Supply Chain Management

Inventory Fundamentals

Inventory Fundamentals
Inventory = material + supply For sale

Input or supply to the production process Substantial part of total assets


20% to 60% of total assets on balance sheet When used value is converted into cash Improve cash flow and return on investment (ROI)

Inventory Fundamentals
Cost for carrying inventories
- Increase operation cost - Decrease profit

Inventory management is responsible for


- Planning inventory from raw material to customer - Controlling inventory from raw material to customer

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

Inventory Fundamentals
1. Inventory and flow of material:
Raw material
Purchased item not processed yet Supplier material Components Sub-assemblies

Work in process (WIP)


Raw material has been processed but not finished

Inventory Fundamentals

Distribution inventories
Finished goods in the distribution system

Inventory Fundamentals
Inventory & flow of material-Continues
MRO supplies used in production that do not become part of the products such as hand tools, spare parts, die, drill bit, etc.
Maintenance Repair Operational

Inventory Fundamentals
Inventory & flow of material-Continues
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

Buffer between finished goods and component availability

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;

Reduce transit time to reduce inventory and hence cost

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
Classification of inventory by function continues 5. Hedge inventory:
Commodities
- Mineral - Oil - Grain

Buy and wait to sell when price rises Buy at low cost, wait, sell on high price

Inventory Fundamentals
Classification of inventory by function continues 6. MROs inventory: Maintenance, repair and operation / over haul Support general operation and maintenance
- Spare parts Consumables Stationer

Inventory Fundamentals
3. Objective of inventory management:
A. Maximum customer service B. Low cost plant operation C. Minimum inventory investment Maximum customer service: Ability to satisfy customer needs Availability of items when needed and a measure of inventory management effectiveness

Inventory Fundamentals
3. Objective of inventory managementcontinues
Maximum customer service: Customers: who they are!
Purchaser Distributor Other plants Workstations

Inventory Fundamentals
3. Objective of inventory managementcontinues
Maximum customer service: Measurements of customer service
% of order shipped on schedule % of line item shipped on schedule Order days out of stock

Inventory help to maximize customer service by protecting against uncertainties Carry extra inventories to meet uncertain demand

Inventory Fundamentals
3. Objective of inventory management:- continues
Low cost plant operations (4 ways) I.Allow operation with different rates of production to operate separately and more economically II. Allow level production of seasonal items - inventories build up in nonpeak sale season

Inventory Fundamentals
3. Objective of inventory management:continues
Low cost plant operations (4 ways) II.Allow level production of seasonal items inventories build up in non-peak sale season, How?
Reduced overtimeReduced training cost Reduced training cost Lower capacity requirement Reduced subcontracting cost

Inventory Fundamentals
3. Objective of inventory management:continues
Low cost plant operations (4 ways) III. Allow longer production run Lower setup cost
Setup cost is fixed: one unit or 1000 units

Increase in capacity
less setup More run time Bottleneck operation

Inventory Fundamentals
3. Objective of inventory management:- continues
Low cost plant operations (4 ways) IV. Allow to purchase in larger quantities Lower ordering cost Quantity discount

Inventory Fundamentals
3. Objective of inventory management:continues
Inventories cost money, they must be balanced with
I. Customer service:
Low inventory - high stock out Lower level of customer service II.Cost in

changing production level


Excess equipment Overtime Hiring and layoff training

Inventory Fundamentals
3. Objective of inventory management:continues
Inventories cost money, they must be balanced with
III. Cost of placing order
Each order placed cost

IV. Transportation cost


Small quantity cost more per unit

Therefore, carry inventory if it cost less than not to carry

Inventory Fundamentals
Inventory costs: 1. Item cost
landed price
purchase cost cost to get it in plant
transportation custom duties insurance

Ordering cost Stock out cost Capacity associated costs

Inventory Fundamentals
Inventory costs:
1. 2. Item cost Carrying cost

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

Inventory Fundamentals
Inventory costs:
1. 2. 3. Item cost Carrying cost Ordering cost

4. Stock out cost


If demand during the lead time exceeds forecast we expect a stock out
9 Back order cost 9 Lost sale 9 Lost customer

5. Capacity associated costs

Inventory Fundamentals
1. Capacity associated costs: Example A company makes and sells a seasonal product. 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

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

2. LIFO 3. Average cost 4. Standard cost

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

3. Average cost 4. Standard cost

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

2. Classify items into groups

3. Apply a degree of control in proportion to importance

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

Inventory Fundamentals
