Inventory Management (Henry C. Co) 4
Economies of Scale Over-investment
Ties up capacity and financial resources Inventory carrying cost, obsolescence, etc.
Insufficient/late availability causes Idle personnel or equipment when
components ran out Lost sales/customer-goodwill if items are
out-of-stock.

Inventory Management (Henry C. Co) 7
Approximately 16 % of total assets are invested in inventories (1986) In manufacturing firms, 25 to 35% of total assets
of typical are tied in inventories Materials’ average share in a manufacturer’s
cost of goods sold 40% in 1945 50% in 1960 > 60% Today
Spare parts (service parts) inventories of a typical manufacturer ~ $ 5 million - $ 15 million

Consequently … distribution and inventory (logistics) costs are quite substantial
Value of inventories in U.S. ~ $ 1 trillion (1993)

Inventory Management (Henry C. Co) 9
Basic definitions An inventory is an accumulation of a
commodity that will be used to satisfy some future demand.
Inventories of the following form: Raw material Components Semi-finished goods Spare parts Purchased products in retailing.

Hedge inventories : expect changes in the conditions (price, strike, supply, etc.)
Pipeline (or work-in-process) inventories: goods in transit, between levels of a supply chain, between work stations.

Inventory Management (Henry C. Co) 14
Service Operations No tangible items to purchase or
inventory, materials management is of minor concern
Operations that provide repair or refurbishment services carry inventory of replacement parts and supplies
Examples: Automobile service centers carry
automotive parts Hospitals carry inventory of food, linens,
medicine, and medical supplies

The Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) The total cost curve reaches its minimum
where the carrying and ordering costs are equal.
EOQ represents trade-off between fixed cost associated with production or procurement against inventory holding costs.D= Rate of demand, units/yearS = Fixed cost of procurement, $/orderv = Variable cost of procurement.h = Cost/unit time of holding each unit of
inventory, $/unit/yearQ= Quantity ordered, units

A grocery store pays $100 for each delivery of milk from the dairy. They sell 200 gallons per week. Each gallon costs the store $2, and they sell it for $3. They earn a 15% return on cash that is invested in milk. They have a large refrigerator that holds up to 2,000 gallons. It costs them $10,000 per year to maintain.
D ~ 200(52) = 10,400 gallons per year.h ~ 15%($2) = $.30 per gallon per yearS ~ $100

A bank has determined that it costs $30 to replenish the cash in one of its suburban ATMs. Customers take cash out of the ATM at a rate of $2000 per day (365 days per year). The bank earns a 10% return on cash that is not sitting in an ATM. Let us define $1000 to be a basic unit of cash.

When to Reorder? Reorder Point R – When the quantity
on hand of an item drops to this amount, the item is reordered
Safety Stock SS – Stock that is held in excess of expected demand due to variable demand rate and/or lead time.
Service Level - Probability that demand will not exceed supply during lead time.

Inventory Management (Henry C. Co) 32
Determining Reorder Point R The Average lead time demand is equal to
the average rate of demand (D) multiplied by the length of the lead time (L).
The amount of safety stock is influenced by the variability of demand, and our preference for avoiding inventory versus satisfying all of the demand.
If distribution of demand is stable over time, and the demand in one interval of time is statistically independent from that in another interval, then the standard deviation of lead time demand is proportional to the square root of the length (L) of the lead time:

Inventory Management (Henry C. Co) 33
Standard Deviation of Lead-time Demand If daily demand has mean 100, and standard
deviation 40, and the lead time L= 9 days: Then Lead Time Demand has mean = 900, and the standard deviation of lead time demand =120 (=SQRT[9] * 40).
If annual demand has mean 1040, and standard deviation 600, and the lead time L = 2 weeks: Then Lead Time Demand has mean = 40 (= 1040*(2/52) and the standard deviation of lead time demand = 117.67 (=SQRT[2/52]*600.
![Page 34: Inventory Management Henry C. Co Technology and Operations Management, California Polytechnic and State University](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5516ea9355034603568b48df/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Inventory Management (Henry C. Co) 34
If weekly demand has mean 20, and standard deviation 83.2, and the lead time L = 2 weeks: Then Lead Time Demand has mean = 40 and the standard deviation of lead time demand = 117.67. (Note that this example is identical to the previous one, but the demand was specified in terms of weekly demand instead of annual.)

A Retail Stocking Problem Daily demand (7 days/wk) is normally
distributed with mean = 60, standard deviation = 30.
Orders can be placed at any time, and will be filled in exactly 6 days.
It costs $10 to place and order, and each unit costs $5.
Annual holding costs are 10% of the value of the item.
We want to determine an efficient inventory policy that allows us to satisfy 99% of demand from inventory.

First, we need to determine how much to order at a time:
Thus, our average cycle stock is 936/2 =468. In order to determine the re-order point, we
need to know the length of the lead time (6 days), and the standard deviation of lead time demand.

Inventory Management (Henry C. Co) 40
Suppose a machine produces a product at a production rate = p; e.g., p = 200 units/day.
Suppose the demand rate of this product is d; e.g., d = 80 units/day.
Since p > d, inventory will increase at (p-d) or (200-80 = 120) units/day.
Suppose the current inventory is 0. In 10 days, the inventory level would be 10
days * 120 unit/day = 1,200 units. In 20 days, the inventory level would be 20
days * 60 unit/day = 2,400 units. etc.
![Page 41: Inventory Management Henry C. Co Technology and Operations Management, California Polytechnic and State University](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5516ea9355034603568b48df/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Inventory Management (Henry C. Co) 41
Suppose the machine produces a batch of this product, then stop, then resumes production at some later time when the inventory of this item is low. This is call batch production.
Batch production is very common in industry. When a machine is used to produce two or more
products, one product at a time. One decision the production manager has to make is
when to start producing each product, and when to stop.
The run time is the amount of time the machine is producing a batch. For example, producing at 200 units/day, if we want to
produce 2,000 units per batch, the run time is 2,000/200 = 10 days. Here, batch size Q = 2,000 units, the run time t = 10 days.
![Page 42: Inventory Management Henry C. Co Technology and Operations Management, California Polytechnic and State University](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5516ea9355034603568b48df/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Inventory Management (Henry C. Co) 42
Maximum Inventory Level If the current inventory level is 0, what is the
inventory at the end of the run time? Since inventory will be rising at (200- 80 =120)
units/day, in 10 days, the inventory level will be 10 days * 120 unit/day = 1,200 units.
The inventory at the end of the run time is the maximum inventory. It is equal to (p-d)*t = (200 units/day - 80 units/day)*10 days = 1,200 units.
Why is it that the machine produced 2,000 units in 10 days, and the maximum inventory level is only 1,200? Answer: We consumed d*t = 80 units/day * 10 days =
800 units. After completing a batch, how long will it take to
deplete the inventory? Answer: It will take (p-d)*t/d = 1,200/80 = 15 days to
deplete the inventory. This is the off-time.
![Page 43: Inventory Management Henry C. Co Technology and Operations Management, California Polytechnic and State University](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5516ea9355034603568b48df/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Inventory Management (Henry C. Co) 43
Number of Runs Per Year If the annual demand of this product is
D = 24,000 units, how many runs of this item do we produce each year? Answer: Since we are producing Q = 2,000
units per batch, there will be D/Q = 24,000/2,000 = 12 batches per year.
In other words, there are D/Q = 12 cycles per year. In each cycle, there is a period of time the machine is producing the product (the run time), and a period to allow the inventory to deplete (the off time).
![Page 44: Inventory Management Henry C. Co Technology and Operations Management, California Polytechnic and State University](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5516ea9355034603568b48df/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Inventory Management (Henry C. Co) 44
Average Inventory What is the average inventory level?
During the run time, the inventory level rises from 0 to the maximum level of (p-d)*t = 1,200 units (see page 4).
During the off time, the inventory level drops from a maximum of (p-d)*t units to 0.
The average inventory level therefore = [0 + (p-d)*t ]/2 = (0 + 1,200)/2 = 600 units.
Since p*t = Q, then t = Q/p. We can rewrite the expression for the average inventory as (p-d)*t/2 = (p-d)*(Q/p)/2 = (1-d/p)Q/2.
![Page 45: Inventory Management Henry C. Co Technology and Operations Management, California Polytechnic and State University](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5516ea9355034603568b48df/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Inventory Management (Henry C. Co) 45
Tradeoff Batch size = production rate * run time. Large batch
size means long run time, and high average inventory.
On the contrary, if the batch size is small, the run time is short, and we need to run many batches per year.
What is the average inventory if the batch size equals the annual demand D = 24,000 units? How many batches do we have to run per year? Answer: The average inventory = (1-d/p)Q/2 = (1-
80/200) (24,000)/2 = 7,200 units. We need to run one batch per year.
What is the average inventory if the batch size equals the weekly demand of 480 units (assuming 50 weeks/year)? How many batches do we have to run per year? Answer: 144 units; Run 50 batches per year.

Optimal Tradeoff Suppose the cost to carry one unit of inventory for
one year is H. Since the average inventory level is (1-d/p)Q/2, the annual inventory-carrying cost is H*(1-d/p) Q/2.
Suppose the cost to set-up the machine to produce a batch is S. Since we need to run D/Q batches per year (see page 5), the annual set-up cost is S*D/Q.
Adding the two costs, we have H*(1-d/p) Q/2 + S*D/Q. Using calculus, the optimal batch size is

Illustration Annual demand D = 24,000 units. Production rate p = 200 units/day. Demand rate d = 80 units/day (25
days/month). Set-up cost S = $100. Inventory-carrying cost H =
$2/unit/year.
The optimal batch size =2,000 units.

Inventory Management (Henry C. Co) 48
The machine will produce D/Q = 12 batches a year.
Run time t = Q/p = 2,000/200 = 10 days. Maximum inventory = (p-d)*t = (100-40)*20
= 1,200 units. Off time = 1,200 units/ 80 units/day = 15
days. In other words, the machine will run this
product for 10 days, stop (to do something else) for 15 days, before running this item again.

Framework for Inventory Management
Large number of items Large manufacturer ~ 500,000 items Retailer ~ 100,000
Items show different characteristics Demand can occur in many ways:
Unit by unit, in cases, by the dozen, etc.

Inventory Management (Henry C. Co) 58
Decision making in production and inventory management involves dealing with large number of items, with very diverse characteristics and with external factors.
We want to resolve: How often the inventory status (of an item)
should be determined ? When a replenishment order should be
placed ? How large the replenishment order should
be ?
