Functions of Inventory

1. To meet anticipated demand: Anticipation stock – average demand


2. To smooth production requirements: Seasonal inventories
3. To decouple operations: Buffer inventories
4. To protect against stock-outs: Safety stock – uncertainty
5. To take advantage of order cycles: Cycle stock - batch

6. To help hedge against price increases

7. To permit operations: Work-in-process, pipeline inventories

8. To take advantage of quantity discounts

11-10 Inventory Management

Economic Order Quantity Models


• Economic order quantity model
• Economic production model
• Quantity discount model
11-11 Inventory Management

Assumptions of EOQ Model


• Only one product is involved
• Annual demand requirements known
• Demand is even throughout the year
• Lead time does not vary
• Each order is received in a single delivery
• There are no quantity discounts

Deriving the EOQ

Using calculus, we take the derivative of the


total cost function and set the derivative
(slope) equal to zero and solve for Q.

Minimum Total Cost

The total cost curve reaches its minimum


where the carrying and ordering costs are
equal.

If the true costs of stock holding are taken into account,
and if the cost of ordering (or changeover) is reduced,
the economic order quantity (EOQ) is much smaller

Key Terms Test
Inventory (also known as stock)
The stored accumulation of transformed resources in a process;
usually applies to material resources but may also be used for
inventories of information; inventories of customers (or
customers of customers) are usually called queues.

Buffer inventory
An inventory that compensates for unexpected fluctuations in
supply and demand; can also be called a safety inventory.

Cycle inventory
Inventory that occurs when one stage in a process cannot supply
all the items it produces simultaneously and so has to build up
inventory of one item while it processes the others.

Slack, Chambers and Johnston, Operations Management 5th Edition © Nigel Slack, Stuart Chambers, and Robert Johnston 2007
Key Terms Test
De-coupling inventory
The inventory that is used to allow work centres or
processes to operate relatively independently.

Anticipation inventory
Inventory that is accumulated to cope with expected
future demand or interruptions in supply.

Pipeline inventory
The inventory that exists because material cannot be
transported instantaneously.

Slack, Chambers and Johnston, Operations Management 5th Edition © Nigel Slack, Stuart Chambers, and Robert Johnston 2007
Key Terms Test
Work-in-process (WIP)
The number of units within a process waiting to be processed
further (also called work-in-progress).

Economic order quantity (EOQ)


The quantity of items to order that supposedly minimizes the total
cost of inventory management, derived from various formulae.

Economic batch quantity (EBQ)


The amount of items to be produced by a machine or process that
supposedly minimizes the costs associated with production and
inventory holding.

Slack, Chambers and Johnston, Operations Management 5th Edition © Nigel Slack, Stuart Chambers, and Robert Johnston 2007
Key Terms Test
Re-order point
The point in time at which more items are ordered, usually calculated
to ensure that inventory does not run out before the next batch of
inventory arrives.

Re-order level
The level of inventory at which more items are ordered, usually
calculated to ensure that inventory does not run out before the
next batch of inventory arrives.

Lead-time usage
The amount of inventory that will be used between ordering
replenishment and the inventory arriving, usually described by a
probability distribution to account for uncertainty in demand and
lead time.

Slack, Chambers and Johnston, Operations Management 5th Edition © Nigel Slack, Stuart Chambers, and Robert Johnston 2007
Key Terms Test
Continuous review
An approach to managing inventory that makes inventory-related
decisions when inventory reaches a particular level, as opposed
to periodic review.

Periodic review
An approach to making inventory decisions that defines points in
time for examining inventory levels and then makes decisions
accordingly, as opposed to continuous review.

Usage value
A term used in inventory control to indicate the quantity of items
used or sold multiplied by their value or price.

Slack, Chambers and Johnston, Operations Management 5th Edition © Nigel Slack, Stuart Chambers, and Robert Johnston 2007
Key Terms Test
Pareto law
A general law found to operate in many situations that indicates
that 20% of something causes 80% of something else, often
used in inventory management (20% of products produce 80%
of sales value) and improvement activities (20% of types of
problems produce 80% of disruption).

ABC inventory control


An approach to inventory control that classes inventory by its
usage value and varies the approach to managing it
accordingly.

Perpetual inventory principle


A principle used in inventory control that inventory records should
be automatically updated every time items are received or taken
out of stock.
