Inventory Management• Stock may be classified into:
–Raw materials–Work-in-progress–Finished goods–Resources, Labor, Cash The classification depends on the nature of the firm.
![Page 4: MNG221- Management Science – Inventory Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649d975503460f94a8072e/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Inventory Management• The main purpose of inventory is simply
to meet customer demand.• It often represents a significant cost to a
business firm, (including insurance, obsolescence, depreciation, interest, opportunity costs, storage costs, etc.)
• Therefore inventory related costs can be controlled, through the management of inventory levels.

Elements of Inventory Management
• Inventory is defined as a stock of items kept on hand by an organization to use to meet customer demand.
The Role of Inventory The main reasons for holding inventory are:• To satisfy demand immediately• To meet seasonal or cyclical demand
![Page 7: MNG221- Management Science – Inventory Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649d975503460f94a8072e/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Elements of Inventory Management
The Role of Inventory• To allow for unimpeded production and
provide independence between operations.
• To take advantage of bulk purchasing price discounts.
• To absorb seasonal fluctuations.• A necessary part of the production
process.
![Page 8: MNG221- Management Science – Inventory Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649d975503460f94a8072e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Elements of Inventory Management
The Role of Inventory (continued)• Inventory may also accumulate because
of poor control methods, obsolesce and suboptimal decisions.
![Page 9: MNG221- Management Science – Inventory Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649d975503460f94a8072e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Elements of Inventory Management
Demand• A crucial component and the basic
starting point for the management of inventory is customer demand, because it exists for the purpose of meeting the demand of customers.
• Customers can be Internal (machine operator) or External (Individual purchasing goods from stores)
![Page 10: MNG221- Management Science – Inventory Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649d975503460f94a8072e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Elements of Inventory Management
Demand (Continued)• An essential determinant of effective
inventory management is an accurate forecast of demand.
• The demand for items in inventory is classified as dependent or independent–Dependent Demand items are used internally
to produce a final product– Independent Demand items are final products
demanded by an external customer.
![Page 11: MNG221- Management Science – Inventory Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649d975503460f94a8072e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Elements of Inventory Management
Inventory Costs• There are three basic costs associated
with inventory:–Carrying Costs - are the costs of
holding items in storage.–Ordering Costs - are the costs
associated with replenishing the stock of inventory being held.
![Page 12: MNG221- Management Science – Inventory Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649d975503460f94a8072e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Elements of Inventory Management
Inventory Costs–Shortage costs - also referred to as
stockout costs, occur when customer demand cannot be met because of insufficient inventory on hand.
![Page 13: MNG221- Management Science – Inventory Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649d975503460f94a8072e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Elements of Inventory Management
Inventory Costs• The objective of inventory
management is to employ an inventory control system that will indicate how much should be ordered and when orders should take place to minimize the sum of the above three inventory costs
![Page 14: MNG221- Management Science – Inventory Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649d975503460f94a8072e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Inventory Control Systems
• An Inventory System is a structure for controlling the level of inventory by determining how much to order (the level of replenishment) and when to order.
• There are two basic types of inventory systems: a continuous (or fixed order quantity) system and a periodic (or fixed time period) system.
![Page 16: MNG221- Management Science – Inventory Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649d975503460f94a8072e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Inventory Control Systems
• The primary difference in the two systems is that in a:–Continuous system - an order for the
same amount is placed whenever the inventory decreases to a certain level.
–Periodic system - order is placed for a variable after an established passage of time.
![Page 17: MNG221- Management Science – Inventory Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649d975503460f94a8072e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Inventory Control Systems
Continuous Inventory System• In a continuous inventory system,
(alternatively referred to as a perpetual system or a fixed order quantity system) a constant amount is ordered when inventory declines to a predetermined level, referred to as the reorder point.
• This fixed order quantity is called the economic order quantity
![Page 18: MNG221- Management Science – Inventory Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649d975503460f94a8072e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Inventory Control Systems
Continuous Inventory System• The inventory level is closely and
continuously monitored so that management always knows the inventory status.
• However, the cost of maintaining a continual record of the amount of inventory on hand can also be a disadvantage of this type of system.
![Page 19: MNG221- Management Science – Inventory Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649d975503460f94a8072e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Inventory Control Systems
Periodic Inventory System• In a periodic inventory system, (also
referred to as a fixed time period system or periodic review system) an order is placed for a variable amount after a fixed passage of time.
![Page 20: MNG221- Management Science – Inventory Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649d975503460f94a8072e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Inventory Control Systems
Periodic Inventory System• The inventory level is not monitored
at all during the time interval between orders.
• It has the advantage of requiring little or no record keeping
• It has the disadvantage of less direct control
![Page 21: MNG221- Management Science – Inventory Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649d975503460f94a8072e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Economic Order Quantity Models
• The most widely used and traditional means for determining how much to order in a continuous system is the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) model, also referred to as the Economic Lot Size Model.
• The function of the EOQ model is to determine the optimal order size that minimizes total inventory costs.
![Page 23: MNG221- Management Science – Inventory Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649d975503460f94a8072e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Economic Order Quantity Models
The Basic EOQ Model• It is essentially a single formula for
determining the optimal order size that minimizes the sum of carrying costs and ordering costs.
![Page 24: MNG221- Management Science – Inventory Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649d975503460f94a8072e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Economic Order Quantity Models
The Basic EOQ ModelAssumptions• Demand is known with certainty and is
relatively constant over time.• No shortages are allowed.• Lead time for the receipt of orders is
constant.• The order quantity is received all at once.
![Page 25: MNG221- Management Science – Inventory Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649d975503460f94a8072e/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Economic Order Quantity Models
The Basic EOQ Model• Q is the point at which ordering and
carrying costs react inversely to each other in response to an increase in the order size.
• R is the point at which a new order is placed with enough lead time for the reordering of stock.
![Page 27: MNG221- Management Science – Inventory Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649d975503460f94a8072e/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Economic Order Quantity Models
The Basic EOQ Model – Carrying Costs• Carrying cost is usually expressed on a per-
unit basis for some period of time on an annual basis (i.e., per year), and sometimes as a percentage of average inventory.
Average Inventory = Q or ∑Q points over period, t 2 number of points
![Page 28: MNG221- Management Science – Inventory Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649d975503460f94a8072e/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

![Page 30: MNG221- Management Science – Inventory Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649d975503460f94a8072e/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Economic Order Quantity Models
The Basic EOQ Model• The Optimal Value Of Q corresponds to
the lowest point on the total cost curve or the point where the ordering cost curve intersects with the carrying cost curve.
![Page 31: MNG221- Management Science – Inventory Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649d975503460f94a8072e/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Economic Order Quantity Models
The Basic EOQ Model• Thus The Optimal Value Of Q by
equating the two cost functions and solving for Q, as follows:
![Page 32: MNG221- Management Science – Inventory Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649d975503460f94a8072e/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Economic Order Quantity ModelsThe Basic EOQ Model
• Alternatively, the optimal value of Q can be determined by differentiating the total cost curve with respect to Q
![Page 33: MNG221- Management Science – Inventory Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649d975503460f94a8072e/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

Economic Order Quantity ModelsThe Basic EOQ Model - Example• The I-75 Carpet Discount Store wants to
determine the optimal order size and total inventory cost given an estimated annual demand of 10,000 yards of carpet, an annual carrying cost of $0.75 per yard, and an ordering cost of $150.
• The store would also like to know the number of orders that will be made annually and the time between orders (i.e., the order cycle).
![Page 35: MNG221- Management Science – Inventory Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649d975503460f94a8072e/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

• The model parameters as follows:
![Page 36: MNG221- Management Science – Inventory Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649d975503460f94a8072e/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Economic Order Quantity ModelsThe Basic EOQ Model – Example
• The optimal order size is computed as follows:
![Page 37: MNG221- Management Science – Inventory Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649d975503460f94a8072e/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Economic Order Quantity ModelsThe Basic EOQ Model – Example• The total annual inventory cost is determined by substituting Qopt
into the total cost formula, as follows:
![Page 38: MNG221- Management Science – Inventory Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649d975503460f94a8072e/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Economic Order Quantity Models
The Basic EOQ Model – Example• The number of orders per year is
computed as follows:

Economic Order Quantity Models
The Basic EOQ Model – Example• Given that the store is open 311 days annually
(365 days minus 52 Sundays, plus Thanksgiving and Christmas), the order cycle is determined as follows:
![Page 40: MNG221- Management Science – Inventory Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649d975503460f94a8072e/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Economic Order Quantity ModelsThe Basic EOQ Model • The optimal order quantity determined in general, is an
approximate value, because it is based on estimates of carrying and ordering costs as well as uncertain demand.
• This in practice it is acceptable to round off the Q values to the nearest whole number.
• However, the EOQ model is robust; because Q is a square root, errors in the estimation of D, Cc, and Co are dampened.
![Page 41: MNG221- Management Science – Inventory Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649d975503460f94a8072e/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

Economic Order Quantity Models
Non-instantaneous Receipt Model• A variation of the basic EOQ model is achieved
when the assumption that orders are received all at once is relaxed.
• It is also referred to as the Gradual Usage, or Production Lot Size, model.
• In this EOQ variation, the order quantity is received gradually over time and the inventory level is depleted at the same time it is being replenished.
![Page 43: MNG221- Management Science – Inventory Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649d975503460f94a8072e/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Economic Order Quantity Models
Non-instantaneous Receipt Model• This is a situation most commonly found
when the –Inventory user is also the producer–When orders are delivered gradually
over time –When retailer and producer of a
product are one and the same.
![Page 44: MNG221- Management Science – Inventory Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649d975503460f94a8072e/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)

Economic Order Quantity Models
Non-instantaneous Receipt Model• The ordering cost component of the basic
EOQ model does not change.
• However, the carrying cost component is not the same for this model variation because average inventory is different.
• The maximum inventory level is not simply Q; it is an amount somewhat lower than Q,
![Page 46: MNG221- Management Science – Inventory Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649d975503460f94a8072e/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Economic Order Quantity Models
Non-instantaneous Receipt Model• Unique parameters of this model:
–p = daily rate at which the order is received over time, also known as the production rate
–d = the daily rate at which inventory is demanded
![Page 47: MNG221- Management Science – Inventory Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649d975503460f94a8072e/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Economic Order Quantity Models
Non-instantaneous Receipt Model• As such, the maximum amount of
inventory that is on hand is computed as follows:
![Page 48: MNG221- Management Science – Inventory Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649d975503460f94a8072e/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Economic Order Quantity Models
Non-instantaneous Receipt Model• Given the maximum inventory level, the
average inventory level is determined by dividing this amount by 2, as follows:
![Page 49: MNG221- Management Science – Inventory Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649d975503460f94a8072e/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Economic Order Quantity Models
Non-instantaneous Receipt Model• The total carrying cost, using this
function for average inventory, is:
![Page 50: MNG221- Management Science – Inventory Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649d975503460f94a8072e/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Economic Order Quantity ModelsNon-instantaneous Receipt Model
• Thus, the total annual inventory cost is determined according to the following formula:
![Page 51: MNG221- Management Science – Inventory Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649d975503460f94a8072e/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Economic Order Quantity Models
Non-instantaneous Receipt Model• Therefore, to find optimal Qopt, we equate
total carrying cost with total ordering cost:
![Page 52: MNG221- Management Science – Inventory Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649d975503460f94a8072e/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Economic Order Quantity Models
Non-instantaneous Receipt Model Example• Assume that the I-75 Carpet Discount Store
has its own manufacturing facility• further assume that the ordering cost, Co, is
the cost of setting up the production process • Recall that Cc = $0.75 per yard and D = 10,000
yards per year.• The manufacturing facility operates 311 days
and produces 150 yards of the carpet per day.
![Page 53: MNG221- Management Science – Inventory Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649d975503460f94a8072e/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)

Economic Order Quantity Models
Shortages Model• The assumptions of our basic EOQ model is
that shortages and back ordering are not allowed
• The EOQ model with shortages relaxes the assumption that shortages cannot exist.
• However, it will be assumed that all demand not met because of inventory shortage can be back ordered and delivered to the customer later.
![Page 61: MNG221- Management Science – Inventory Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649d975503460f94a8072e/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)

Economic Order Quantity Models
Shortages Model• Because back-ordered demand, or shortages,
(S), are filled when inventory is replenished, the maximum inventory level does not reach Q, but instead a level equal to Q - S.
• Therefore, the cost associated with shortages has an inverse relationship to carrying costs.
• As the order size, Q, increases, the carrying cost increases and the shortage cost declines.

Economic Order Quantity Models
Shortages Model• The individual cost functions are provided as
follows, where S equals the shortage level and Cs equals the annual per-unit cost of shortages:

Economic Order Quantity Models
Shortages Model• Combining these individual cost components
results in the total inventory cost formula:

Economic Order Quantity Models
Shortages Model• The three cost component curves do not
intersect at a common point, as was the case in the basic EOQ model.
• As such, the only way to determine the optimal order size and the optimal shortage level, S, is to differentiate the total cost function with respect to Q and S.

Economic Order Quantity ModelsShortages Model• Set the two resulting equations equal to zero,
and solve them simultaneously.• Doing so results in the following formulas for the
optimal order quantity and shortage level:

Economic Order Quantity Models
Shortages Model Example• Assume that the I-75 Carpet Discount Store
allows shortages and the shortage cost, Cs, is $2 per yard per year.
• All other costs and demand remain the same

Economic Order Quantity ModelsShortages Model• Several additional parameters of the EOQ model with
shortages can be computed for this example, as follows:
• The time between orders, identified as t in is computed as follows:

Economic Order Quantity ModelsShortages Model• The time during which inventory is on hand, t1, and the
time during which there is a shortage, t2, during each order cycle can be computed using the following formulas:
