The EOQ Model


This week I will start by explaining the Economic Order
Quantity (EOQ).

What is the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ)?

It is a classic economic model developed in the early 1900s


that minimises total cost, which is the sum of the inventory
holding cost and the ordering cost.

The EOQ Model Assumptions


EOQ is based on the following assumptions:
- Only 2 types of costs are relevant: ordering/setup (S) and
holding (H)
- Demand is constant
- Demand for items is independent (Only a single item (SKU)
is considered)
- There is certainty in demand, lead time and supply
- The entire order quantity (Q) arrives in the inventory at
one time.
- No stockouts are allowed.

FROM THESE ASSUMPTIONS, LETS MOVE TO LEARN HOW TO


CALCULATE EOQ & THE ANNUAL INVENTORY COST

CHAPTER 12

EOQ & Inventory Cost Exercise

MANAGING INVENTORIES

A museum of natural history opened a gift shop which operates 52


weeks per year.
Top-selling SKU is a bird feeder.
Sales are 18 units per week, the supplier charges $60 per unit.
Ordering cost is $45.
Annual holding cost is 25 percent of a feeders value.

!
Question:

What is the EOQ?

What is the annual inventory cost?


Operating Weeks = 52
Sales Per Week = 18 Units

Lets start by understanding the data

Cost Per Unit = $60


Ordering Cost Per Order (Co)= $45
Annual Holding Cost Per Unit (Ch) = 0.25% Of Cost

Question:
What is the annual inventory cost?

Annual Demand (D) = 18 * 52 = 936 Units


Cost Per Unit = $60

Answer:
1. Calculate annual holding cost

Ordering Cost (Co)= $45


Annual Holding Cost (Ch) = 0.25% Of Cost
Ordering Quanitity (Q) = EOQ = 75 Units

= (Average cycle inventory) (Unit holding cost)

Ordering In A Fixed Order System When Demand Is Uncertain

When demand is uncertain, using EOQ based on the average


demand will result in a high probability of a stockout.
This is why safety stock is often kept to deliver the required
service level.
Safety stock is additional planned on-hand inventory that
acts as a buffer to reduce the risk of a stockout.
A service level is the desired probability of not having a
stockout during a lead-time period.

The Periodic Review Or Fixed Period System


!

An alternative to a fixed order quantity system is a


fixed period system (FPS)sometimes called a
periodic review systemin which the inventory
position is checked only at fixed intervals of time, T,
rather than on a continuous basis.
Two principal decisions in a FPS:
1.

The time interval between reviews (T), and

2.

The replenishment level (M)

ABC Systems

CHAPTER 12

MANAGING INVENTORIES

ABC Systems:
Classifies inventory in categories based on importance
Allocate control efforts accordingly to importance
Uses the 80/20 rule (20% of items usually account for 80% of the value)

!
Category A contains the most important items

A items account for a large dollar value but relatively small percentage of
total items (e.g., 10% to 30 % of items, yet 60% to 80% of total dollar value)
Category B contains moderately important items
Category C contains the least important items
C items account for a small dollar value but a large percentage of total
items (e.g., 50% to 60% of items, yet about 5% to 15% of total dollar
value)
Preferred to order C items in large quantities and carry excess safety stock
especially if the setup cost is high

Understanding Scheduling & Sequencing


Scheduling and sequencing are some of the more
common activities that operations managers perform
everyday in every business.

Good schedules and sequences lead to efficient


execution of manufacturing and service plans and
better customer service.

WHAT IS SCHEDULING AND SEQUENCING?

Adapted - Collier & Evans (2013). OM4, South-Western, Cengage Learning. ISBN-13: 978-1-133-37242-4
Copyright 2014 - Fadi Kotob

Understanding Scheduling & Sequencing

Scheduling refers to the assignment of start and


completion times to particular jobs, people, or equipment.
Examples: scheduling restaurant employees, airline
crews and planes, sports teams, factory jobs

Sequencing which is a concept related to scheduling


refers to determining the order in which jobs or tasks are
processed.
Examples: emergency room patients, automobile
models on an assembly line, outgoing flights on
runways

Scheduling
Applications
&
Approaches
!
Scheduling applies to all aspects of the value chain, from
planning and releasing orders in a factory, determining work
shifts for employees, and making deliveries to customers.
Scheduling tools include:

Spreadsheets

Software packages

Web-based tools

We will cover 2 common applications of scheduling that are


prevalent in operations management. These are:

Staff scheduling

Appointment systems

Staff
Scheduling
!
Staff scheduling attempts to match available personnel with the
needs of the organisation by:
1. Accurately forecasting demand and translating it into the
quantity and timing of work to be done.
2. Determining the staffing required to perform the work
by time period.
3. Determining the personnel available and the full- and
part-time mix.
4. Matching capacity to demand requirements and
developing a work schedule that maximises service and
minimises costs.

The
Staff Scheduling Problem & Solution Procedure
!
The Problem:
Consider the minimum number of workers required for each
day of the week and schedule employees so that each has
two consecutive days off and all demand requirements are
met.
Solution Procedure:
1. Locate the set of at least two consecutive days with the
smallest requirements, circle the requirements for these
days, and assign a worker to all days not circled.
2. Subtract 1 from the requirement of each day not circled,
removing existing circles, and repeat this process until all
requirements are satisfied.

Appointment Systems
Appointments systems on the other hand can be viewed as a
reservation for service time and capacity.
Four decisions:
1. Determine the appointment time interval.
2. Determine the length of each workday and time offduty.
3. Decide how to handle overbooking.
4. Develop customer appointment rules that maximise
customer satisfaction.

Sequencing
After covering the scheduling applications and approaches,
lets start by explaining sequencing which is required when
several activities must be processed using a common
resource.

First, it is important to understand the sequencing performance


criteria and the sequencing rules.

The criteria is often classified into 3 categories:


1. Process-focused performance criteria
2. Customer-focused due date criteria
3. Cost-based criteria

Sequencing - The Process Focused Performance Criteria

Process-focused performance criteria looks at information about


the start and end times of jobs and focus on shop performance
such as equipment utilisation and work in process inventory.
Two common measures which are:

Flow time

Makespan

Copyright 2014 - Fadi Kotob

Sequencing - The Process Focused Performance Criteria

Flow time is the amount of time a job spent in the shop or


factory.

Fi = pij + wij = Ci - Ri
where
Fi = flow time of job i
pij = sum of all processing times of job i at workstation or
area j (run + setup times)
wij = sum of all waiting times of job i at workstation or area j
Ci = completion time of job i
Ri = ready time for job i where all materials, specifications,
and so on are available

Makespan is the time needed to process a given set of jobs.


M= C-S
where
M = makespan of a group of jobs
C = completion time of last job in the group
S = start time of first job in the group

Sequencing - The Customer Focused Due Date Criteria

Customer focused due dates considers the due dates promised


to customers or the internally pre-determined shipping dates.
Two common measures which are:

Lateness

Tardiness

- The Customer Focused Due Date Criteria
!

Lateness is the difference between the completion time


and the due date (either positive or negative).

Tardiness is the amount of time by which the completion


time exceeds the due date.

(Tardiness is defined as zero if job is completed before due


date.)

where

Li = Ci - Di

[14.3]

Ti = Max (0, Li)

[14.4]

Li = lateness of job i
Ti = tardiness of job i

The are many sequencing rules that can be used. These rules
are divided into 2 categories:
1. Rules for fixed set of jobs
2. Rules for intermittent set of jobs

The
Sequencing Rules For Fixed Set Of Jobs
!

Sequencing rules for a fixed set of jobs are:


!

Shortest Processing Time (SPT)


SPT sequencing maximises resource utilisation and
minimises average flow time and work-in-process
inventory.
!

Earliest Due Date (EDD)


EDD minimises the maximum job tardiness and
lateness.

The Sequencing Rules For Intermittent Set Of Jobs


!

Priority rules when new jobs arrive intermittently:

First come-first served (FCFS) used in many service


delivery systems and does not consider any job or
customer criterion.

Fewest number of operations remaining (FNO) but does


not consider the length of time for each operation.

Least work remaining (LWR) the sum of all processing


times for operations not yet performed.

Least amount of work at the next process queue (LWNQ)


amount of work awaiting the next process in a jobs
sequence. Rule tries to keep downstream work stations
and associated resources busy.

Application Of Sequencing Rules


Single-Resource Sequencing Problem
!

Process a set of jobs on a single processor.


FCFS (First come-first served) rule works well when
processing times are relatively equal.
SPT (Shortest processing time) sequencing finds a
minimal average flow time sequence.
EDD (Earliest due date) rule minimises the maximum
job tardiness and lateness.

Application Of Sequencing Rules


Two-Resource Sequencing Problem

For a two-resource sequencing problem, S. M. Johnson


developed a sequencing rule to minimise the time needed to
process a given set of jobs (Makespan). The steps to
achieve this are:
1. List the jobs and their processing times on Resources
#1 and #2.
2. Find the job with the shortest processing time (on
either resource).
3. If this time corresponds to Resource #1, sequence the
job first; if it corresponds to Resource #2, sequence
the job last.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3, using the next-shortest
processing time and working inward from both ends of
the sequence until all jobs have been scheduled.

Two-Resource Sequencing Example

There are 5 jobs to be completed with each job requiring


first a shearing operation (Resource #1) and then a punchpress operation (Resource #2).
STEP 1

2. Find the job with the shortest processing time (on either
resource).
3. If this time corresponds to Resource #1, sequence the job
first; if it corresponds to Resource #2, sequence the job last.

Job 2 has the shortest processing time;


since it is on Resource 2, schedule it last.
Job 5 has the next shortest processing
time; since it is on Resource 1, schedule it
first:
