Staple Merchandise Planning
■ Buyer Determines: Basic Stock or Assortment Plan Level of Backup Inventory
■ System: Monitors Inventory levels Automatically reorders when inventory gets
below a specified level
13-6
Inventory Levels for Staple Merchandise
Cycle (base) stock: inventorythat goes up and down due tothe replenishment process
Backup (buffer, safety) stockInventory needed to avoid stockout
13-7
Inventory Levels for Staple Merchandise
Retailers try to reduce the stock level to keep Inventory Investment low by reordering and receivingmerchandise often but without increasedadministrative and transportation costs with frequent reorders

Factors Determining Backup Stock
■ Higher product availability (service level) retailer wishes to provide to customers
■ Greater the fluctuation in demand■ Longer lead time from the vendor■ More fluctuations in lead time ■ Lower vendor’s Fill rate (% of

Staple Merchandise Management Systems
Staple merchandise planning systems provide information needed to assist buyers by performing three functions:
■ Monitoring and measuring current sales for items at the SKU level
■ Forecasting future SKU demand with allowances made for seasonal variations and changes in trend
■ Developing ordering decision rules for optimum restocking

Order Point
the point at which inventory available should not go below or else we will run out of stock before the next order arrives
Order point = sales/day (lead time + review time) + buffer stock
■ Assume Lead time = 3 weeks, review time = 1 week, demand = 100 units per week
Order point = 100 (3+1) = 400
■ Assume Buffer stock = 50 units, then
Order point = 100 (3+1) + 50 = 450We will order something when order point gets below 450 units.
13-15
Calculating the Order Point
Avocado Bath Mat
In a situation in which the lead time is two weeks, the buyer reviews the SKU once a week, 18 units of backup stock are needed to maintain the product availability desired, and the sales rate for the next four weeks is 5.43 per day. Order Point?
Order Point = (Demand/Day) x (Lead Time +Review Time) + Backup Stock
132 units = [5.43 units x (14 + 7 days)] + 18 unitsSo Buyer Places Order When Inventory in Stock Drops Below 132 units
13-16
Order Quantity
When inventory reaches the order point, the buyer needs to order enough units so the cycle stock isn’t depleted and sales dip into backup stock before the next order arrives.
Order Quantity = Order Point – Quantity Available
13-17

Fashion Merchandise Management Systems
The system for managing fashion merchandise categories is typically called a Merchandise Budget Plan
13-19
Merchandise Budget Plan
■ Plan for the financial aspects of a merchandise category
■ Specifies how much money can be spent each month to achieve the sales, margin, inventory turnover, and GMROI objectives
■ Not a complete buying plan--doesn’t indicate what specific SKUs to buy or in what quantities
Royalty-Free/CORBIS
13-20
Steps in Developing a Merchandise Budget Plan
■ Set margin and inventory turn goals■ Seasonal sales forecast for category■ Breakdown sales forecast by month■ Plan reductions – markdowns, inventory loss■ Determine stock needed to support forecasted
sales■ Determine “open to buy” for each month

To have enough merchandise every month to support the monthly sales forecast, buyers need to consider factors that reduce the inventory level in addition to sales made to customersMarkdownsShrinkage Discounts to Employees
13-26
Shrinkage
Inventory loss caused by shoplifting, employee theft, merchandise being misplaced or damaged and poor bookkeeping.
Retailers measure shrinkage by taking the difference between
1. The inventory recorded value based on merchandise bought and received
2. The physical inventory actually in stores and distribution centers
Shrinkage % = $ shrinkage
$ net sales

5. BOM Stock to Sales Ratio 6 mo. data April May June July Aug Sept 4.0 3.6 4.4 4.4 4.0 3.6 4.0
Stock-to-Sales Ratio specifies the amount of inventory (in retail dollars) that should be on hand at the beginning of the month to support the sales forecast and maintain the inventory turnover objective for the category
Retails often use a related measure, Weeks of Inventory
13-29
Steps in Determining the Stock-to-Sales Ratio
Step 1: Calculate Sales-to-Stock Ratio
GMROI = Gross margin% x Sales-to-stock ratio
Sales-to-Stock Ratio = GMROI/Gross margin %
■ Assume that the buyer’s target GMROI for the category is 123%, and the buyer feels the category will produce a gross margin of 45%.
Sales-to-Stock Ratio = 123/45 = 2.73
13-30
Steps in Determining the Stock-to-Sales Ratio Continued
Step 2: Convert the Sales-to-Stock Ratio to Inventory Turnover
Inventory Turnover = Sales-to-stock ratio x (1 – GM%/100)
Inventory Turnover =2.73 x (1 – 45/100) = 1.50
13-31
Steps in Determining the Stock-to-Sales Ratio Continued
Step 3: Calculate Average Stock-to-Sales Ratio
Average Stock-to-Sales Ratio = 6 months/Inventory turnover
= 6/1.5 = 4
13-32
Steps in Determining the Stock-to-Sales Ratio Continued
Step 4: Calculate Monthly Stock-to-Sales Ratio
• Monthly stock-to-sales ratios vary in the opposite direction of sales
• To make this adjustment, the buyer considers the seasonal pattern, previous years’ stock-to-sales ratios

= $98,280

Additions to stock
= Sales (line 2) + Reductions (line 4) + EOM Stock (line 7) – BOM Stock (line 6)
Additions to stock (April)= $27,300 + $6,600 + $68,640 - $98,280 = $4,260
13-36
Evaluating the Merchandise Budget Plan
■ Inventory turnover GMROI, sales forecast are used for both planning and control
■ After the selling season, the actual performance is compared with the plan
Why did performance exceed or fall short of the plan? Was the deviation from the plan due to something
under the buyer’s control? Did the buyer react quickly to changes in demand by
either purchasing more or having a sale?

Allocating Merchandise to Stores
Allocating merchandise to stores involves three decisions:
■ how much merchandise to allocate to each store
■ what type of merchandise to allocate
■ when to allocate the merchandise to different stores
13-40
Inventory Allocation Based on Sales Volume and Stock-to-Sales Ratios
Smaller stores require a proportionally higher inventory allocation than larger stores because the depth of the assortment or the level of product availability is too small, customers will perceive it as being inferior.
13-41
Type of Merchandise Allocated to Stores
Retailers classify stores according to the characteristics of the stores’ trading area
The assortment offered in a ready-to-eat cereal aisle should matchthe demands of the demographics of shoppers in a local area
13-42
Type of Merchandise Allocated to Storescontinued
Even the sales of different apparel sizes can vary dramatically from store to store in the same chain.

Timing of Merchandise Allocation to Stores

Analyzing Merchandise Management Performance
Three types of analyses related to the monitoring and adjustment step are:
■ Sell through analysis
■ ABC analysis of assortments
■ Multiattribute analysis of vendors
13-45
Sell Through Analysis Evaluating Merchandise Plan
A sell-through analysis compares actual and planned sales to determine whether more merchandise is needed to satisfy demand or whether price reductions are required.
13-46
ABC Analysis
An ABC analysis identifies the performance of individual SKUs in the assortment plan.
Rank - orders merchandise by some performance measure determine which items:
should never be out of stock should be allowed to be out of stock occasionally should be deleted from the stock selection.
■ A items: 5% of SKUs, represent 70% of sales■ B items: 10% of SKUs, represent 20% of sales■ C items: 65% of SKUs, represent 10% of sales■ D items: 20% of SKUs, represent 10% of sales
13-47
ABC Analysis Rank Merchandise By Performance Measures
■ Contribution Margin■ Sales Dollars■ Sales in Units■ Gross Margin■ GMROI■ Use more than one criteria

Multiattribute Method for Evaluating Vendors
The multiattribute method for evaluating vendors uses a weighted average score for each vendor. The score is based on the importance of various issues and the vendor’s performance on those issues.

13-50
Evaluating Vendors
A buyer can evaluate vendors by using the following five steps:1. Develop a list of issues to consider in the evaluation
(column 1)2. Importance weights for each issue in column 1 are
determined by the buyer/planner in conjunction with the GMM (column 2)
3. Make judgments about each individual brand’s performance on each issue (the remaining columns)
4. Develop an overall score by multiplying the importance of each issue by the performance of each brand or its vendor
5. Determine a vendor’s overall rating, add the products for each brand for all issues
