.g. labor strike Maintenance, repair, and operating (MRO)

Most Important Inventory Costs

Holding Costs

Denoted H; includes the variable expenses incurred by the plant related to the volume of inventory held e.g. 15-25%

Ordering Cost

Denoted S; fixed, constant dollar amount incurred for each order placed

Page 12: © Wiley 2010 Chapter 12 – Independent Demand Inventory Management Operations Management by R. Dan Reid & Nada R. Sanders 4 th Edition © Wiley 2010 PowerPoint

Periodic (P) Review Systems Orders are placed at specified, fixed-time

intervals (e.g. every Friday), for a order size (q) to bring on-hand inventory (OH) up to the target inventory (TI), similar to the min-max system.

Advantages are: No need for a system to continuously monitor item Items ordered from the same supplier can be reviewed

on the same day saving purchase order costs Disadvantages:

Replenishment quantities (q) vary Order quantities may not quality for quantity discounts On the average, inventory levels will be higher than Q

systems-more stockroom space needed

Managing Periodic (P) Review Systems

Prior to implementation, management must decide Replenishment period, i.e.,

time between orders Can use convenience or EOQ approximation

calculation to determine RP Cycle service level, i.e., the

probability of satisfying customer demand

Safety Stock SS = zσRP+L

where z denotes the z-score needed for the desired service level, and

is the standard deviation of demand during the combined Review Period and Lead Time. Here we need to be given σt the standard deviation of demand per unit time (day or week).P-Models always include Safety Stock!

Periodic Review (P) Model, Example 1: Your firm’s demand is normally distributed with mean 48/week and standard deviation 8. Lead time is 2 weeks, and the desired cycle service level is 94%. Initially, your review period is 1 week (every Friday you take inventory). Find the safety stock and the Target Inventory Level. [Ch. 12 #27.]

Periodic Review (P) Model, Example 1, continued: [Ch. 12 #27.]

We found Safety Stock SS = (1.55)(13.86)

= 21.48 -> 22

Next find the Target Inventory level (TI):

TI = d(RP + L) + SS

= (48)(1+2) + 22

= 166 units

Follow-up: if you have 100 units on hand (OH =100),

Order quantity q = TI – OH = 66

Economic Order Quantity EOQ Assumptions:

Demand is known & constant - no safety stock is required

Lead time is known & constant

No quantity discounts are available

Ordering (or setup) costs are constant

All demand is satisfied (no shortages)

The order quantity arrives in a single shipment

Reorder when the stock level drops to the amount that will be used during the lead time; thus

R = dL

where d is the daily demand and L is the lead time in days.

Safety Stock for probabilistic Q-Model

If demand or lead time is uncertain, safety stock can be added to improve order-cycle service levels

Revised Reorder Point

R = dL +SS Here safety stock SS

=zσdL, where z is the number of standard deviations for the desired

service level, and σdL is standard deviation of the demand during lead time

Computing Safety Stock

Order-cycle service level is the probability that demand during lead time will not exceed on-hand inventory

A 95% service level means the stockout risk is 5%, and has a z-score Z95=1.645

ABC Inventory Classification ABC classification is a method for determining level

of control and frequency of review of inventory items A Pareto analysis can be done to segment items into

value categories depending on annual dollar volume A Items – typically 20% of the items accounting for

80% of the inventory value-use Q system B Items – typically an additional 30% of the items

accounting for 15% of the inventory value-use Q or P C Items – Typically the remaining 50% of the items

accounting for only 5% of the inventory value-use P

Graphical solution For Example 12.15 showing the ABC classification of materials

The A items (106 and 110) account for 60.5% of the value and 13.3% of the items The B items (115,105,111,and 104) account for 25% of the value and 26.7% of the

items The C items make up the last 14.5% of the value and 60% of the items How might you control each item classification? Different ordering rules for each?

Determining Order Quantities

Lot-for-lot Order exactly what is needed

Fixed-order quantity

Specifies the number of units to order whenever an order is placed

Min-max system

Places a replenishment order when the on-hand inventory falls below the predetermined minimum level.

Order n periods

Order quantity is determined by total demand for the item for the next n periods

Justifying Smaller Order Quantities

JIT or “Lean Systems” would recommend reducing order quantities to the lowest practical levels

Benefits from reducing Q’s: Improved customer responsiveness (inventory = Lead

time) Reduced Cycle Inventory Reduced raw materials and purchased components

Justifying smaller EOQ’s:

Reduce Q’s by reducing setup time (S). Consider S as a variable. “Setup reduction” is a well documented, structured approach to reducing S.

Inventory Record Accuracy Inaccurate inventory records can

cause: Lost sales Disrupted operations Poor customer service Lower productivity Planning errors and expediting

Page 38: © Wiley 2010 Chapter 12 – Independent Demand Inventory Management Operations Management by R. Dan Reid & Nada R. Sanders 4 th Edition © Wiley 2010 PowerPoint

Inventory Record Accuracy

Two methods are available for checking record accuracy

Periodic counting - physical inventory is taken periodically, usually annually

Cycle counting-daily counting of prespecified items provides the following advantages:

Timely detection and correction of inaccurate records Elimination of lost production time due to unexpected

stock outs Structured approach using employees trained in cycle

counting

Ultimate Objective of Inventory Management

Provide desired customer service level Customer service is the ability to satisfy

customer requirements Percentage of orders shipped on schedule Percentage of line items shipped on

schedule Percentage of dollar volume shipped on

schedule Idle time due to material and component

shortages

Page 40: © Wiley 2010 Chapter 12 – Independent Demand Inventory Management Operations Management by R. Dan Reid & Nada R. Sanders 4 th Edition © Wiley 2010 PowerPoint

© Wiley 2010

Customer Service Level Examples

Percentage of Orders Shipped on Schedule Good measure if orders have similar value. Does not capture value. If one company represents 50% of your business but only 5% of your

orders, 95% on schedule could represent only 50% of value Percentage of Line Items Shipped on Schedule

Recognizes that not all orders are equal, but does not capture $ value of orders. More expensive to measure. Ok for finished goods. A 90% service level might mean shipping 225 items out of the total

250 line items totaled from 20 orders scheduled Percentage Of Dollar Volume Shipped on Schedule

Recognizes the differences in orders in terms of both line items and $ value

Chapter 12 Highlights Raw materials, purchased components,

work-in-process, finished goods, distribution inventory and maintenance, repair and operating supplies are all types of inventory. Inventories have several uses: anticipation inventory is built before it is needed; fluctuation stock provides a cushion; cycle stock is a result of the company’s ordering quantity; transportation inventory includes items in transit; speculative inventory is a buildup to protect against some future event and MRO inventory supports daily operations

Page 43: © Wiley 2010 Chapter 12 – Independent Demand Inventory Management Operations Management by R. Dan Reid & Nada R. Sanders 4 th Edition © Wiley 2010 PowerPoint

© Wiley 2010

Chapter 12 Highlights The objectives of inventory management are to

provide the desired level of customer service, to allow cost-efficient operations, and to minimize inventory investment. Customer service can be measured in several ways, including as a percentage of orders shipped on schedule, a percentage of line items shipped on schedule, a percentage of dollar volume shipped on schedule, or idle time due to material and component shortages. Cost-efficient operations are achieved by using inventory as buffer stocks allowing a stable year-round workforce, and spreading the setup cost over a larger number of Inventory performance is measured by turns/supply.

Inventory costs include item cost, holding cost, ordering cost, and shortage cost.

Page 44: © Wiley 2010 Chapter 12 – Independent Demand Inventory Management Operations Management by R. Dan Reid & Nada R. Sanders 4 th Edition © Wiley 2010 PowerPoint

© Wiley 2010

Chapter 12 Highlights (continued)

Inventory investment is measured in inventory turnover and/or level of supply. Inventory performance is calculated as inventory turnover or weeks, days, or hours of supply.

Relevant inventory costs include items costs, holding costs, and shortage costs. Holding costs include capital costs, storage costs, and risk costs. Ordering costs are fixed costs for placing an order or performing a setup. Shortage costs included costs related to additional paperwork, additional shipping expense, and the intangible cost of lost customer goodwill.

Page 45: © Wiley 2010 Chapter 12 – Independent Demand Inventory Management Operations Management by R. Dan Reid & Nada R. Sanders 4 th Edition © Wiley 2010 PowerPoint

© Wiley 2010

Chapter 12 Highlights (continued)

Lot-for-lot, fixed-order quantity, min-max systems, order n periods, periodic review systems, EOQ models, quantity discount models, and single-period models can be used to determine order quantities.

Ordering decisions can be improved by analyzing total costs of an inventory policy. Total costs include ordering cost, holding cost, and material cost

Page 46: © Wiley 2010 Chapter 12 – Independent Demand Inventory Management Operations Management by R. Dan Reid & Nada R. Sanders 4 th Edition © Wiley 2010 PowerPoint

© Wiley 2010

Chapter 12 Highlights (continued)

Practical considerations can cause a company to not use the optimal order quantity, that is, minimum order requirements

Smaller lot sizes give a company flexibility and shorter response times. The key to reducing order quantities is to reduce ordering or setup costs.

Calculating the appropriate safety stock policy enables companies to satisfy their customer service objective at minimum costs. The desired customer service level determines the appropriate z value.

Page 47: © Wiley 2010 Chapter 12 – Independent Demand Inventory Management Operations Management by R. Dan Reid & Nada R. Sanders 4 th Edition © Wiley 2010 PowerPoint

© Wiley 2010

Chapter 12 Highlights (continued)

Inventory decisions about perishable products can be made using the single-period inventory model. The expected payoff is calculated to assist the quantity decision

The ABC classification system allows a company to assign the appropriate level of control and frequency of review of an item based on its annual dollar volume

Cycle counting is a method for maintaining accurate inventory records. Determining what and when to count are the major decisions

© Wiley 2010

Chapter 12 Highlights (continued)

Order Q’s can be determined by using L4L, fixed order Q’s, min-max, order n periods, quantity discounts, and single period systems.

Ordering decisions can be improved by analyzing TC Smaller lot sizes increase flexibility and reduce response

time. Safety stock can be added to reorder point calculations

to meet desired service level z value. Inventory decisions about perishable products can be

made by using the single-period inventory model. ABC analysis can be used to assign the appropriate level

of control and review frequency based on the annual dollar volume of each item.

Cycle counting of pre-specified items is an accepted method for maintaining inventory records
