1 What is Inventory management
?
?
Inventory management is the process
of trading off the level of inventory
held to achieve high customer service
levels with the cost of holding
inventory, including capital tied up in
inventory, variable storage costs and
obsolescence.
The purpose of Inventory
Management:
◦
how many units to order
◦
when to order

Bullwhip effect
◦
demand information is distorted as it
moves away from the end-use
customer
◦
higher safety stock inventories to are
stored to compensate
Seasonal or cyclical demand
Inventory provides independence from
vendors
Take advantage of price discounts
Inventory provides independence
between stages and avoids work stop-

Customers usually perceive quality
service as availability of goods they
want when they want them
Inventory must be sufficient to provide
high-quality customer service in Total
