Quantity Discounts
Reorder Point
Order Quantity for a Periodic Inventory
System
13-2
§
What Is Inventory?
Stock of items kept to meet future demand
Purpose of inventory management
how many units to order
when to order
13-3
§
Supply Chain Management
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 stoppages
13-4
§
Quality Management in the Supply Chain
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 QM
13-5
§
Types of Inventory
Raw materials
Purchased parts and supplies
Work-in-process (partially completed) products
(WIP)
Items being transported
Tools and equipment
13-6
§
Two Forms of Demand
Dependent
Demand for items used to produce final products
Tires for autos are a dependent demand item
Independent
Demand for items used by external customers
Cars, appliances, computers, and houses are examples
of independent demand inventory
13-7
§
Inventory Costs
Carrying cost
cost of holding an item in inventory
Ordering cost
cost of replenishing inventory
Shortage cost
temporary or permanent loss of sales when demand
cannot be met
13-8
§
Inventory Control Systems
Continuous system (fixed-order-quantity)
constant amount ordered when inventory declines to
predetermined level
Periodic system (fixed-time-period)
order placed for variable amount after fixed passage
of time
13-9

ABC Classification
Class A
5 – 15 % of units
70 – 80 % of value
Class B
30 % of units
15 % of value
Class C
50 – 60 % of units
5 – 10 % of value

Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) Models
EOQ
optimal order quantity that will minimize total inventory
costs
Basic EOQ model
Production quantity model
13-14
§
Assumptions of Basic EOQ Model
Demand is known with certainty and is constant
over time
No shortages are allowed
Lead time for the receipt of orders is constant
Order quantity is received all at once

Cc
Qopt =
2(150)(10,000)
(0.75)
Co = $150
Qopt = 2,000 gallons
Orders per year = D/Qopt
= 10,000/2,000
= 5 orders/year
D = 10,000 gallons

TCmin = $750 + $750 = $1,500
Order cycle time = 311 days/(D/Qopt)
= 311/5
= 62.2 store days
13-20
§
Production Quantity Model
Order is received gradually, as inventory is
simultaneously being depleted
AKA non-instantaneous receipt model
assumption that Q is received all at once is relaxed
p - daily rate at which an order is received over
time, a.k.a. production rate
d - daily rate at which inventory is demanded
