INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
INTRODUCTION
DEFINATION AND MEANING
The term inventory refers to assets, which will be sold in future in the normal course of
business operations. The asset, which the firm stores as inventory in anticipation of
need, is raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods.
Inventory often constitute a major element of a total working capital and hence it has
been correctly observed, good inventory management is a good financial management.
Basically Inventory is a list of goods and materials and those goods and materials
themselves, held available in stock by a business. Inventory are held in order to manage
and hide from the customer the fact that manufacture/supply delay is longer than
delivery delay, and also to ease the effect of imperfections in the manufacturing process
that lower production efficiencies if production capacity stands idle for lack of
materials.
Inventory Management:
Inventory management means simply to manage the inventory. The inventory
management deals to manage the stock use for further and present usage. It is also
deals in supply chain activities.

It includes;
Raw materials
Parts to be used in Manufacturing
Work In Process Inventory
Finished Goods
Spare Parts
Other Items
Raw Material:
A material or substance used in the primary production or manufacturing of a good.
Raw materials are often natural resources such as oil, iron and wood. Before being used
in the manufacturing process raw materials often are altered to be used in different
processes. Raw materials are often referred to as commodities, which are bought and
sold on commodities exchanges around the world. Raw materials are sold in what is
called the factor market. This is because raw materials are factors of production alongwith labor and capital. Raw materials are so important to the production process that
the success of a country's economy can be determined by the amount of natural
resources the country has within its own borders. A country that has abundant natural
resources does not need to import as many raw materials, and has an opportunity to
export the materials to other countries.
Work- In Process Inventory:
It means material that has entered the production process but is not yet a finished
product. Work in progress (WIP) therefore refers to all materials and partly finished
products that are at various stages of the production process. WIP excludes inventory of
raw materials at the start of the production cycle and finished products inventory at the
-
7/31/2019 FARi's Part OPM
5/30
end of the production cycle. For accounting purposes, work in progress is considered as
a current asset on the balance sheet. WIP is generally valued higher than raw materials,
but significantly lower than finished products. Most companies strive to keep the actual
amount of work in progress as low as possible, so as to reduce the amount of capitaltied up in the production or manufacturing process. Another reason to keep WIP low is
to reduce the risk of obsolescence, especially in fast-moving sectors such as technology
and consumer electronics.
The reasons for keeping stock
All these stock reasons can apply to any owner or product stage.
Buffer stock
It is held in individual workstations against the possibility that the upstream
workstation may be a little delayed in providing the next item for processing. While
some processes carry very large buffer stocks.
Safety stock
It is held against process or machine failure in the hope/belief that the failure can be
repaired before the stock runs out. This type of stock can be eliminated by programed
like total productive maintenance.
Over production
It is held because the forecast and the actual sales did not match. Making to order and
JIT eliminates this stock type.
Lot delay stock
-
7/31/2019 FARi's Part OPM
6/30
is held because a part of the process is designed to work on a batch basis whilst only
processing items individually. Therefore each item of the lot must wait for the whole lot
to be processed before moving to the next workstation. This can be eliminated by single
piece working or a lot size of one.
Demand fluctuation stock
It is held where production capacity is unable to flex with demand. Therefore a stock is
built in times of lower utilization to be supplied to customers when demand exceeds
production capacity. This can be eliminated by increasing the flexibility and capacity of
a production line or reduced by moving to item level load balancing.
Line balance stock
It is held because different sub-processes in a line work at different rates. Therefore
stock will accumulate after a fast sub-process or before a large lot size sub-process. Line
balancing will eliminate this stock type.
Changeover stock
It is held after a sub-process that has a long setup or change-over time. This stock is
then used while that change-over is happening. This stock can be eliminated by
different tools.
Where these stocks contain the same or similar items it is often the work practice to
hold all these stocks mixed together before or after the sub-process to which they relate.
This 'reduces' costs. Because they are mixed-up together there is no visual reminder to
operators of the adjacent sub-processes or line management of the stock which is due to
a particular cause and should be a particular individual's responsibility with inevitable
-
7/31/2019 FARi's Part OPM
7/30
consequences. Some plants have centralized stock holding across sub-processes which
makes the situation even more acute.
The basis of Inventory accountingInventory needs to be accounted where it is held across accounting period boundaries
since generally expenses should be matched against the results of that expense within
the same period. When processes were simple and short then inventories were small
but with more complex processes then inventories became larger and significant valued
items on the balance sheet. This need to value unsold and incomplete goods has driven
many new behaviors into management practice.
SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT
A supply chain is a network of facilities and distribution options that performs the
functions of procurement of materials, transformation of these materials into
intermediate and finished products, and the distribution of these finished products to
customers. Supply chains exist in both service and manufacturing organizations,
although the complexity of the chain may vary greatly from industry to industry and
firm to firm.
Supply chain management is typically viewed to lie between fully vertically
integrated firms, where the entire material flow is owned by a single firm and those
where each channel member operates independently. Therefore coordination between
the various players in the chain is key in its effective management.

Inventories,
Shortage of Raw Materials
Stock outs
Quantity Discounts
Order Cycle
Lead Time
So that organizations are able to meet or even exceed their customers' expectations.
The major objective of Inventory management is to reduce or eliminate the
buffers of inventory that exists between originations in chain through the sharing ofinformation on demand and current stock levels.
Broadly, an organization needs an efficient and proper supply chain
management system so that the following strategic and competitive areas can be used to
their full advantage if an inventory management management system is properly
implemented.
Fulfillment of raw materials:
Ensuring the right quantity of parts for production or products for sale arrive at
the right time. This is enabled through efficient communication, ensuring that orders
are placed with the appropriate amount of time available to be filled. The supply chain
management system also allows a company to constantly see what is on stock andmaking sure that the right quantities are ordered to replace stock.
Logistics:
-
7/31/2019 FARi's Part OPM
10/30
The cost of transporting materials as low as possible consistent with safe and
reliable delivery. Here the supply chain management system enables a company to
have constant contact with its distribution team, which could consist of trucks, trains, or
any other mode of transportation. The system can allow the company to track where therequired materials are at all times. As well, it may be cost effective to share
transportation costs with a partner company if shipments are not large enough to fill a
whole truck and this again, allows the company to make this decision.
Smooth Production:
Ensuring production lines function smoothly because high-quality parts are
available when needed. Production can run smoothly as a result of fulfillment and
logistics being implemented correctly. If the correct quantity is not ordered and
delivered at the requested time, production will be halted, but having an effective
supply chain management system in place will ensure that production can always run
smoothly without delays due to ordering and transportation.
Increase in Revenue & profit:
Ensuring no sales is lost because shelves are empty. Managing the supply chain improves
a company flexibility to respond to unforeseen changes in demand and supply. Because of this, a
company has the ability to produce goods at lower prices and distribute them to consumers
quicker than companies without supply chain management thus increasing the overall profit.
Reduction in Costs:
Keeping the cost of purchased parts and products at acceptable levels. Supply
chain management reduces costs by increasing inventory turnover on the shop floor
-
7/31/2019 FARi's Part OPM
11/30
and in the warehouse controlling the quality of goods thus reducing internal and
external failure costs and working with suppliers to produce the most cost efficient
means of manufacturing a product.
Mutual Success:
Among supply chain partners ensures mutual success. Collaborative planning,
forecasting and replenishment (CPFR) is a longer-term commitment, joint work on
quality, and support by the buyer of the suppliers managerial, technological, and
capacity development. This relationship allows a company to have access to current,
reliable information, obtain lower inventory levels, cut lead times, enhance product
quality, improve forecasting accuracy and ultimately improve customer service and
overall profits. The suppliers also benefit from the cooperative relationship through
increased buyer input from suggestions on improving the quality and costs and though
shared savings. Consumers can benefit as well through higher quality goods provided
at a lower cost.
Activities / Functions of Inventory Management
Inventory management is a cross-functional approach to managing the movement of
different products into an organization and the movement of finished goods like their
own brand First out of the organization toward the end-consumer.
These functions are increasingly being outsourced to other organizations that can
perform the activities better or more cost effectively. The effect has been to increase the
number of companies involved in satisfying consumer demand, while reducing
management control of daily logistics operations. Less control and more supply chain
partners led to the creation of inventory management concepts. The purpose of
inventory management is to improve trust and collaboration among supply chain
partners, thus improving inventory visibility and improving inventory velocity.

Several models have been proposed for understanding the activities required managing
material movements across organizational and functional boundaries. SCOR is a
supply chain management model promoted by the Supply-Chain Council. Another
model is the SCM Model proposed by the Global Supply Chain Forum (GSCF)Supply chain activities of hyperstar can be grouped into strategic, tactical, and
operational levels of activities.
Strategic
Strategic network optimization, including the number, location, and size of
warehouses, distribution centers and facilities
Strategic partnership with suppliers, distributors, and customers, creating
communication channels for critical information and operational improvementssuch as cross docking, direct shipping, and third-party logistics.
Products design coordination, So that new and existing products can be optimally
integrated into the supply chain.
Information Technology infrastructure, to support supply chain operations.
Where to make and what to make or buy decisions.
Tactical Sourcing contracts and other purchasing decisions.
Production decisions, including contracting, locations, scheduling, and planning
process definition.
Inventory decisions, including quantity, location, and quality of inventory.
Transportation strategy, including frequency, routes, and contracting.
Benchmarking of all operations against competitors and implementation of bestpractices throughout the enterprise.
Operational
Daily production and distribution planning, including all nodes in the supply
chain.

Demand planning and forecasting, coordinating the demand forecast of all
customers and sharing the forecast with all suppliers.
Sourcing planning, including current inventory and forecast demand, in
collaboration with all suppliers. Inbound operations, including transportation from
suppliers and receiving inventory.
Outbound operations, including all fulfillment activities and transportation to
customers.
Order promising, accounting for all constraints in the supply chain, including all
suppliers, manufacturing facilities, distribution centers, and other customers.
Performance tracking of all activities.
Integrated Inventory ManagementAn integrated inventory management streamlines processes and increases profitability
by delivering the right product to the right place, at the right time, and at the lowest
possible cost. Unlike commercial manufacturing supplies, clinical supplies planning is
very dynamic and can often have last minute changes. Availability of patient kit when
patient arrives at investigator site is very important for clinical trial success.
An integrated supply chain can reduce the overproduction of products by efficient
demand management, planning, and inventory management. Implementation of ERP
system (such as SAP) in R&D can have major ROI by an efficient supply and inventory
management system and also by reducing overproduction.
Inventory Decisions
These refer to means by which inventories are managed. Inventories exist at every stage
of the supply chain as either raw material, semi-finished or finished goods. They can
also be in-process between locations. There primary purpose to buffer against any
uncertainty that might exist in the supply chain. Since holding of inventories can cost

anywhere between 20 to 40 percent of their value, their efficient management is critical
in supply chain operations. It is long term in the sense that top management sets goals.
However, most researchers have approached the management of inventory from short
term perspective. These include deployment strategies (push versus pull), controlpolicies --- the determination of the optimal levels of order quantities and reorder
points, and setting safety stock levels, at each stocking location. These levels are critical,
since they are primary determinants of customer service levels.
Inventory Control ManagementInventory Database
An important component of inventory planning involves access to an inventory
database. It is a structured framework that contains the information needed to
effectively manage all items of inventory, from raw materials to finished goods of his
own brand which is First. This information includes the classification and amount of
inventories, demand for the items, cost to the firm for each item, ordering costs,
carrying costs and other data.
The task of inventory planning can be highly complex. At the same time it rests onfundamental principles. In doing so we must understand and determine the optimal lot
size that has to be ordered. The EOQ (economic order quantity) refers to the optimal
order size that will result in the lowest total of order and carrying costs and ordering
costs. By calculating the economic order quantity the firm attempts to determine the
order size that will minimize the total inventory costs. In examination of the two curves
reveals that the carrying cost curve is linear i.e. more the inventory held in any period,
greater will be the cost of holding it. Ordering cost curve on the other hand is different.
The ordering costs decrease with an increase in order sizes. The point where the
holding cost curve i.e. the carrying cost curve and the ordering cost curve meet,
represent the least total cost which is incidentally the economic order quantity or
optimum quantity.

Inventory Flow
The management of logistics is concerned with the movement and storage of differentproduct, materials and finished products. Logistical operations start with the initial
shipment of a material or component part from a supplier and are finalized when a
manufactured or processed product is delivered to a customer. From the initial
purchase of a material or component, the logistical process adds value. By moving
inventory when and where needed. Thus the material gains value at each step. For a
large manufacturer, logistical operations may consist of thousands of movements,
which ultimately culminate in the delivery of the product to an industrial user,wholesaler, dealer or customer. Similarly for a retailer, logistical operations may
commence with the procurement of products for resale and may terminate with
consumer pickup or delivery.
The significant point is that regardless of the size or type of the enterprise, logistics is
useful and requires continuous management attention.

BASIC INVENTORY DECISIONS
There are two basic decisions that must be made for every item that is maintained ininventory. These decisions have to do with the timing of orders for the item and the size
of orders for the item.

Cost of carrying inventory
Carrying material in inventory is expensive. A number of studies indicated that the
annual cost of carrying a production inventory averaged approximately 25% of the
value of the inventory.When a firm uses money to buy production material and keeps it in the inventory, it
simply has this much less cash to spend for other purposes. Money invested in external
securities or in productive equipment earns a return for the company. Thus it is logical
to charge all money invested in inventory an amount equal to that it could earn
elsewhere in the company. This is the opportunity cost associated with inventory
investment.
Insurance cost
Most firms insure the assets against possible losses from fire and other forms of
damage.
Property taxes
This is levied on the assessed value of a firms assets, the greater the inventory value,
the greater the asset value and consequently the higher the firms tax bill.
Storage costs
The warehouse is depreciated every year over the length of its life. This cost can be
charged against the inventory occupying the space.
Obsolescence and deterioration
In most inventory operations, a certain percentage of the stock spoils, is damaged, is
pilfered, or eventually becomes obsolete. A certain number always takes place even if
they are handled with utmost care.
Generally speaking, this group of carrying costs rises and falls nearly proportionately tothe rise and fall of the inventory level.

Inventory Control Overview
Normal InventoryAs it sounds, this type of inventory item will be used for the majority of your parts. It
will correctly track the inventory received and sold on a first in first out basis, will
handle cost of sales, and will warn you when you're out of stock.
Non-Inventory TypeThis is used for selling things that are not really inventory items. For example, you
could be selling warranty, but because you don't have warranty in a box to sell, and
you'll never run out of stock, you won't need to keep inventory control on it. As well,
there is no cost of sale adjustments with non-stock items. The system will not calculate
how much you paid for the item, and therefore will not try to remove that value from
inventory in the general ledger. If you are selling something that does cost you money,
you will have to handle these details manually.
Labor PartsYou (probably) don't have technicians hanging from hooks in your back room, so like
non-inventory items, the system will not try to remove them from inventory when you
sell a labor item. The two differences between Non-Inventory items an Labor items are
that you can optionally have the system ask you for the technician code that did the
work so that you can print reports showing who did what work. As well, the system
-
7/31/2019 FARi's Part OPM
19/30
will optionally ask for a comment to explain what was done so that the description of
the service work can be printed on the invoice.
Note too that you can optionally keep track of how much time was spent and how
much time was billed for on a per job basis. At the end of the month, you can then printtechnician productivity reports to compare total time spent compared to billable hours.
In the automotive industry, some mechanics can do the work faster than is what is
billed because the billing is based on industry standards.
Consignment Items
Consignments can be used to keep track of inventory that you don't own, but at the
time you sell it, you must pay for it. You'll be able to generate several reports, including
a list of inventory that is on consignment but not sold and a list of inventory sold on
consignment, but not yet paid for.
Floor Plan InventoryFloor planning is very similar to consignment, except that you take possession and own
the inventory when you receive it, but you don't have to pay for it until it's sold, or until
it's been in the store for a negotiated period of time. However, you do own the
inventory and do have to pay for it sometime.
Product InventoryProducts are items such as food, home appliances that you might service after selling
them to the customer. That is, they are an item in the database that can be sold, and
when sold, are automatically added to the customer's list of products that can beworked on. Examples are food, recreational vehicles, fridges, air conditioners,
Computers etc.
-
7/31/2019 FARi's Part OPM
20/30
Serialized InventoryThose items that need to be tracked by their serial numbers can be marked as serialized
inventory. For example, fridges, stoves, computers, and chainsaws might all be
serialized. Note that if you plan on servicing these items in the future and keeping trackof all work you do on them, they should be entered as products instead of serial
numbers.
Advantage Inventory Control
The Inventory Control gives you the ability to handle your inventory your way. As one
of the most flexible and comprehensive modules in the Advantage, you can choose the
level of control that best suits your specific business needs. Your inventory can be
valued on a LIFO, FIFO or Average cost basis. You can choose to use parts explosions,
serialized inventory, parts allocations, vendors, warehouses and an audit trail. The
system can also track the quantity sold for each item for the last 12 months and, using
this data, provides a sales analysis report to help you better manage your stock.
INVENTORY MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUES:
In managing inventories, the firms objective should be in consonance with the
shareholders, wealth maximization principle. To achieve this, the firm should
determine the optimum level of inventory. Efficiently controlled inventories make the
firm flexible. Inefficient inventory control results in unbalanced inventory and
inflexibility. The firm may sometimes run out of stock and sometimes may pile up
unnecessary stocks. This increases the level of investment and makes the firm
unprofitable. To manage inventories efficiently, answers should be sought to the
following two questions:
How much should be ordered?
When should it be ordered?
-
7/31/2019 FARi's Part OPM
21/30
The first question, how much to order relates to the problem of determining economic
order quantity (EOQ) and answered with an analysis of costs of maintaining certain
level of inventories. The second question, when to order, arises because of uncertainty
and is a problem of determining the reorder point.
ECONOMIC ORDER QUANTITY (EOQ):
One of the major inventory management problems to be resolved is how much
inventory should be added when inventory is replenished. If the firm is buying raw
materials, it has to decide lots in which it has to be purchase on replenishment. If the
firm is planning a production run, the issue is how much production to schedule (or
how much to make). These problems are called order quantity problems, and the task of
the firm is to determine the optimum or economic order quantity (or economic lot size).
Determining an optimum inventory level involves two types of costs: (a) ordering costs
and (b) carrying costs. The economic order quantity is that inventory level that
minimizes the total of ordering and carrying costs.
Ordering Costs:
The term ordering costs is used in case of raw materials (or supplies) and includes the
entire costs incurred in the following activities:
Requisition
Purchase
Ordering
Transporting
Receiving
Inspecting
Storing (store placement)
-
7/31/2019 FARi's Part OPM
22/30
Ordering costs increase in proportion to the number of orders placed. The clerical and
staff costs, however, do not have to vary in proportion to the number of orders placed,
and one view is that so long as they are committed costs, they need not be reckoned in
computing ordering cost. Alternatively, it may be argued that as the number of orderincreases, the clerical and staff costs tend to increase. If the number of orders are
drastically reduced, the clerical and staff force release now can be used in other
departments. Thus, these costs may be included in the ordering costs. It is more
appropriate to include clerical and staff costs on a pro rata basis. Ordering costs
increase with the number of orders, thus the more frequently inventory is acquired, the
higher the firms ordering costs. On the other hand, if the firm maintains a large
inventory levels, there will be few orders placed and ordering costs will be relativelysmall. Thus, ordering costs decrease with the increasing size of inventory.
Carrying Costs:
Costs incurred for maintaining a given level of inventory are called carrying costs. They
include storage, insurance, taxes, deterioration and adolescence. The storage costs
comprise cost of storage space (warehousing cost), stores handling costs and clerical
and staff service costs (administrative costs) incurred in recording and providing
special facilities such as fencing, lines, racks etc. Carrying costs vary with inventory
size. This behavior is contrary to that of ordering costs which decline with increase in
inventory size. The economic size of inventory would thus depend on trade off
between carrying costs and ordering costs.
Re-Order point:
The re-order point is that inventory level at which an order should be placed to
replenish the inventory. To determine the re-order point under certainty, we should
know:
-
7/31/2019 FARi's Part OPM
23/30
Lead time
Average usage
Economic order quantity
Lead time:
Lead time is the time normally taken in replenishing the inventory after the order has
been placed. By certainty we mean that uses and lead time do not fluctuate. Under such
a situation reorder point is simply that inventory level which will be maintained for
consumption during the lead time .i. e,
Reorder point = Lead * Average usage.
Safety stock:
The demand for material may fluctuate from day to day or from week to week.
Similarly, the actual delivery time may be different from the normal lead time. If the
actual usage increases or the delivery of inventory is delayed, the firms can a problem
of stock-out which can prove to be costly for a firm. Therefore, in order to guard against
the stock out, the firm may maintain a safety stock. It is the minimum or buffer
inventory as cushion against expected increased usage and/or delay in delivery time.
PRICING OF RAW MATERIALS:
Several methods are used for pricing inventories used in production. The important
ones are:
First-in first-out(FIFO)methodLast-in first-out(LIFO)method
Weighted average cost method
Standard cost(price)method
-
7/31/2019 FARi's Part OPM
24/30
FIFO method:
This method assumes that the order in which materials are received in the stores is the
order in which materials are issued from the stores. Hence, the material which is issuedfirst is priced on the basis of the cost of material received earliest, so on and so forth.
The chareacteristics of this method seemed to be:
1. The pricing of material is perhaps consistent with the practice of issuing oldest
material first followed in many manufacturing organization.
2. The value of material in stock is fairly closed to the current cost.
3. In the period of rising prices, the charge to production is low. This tends to inflate
reported profits, increase tax burden & push up dividends-as a consequence, the firm is
sapped financially.
LIFO method:
This method is the opposite of FIFO method. It assumes that the material which is
acquired last is issued first. Hence material issues are priced on the basis of the cost of
most recent material purchases.
Weighted Average Cost Method:
Under this method, material issues are priced at a weighted average cost of materials in
stock. To get an up-to-date weighted average cost figure, a new weighted average cost
is calculated each time a delivery is received.
Standard Price (cost) Method:
Under this method a standard price is predetermined. When materials are purchased
the stock amount is debited with the standard price. The difference between the actual
price & standard price is carried to a variance account. Materials issued are charged asper the standard price.
There is no need for specific prices attributable to specific issues of materials. The short
comings of this method are:
-
7/31/2019 FARi's Part OPM

(i) determining the standard price may be somewhat difficult, particularly when
prices tend to increase somewhat unpredictably or are characterized by wide
fluctuations.
(ii) (ii) the issue of how variance should be treated may be thorny.

The inventory management process by Hyperstar
When we asked, the on duty floor manager of the Hyperstar store told that theymaintain stocks of FMCG as well as electronic & cosmetics goods as per the
