What is INVENTORY?
LSM-306 Supply Chain Management 623.925- Logistics Systems Engineering
stocks of ready made goods or raw materials .. that are needed to be kept in order to be able to meet the orders of clients
Uncertainty in customer demand Shorter product lifecycles More competing products Uncertainty in supplies Quality/Quantity/Costs/Delivery Times Delivery lead times Incentives for larger shipments

Inventory Optimization
No Idle Inventories
No Shortage Of Inventories
Fail to reach to market in time Loss of Productivity Reduced levels commitment to Customers
Shortage Of Inventories
Accumulation of inventories = Increased capital cost Increased indirect costs towards storage, safety etc Obsolescence of inventory
Idle Inventories
Dell Computers was sharply off in its forecast of demand, resulting in inventory write-downs

Toyota has decided to order its dealers to alter a part in accelerator pedals on 3.8 million already recalled vehicles in the US. In September, the car giant advised drivers to remove their floor mats after warning the pedals could become jammed under it. Now, dealers have been told to shorten the accelerator pedals while Toyota manufactures a full replacement pedal. The pedal fault has been blamed for at least one fatal accident involving a Lexus ES350 that killed a California Highway Patrol officer and three members of his family.

Types of Inventory
Cycle Stock required to meet demand under conditions of certainty In-transit Inventories part of cycle stock (but en route from one location to other) though not available for sale and/or shipment Safety or Buffer stock is in excess of cycle stock because of uncertainty in demand or lead times Speculative stock inventory held for reasons other than satisfying current demand Seasonal Stock a form of speculative stock involving accumulation of inventory before beginning of a season Dead Stock set of products for which no demand registered for a specified period of time

Firms to remember the following principles: The forecast is always wrong It is difficult to match supply and demand The longer the forecast horizon, the worse the forecast It is even more difficult if one needs to predict customer demand for a long period of time Aggregate forecasts are more accurate. More difficult to predict customer demand for individual (StockKeeping Units) SKUs Much easier to predict demand across all SKUs within one product family

Assumptions
P = Ordering cost Q items per order: Order quantities are fixed, i.e., each time the warehouse places an order, it is for Q items. D = Demand per annum (number of units) C = Annual inventory carrying cost accrued per unit held in inventory per day that the unit is held (also known as, holding cost) as a % of product cost V = Average cost of one unit of inventory
20
Deriving EOQ
LSM-306 Supply Chain Management 623.925- Logistics Systems Engineering
Total Annual cost (TAC) = (V x C x Q/2) + (P x (D/Q)) (I.C. cost) (Ord. cost) dTAC = d(V x C x Q/2) + d(P x (D/Q))

Adjustments to EOQ
Adjustments need to be made to include: Volume of transportation costs and Quantity discounts

Q1 = Maximum quantity that can be economically ordered to qualify for a discount on unit cost r = Percentage of price reduction if a larger quantity is ordered D = Demand per annum (number of units) C = Annual inventory carrying cost accrued per unit held in inventory per day that the unit is held (also known as, holding cost) as a % of product cost Q0 = EOQ based on current price Q1 = 2(r D/C) + (1-r) Q0

1. Orders for less than 15000 lbs (15000/25=600 cases) have a rate of $ 4.00/cwt, which is = $1 per case 2. Orders weighing between 15000 lbs and 39000 lbs (600 cases and 1560 cases) have a rate of $ 3.90/cwt, which is = $0.975 per case 3. Orders weighing 40000 or more lbs (1600 cases) have a rate of $ 3.64/cwt, which is = $0.91 per case

Factors influencing forecast accuracy: Economic conditions Competitive actions Changes in Govt. regulations Market shifts Changes in consumer buying patterns Transit times may vary More time may be required to assemble an order or wait for scheduled production on one occasion than another occasion Inconsistent lead times for components and raw materials Incapability of suppliers to respond to the demand changes
30
Importance of Order quantity It influences number of orders Consequently the number of times the firm is exposed to a potential stock-out at the end each order cycle Note: The point at which the order is placed is the primary determinant of future ability to fill demand while waiting for replenishment stock
31
Fixed Order point - Fixed Order Quantity Model Order is placed when inventory in hand and on the order reaches to a pre-determined minimum level required to satisfy demand during order cycle Fixed Order Interval Model compares current inventory with fore cast demand places an order for the necessary quantity at regular specified time .. Facilitates combining orders for various items in a vendors line .there by qualifying for : Volume purchase discounts and freight consolidation savings

Forecasting
33
Establishment of service level a safety stock policy (Customer relation) (ability to continuous production) really a matter of managerial judgment.
34
Establishment of more economical policy: (i) To stock highest volume products at retail locations (ii) To stock high-moderate volume products at field-ware house locations (iii) To stock slow-moving products at centrlised-locations (may be distribution centre or a plant ware house)
35
Increasing investment in inventory with back orders remaining constant High customer turnout Increasing number of orders being cancelled Wide variance in inventory turnover among distribution centers and among major inventory items Deteriorating relationships with intermediaries, as typified by dealer cancellations and declining orders Large quantities of obsolete items
36
Multi-echelon inventory planning (Ex: ABC Analysis) Lead time analysis Elimination of obsolete items Analysis of pack size and discount structure Measurement of fill rates (magnitude of the stock-out situation) by SKUs Analysis of customer demand characteristics Note: The best method of reducing inventory investment is to reduce ordercycle time by using advanced order processing systems
37
ABC Analysis
Logic behind ABC Analysis: 20% of firms customers or products account for 80% of the sales (may be a larger % of profits) Steps in ABC analysis: Rank products by sales or preferably by contributing to profitability Check for differences between high-volume and low-volume items
38
39
Note: Though transportation costs for B & C items are greater, inventory reductions are more.
40
Target inventory level = 95% across all products. Service level > 99% for many products with high profit margin, high volume and low variability. Service level < 95% for products with low profit margin, low volume and high variability.
41
Forecasting
is an important aspect of aspect of I.M. Developed at the total company or product level Down to product class and SKUs (based on past sales history) Down to central Distribution center to branch/regional distribution centers using one of the following methods:
Going rate rate of sales that the SKU is experiencing at each location Weeks/months of supply the number of weeks/months of sales based on expected future sales that management wishes to hold at each location Available inventory currently available inventory less back orders

Forecasting
LSM-306 Supply Chain Management 623.925- Logistics Systems Engineering
RULES OF FORECASTING The forecast is always wrong. The longer the forecast horizon, the worse the forecast. Aggregate forecasts are more accurate.
43
Utility of Forecasting
LSM-306 Supply Chain Management 623.925- Logistics Systems Engineering
Part of the available tools for a manager Despite difficulties with forecasts, it can be used for a variety of decisions Number of techniques allow prudent use of forecasts as needed
44
Techniques
Judgment Methods Sales-force composite Experts panel Delphi method Market research/survey Time Series Moving Averages Exponential Smoothing Trends Regression Holts method Seasonal patterns Seasonal decomposition Trend + Seasonality Winters Method Causal Methods
45
Purpose of the forecast How will the forecast be used? Dynamics of system for which forecast will be made How accurate is the past history in predicting the future?
46
SUMMARY
LSM-306 Supply Chain Management 623.925- Logistics Systems Engineering
Matching supply with demand a major challenge Forecast demand is always wrong Longer the forecast horizon, less accurate the forecast Aggregate demand more accurate than disaggregated demand Need the most appropriate technique Need the most appropriate inventory policy
47
Risk Pooling
LSM-306 Supply Chain Management 623.925- Logistics Systems Engineering
Demand variability is reduced if one aggregates demand across locations. More likely that high demand from one customer will be offset by low demand from another. Reduction in variability allows a decrease in safety stock and therefore reduces average inventory.
48
Demand Variation
LSM-306 Supply Chain Management 623.925- Logistics Systems Engineering
Standard deviation measures how much demand tends to vary around the average Gives an absolute measure of the variability Coefficient of variation is the ratio of standard deviation to average demand Gives a relative measure of the variability, relative to the average demand
