Inventory Fundamentals
Inventory = material + supply For sale
Inventory Fundamentals
Cost for carrying inventories
- Increase operation cost - Decrease profit
Inventory Fundamentals
1. Inventory results from production: finished goods 2. Inventory support production: raw material work in process (WIP), etc. 1 and 2 must be coordinated Inventory must be considered at each of the planning level - Production planning: over all - Master production schedule: end items - Material requirement planning: components & raw material
Inventory Fundamentals
Aggregate inventory management
Deals with managing inventory according to their classification
- Raw material - Work in process (WIP - Finished good
Function of different inventories - not individual item level Financially oriented - cost and benefits of carrying different classifications of inventories
Inventory Fundamentals
Involves
1. Flow and kind of inventory needed 2. Supply and demand pattern 3. Functions that inventories perform 4. Objective of inventory management 5. Cost associated with inventory
Inventory Fundamentals
Item inventory management
Item level, not aggregate Management establishes decision rule about inventory item Rules
- Which inventory items are most important - How individual items are to be controlled How much to order at one time - When to place an order
Inventory Fundamentals
Factors affecting inventory management decision
1. Types of inventory based on the flow of material 2. Supply and demand pattern 3. Function performed by inventory 4. Objective of inventory management 5. Inventory cost

Classification depends on production environment For example tire
Tire is finished goods for tire manufacturer Tire is raw material for car manufacturer
Inventory Fundamentals
2. Supply and demand pattern
If supply meet demand - no inventory Demand must be predictable, stable and relatively constant over a long time period zero inventory
Produce goods on a line - flow basis matching production with demand - no inventory
Raw material
Zero
Work center
Zero
Customer
Inventory Fundamentals
2. Supply and demand pattern-continues Large demand to justify setting up flow system
Demand is instable - varies Lots or batch manufacturing Workstations are organized by function Work flow from workstation to workstation in lot Inventory build up in
Raw material Work in process (WIP) Finished goods
Inventory Fundamentals
3. Functions performed by inventory :
Decouple supply and demand Buffer between supply and demand Buffer between finished goods and customer demand
Inventory Fundamentals
3. Functions performed by inventory continue
Requirement for an operation and the output from the preceding operation Parts and material to begin production and supplies of material
Inventory Fundamentals
3. Functions performed by inventory continue
Classification of inventory by function: a) Anticipation inventory:
Build up in anticipation of future demand Example: before peak selling season, promotion program, vacation, shut down, etc. To help level production To reduce cost of changing production rate
Inventory Fundamentals
Classification of inventory by function continues b) Fluctuation inventory (Safety stock):
Inventory is held to cover random, unpredictable fluctuation in supply and demand or in lead time If demand or lead time is greater than forecast, a stock out occurs Safety stock is carried to protect stock out
Inventory Fundamentals
Classification of inventory by function continues 2. Fluctuation inventory (Safety stock):
Prevent disruption in manufacturing or deliveries to customer Safety stock - buffer stock - reserve stock
Inventory Fundamentals
Classification of inventory by function continues 3. Lot size inventory:
Items purchased or manufacturing in quantities greater the needed Lot size inventory - cycle inventory Portion of inventory that depletes gradually as customer order received Replenish cyclically when suppliers order are received
Inventory Fundamentals
Classification of inventory by function continues 4. Transportation inventory:
Transportation inventory - Pipeline inventory - movement inventory Time needed to move goods from one location to another location Example: supplier to manufacturer; plant to distribution centers, etc.
Inventory Fundamentals
Classification of inventory by function continues 4. Transportation inventory:
I = t x A/ 365; I = average amount; A=annual demand; t = transit time, days I Cost; I t;
Inventory Fundamentals
Classification of inventory by function continues 4. Transportation inventory:
Example: Delivery of goods from a supplier is in transit for ten days. If the annual demand is 5200 units, what is the average annual inventory in transit? I = 10 x 5200 / 365 = 142.5 units
Inventory Fundamentals

3. Ordering cost
Associated with placing an order with a factory or supplier Independent of quantity order Depends on number of orders placed in a year Production control cost * Setup time *Production loss * Tear down at the end of run Lost capacity cost * Incurred when an order is placed
* * * Order preparation Follow-up Authorizing payment * Expediting * Receiving * Receiving and paying invoice
Inventory Fundamentals
Inventory costs:
1. 2. Item cost Carrying cost
3. Ordering cost: Example A company carry an average annual inventory of $2,000,000. If they estimate the cost of capital is 10%. Storage costs are 7% and risk costs are 6%. What does it cost per year to carry this inventory?
Inventory Fundamentals
Example-continues
Total cost of carrying inventory = 10% + 7% + 6% Total cost of carrying inventory = 23% Total annual cost of carrying inventory = 23% x $2,000,000 Total annual cost of carrying inventory = 0.23 x $2,000,000 Total annual cost of carrying inventory = $460,000
Inventory Fundamentals
Ordering cost: Example Given the following annual costs, calculate the average cost of placing one order. Production control salaries = $60, 000 Supplies and operating expenses for production control department = $15,000 Cost of setting up work centers for an order = $120 Order placed each year = 2000
Inventory Fundamentals
Ordering cost: Example
Average cost = fixed cost/number of orders + variable cost
Average cost = ($60, 000 + $15,000 )/2000 + $120 Average cost = $37.50 + $120 = $157.50

Based on a sales forecast of 2000, 3000, 6000 and 5000 per quarter, calculate a level production plan, quarterly ending inventory and average quarterly inventory. If inventory carrying costs are $3 per unit per quarter, what is the annual cost of carrying inventory? Opening and ending inventories are zero.
Inventory Fundamentals
Financial statement and inventory: Balance sheet Assets = Liabilities + Owners equity Income statement Income = Revenue - Expenses Cash - flow analysis
- Cash requires To purchase raw material Pay for production cost Labor - overhead
Inventory Fundamentals
Financial statement and inventory: Example: a) If the owners equity is $1,000 and liabilities are $800, what are the assets b) If the assets $1,000 and liabilities are $600, what is the owners equity? a) Assets = Liabilities + Owners equity Assets = $800 + $1,000 = $ 1,800) Owners equity = Assets - Liabilities Owners equity = $1,000 - $600 = $400
Inventory Fundamentals
Financial statement and inventory: continues Cash in - cash out > 0; self-finance Income statement Cash in - cash out < 0; borrow Example: Given the following data, calculate the gross margin and the net income. How much would profit increase if, through better material management, material costs are reduced by $50,000?

Inventory Fundamentals
Financial inventory performance measures: Inventory - money tied up
1. Total inventory investment 2. Inventory turn ratio 3. Days of supply
Inventory Fundamentals
Financial inventory performance measures: continues
Inventory turn ratio = Annual cost of goods sold / average inventory in $ - Higher is better
If annual cost of goods sold is $1 million and average inventory is $500,000, then Inventory turn ratio = $1,000,000/$500,000 = 2
Inventory Fundamentals
Inventory turn ratio - continues Example: a) What will be the inventory turn ratio if the annual cost of goods sold is $24 million a year and the average inventory is $6 million? Answer:
Inventory turn ratio = Annual cost of goods sold / average inventory in $ Inventory turn ratio = $24 million/$6 million = 4
Inventory Fundamentals
Inventory turn ratio - continues Example: b) What would be the reduction in inventory if inventory turn ratio is increased to 12 times per year? Answer:
average inventory in $ = Annual cost of goods sold / Inventory turn ratio
average inventory = $24 million/ 12 =$2 million Reduction in inventory = $6 million - $ 2 million = $4 million
Inventory Fundamentals
Inventory turn ratio - continues Example: c) If cost of carrying inventory is 25% of the average inventory, what will be the savings? Answer:
Reduction in inventory = $6 million - $ 2 million = $4 million Saving = $4 million x 25% = $4 million x 0.25 = $1 million
Inventory Fundamentals
Financial inventory performance measures: continues
Days of supply = Inventory on hand / average daily usage - Lower is better Example: Inventory on hand is 9,000 units and annual usage is 48,000 units, there are 240 days per year average daily usage = 48,000/240 = 200 units Days of supply = 9000 / 200 = 45 days
Inventory Fundamentals
Methods of evaluating inventory: (4)
1. FIFO
- In rising prices, replacement is at higher prices than assumed cost - Does not reflect current price - Replacement is understated in rising price Replacement is overstated in falling price
Inventory Fundamentals
Methods of evaluating inventory: (4)
1. FIFO 2. LIFO
- In rising prices, replacement is at current prices Reflect current price - Replacement is current in rising price Replacement is current in falling price
Inventory Fundamentals
Methods of evaluating inventory: (4)
1. FIFO 2. LIFO 3. Average cost
- An average of all the prices paid for the article Reflect average price - Replacement is average in rising price Replacement is average in falling price
4. Standard cost
Inventory Fundamentals
Methods of evaluating inventory: (4)
1. FIFO 2. LIFO 3. Average cost 4. Standard cost
- Cost is determined before production begins Cost = direct material + direct labor + overhead Any difference between the standard cost and actual cost is stated as variance
Inventory Fundamentals
ABC Inventory Control: Controlling individual items
- What is the importance of inventory item? How are they to be controlled? - How much should be ordered at one time? When should an order be placed?
Inventory Fundamentals
ABC inventory classification system
- Importance of an SKU - inventory item
$ value scarcity
- Level of control Pareto principle - 80-20 rule 1. A - 20% of items; 80% of $ value 2. B - 30% of items; 15% of $ value 3. C - 50% of items; 5% of $ value
Inventory Fundamentals
Steps in making an ABC analysis: (3)
1. Establish item characteristics
- $ value - scarcity
Inventory Fundamentals
Procedure for classifying by annual $ values: (5 steps)
1. Determine annual usage 2. Multiply annual usage by its cost; total annual $ usage 3. List items according to their annual $ usage 4. Calculate the cumulative annual $ usage and cumulative percentage of the items 5. Examine the annual usage distribution and group the items into A, B and C groups based on annual percentage usage
