Buffer Stock We need it so we won’t loose sales, complementary sales, and customers Buffer stock is dependent on: -Forecast interval variance (Forecast interval = lead time + review time) -Variation in Demand (actual demand - forecasted demand) -Time to Get Product from Supplier -Time to Get Product from Distribution Center - Product availability requested of IM systems
PPT 13-12
Forecasting Demand Forecasting -- extrapolating the past into future using statistical and mathematical methods Objectives: – Ignore random fluctuations in demand – But be responsive to real change

Order Point • Order point = the point at which inventory available should not go below or else we will run out of stock before the next order arrives. • Assume Lead time = 0, Order point = 0 • Assume Lead time = 3 weeks, review time = 1 week, demand = 100 units per week • Order point = demand (lead time + review time) + buffer stock • Order point = 100 (3+1) = 400 PPT 13-15
Order Point continued • Assume Buffer stock = 50 units, then • Order point = 100 (3+1) + 50 = 450 • We will order something when order point gets below 450 units.
PPT 13-16
Calculating the Order Point
Order Point = (Demand/Day) x (Lead Time +Review Time) + Backup Stock 167 units = (7 units x (14 + 7 days) + 20 units So Buyer Places Order When Inventory in Stock Drops Below 167 units PPT 13-17
Merchandise Budget Plan • Plan for the financial aspects of a merchandise category • Specifies how much money can be spent each month to achieve the sales, margin, inventory turnover, and GMROI objectives. • Not a complete buying plan--doesn’t indicate what specific SKUs to buy or in what quantities.
PPT 13-18
Six-Month Merchandise Budget Plan for Men’s Tailored Suits
PPT 13-19
Steps in Preparing Plan • Forecast Six Month Sales for Category • Breakdown Total Sales Forecast into Forecast for each Month (lines 1, 2) • Plan Reductions for Each Month (lines 3, 4) • Determine Beginning of the Month (BOM) Stock to Sales Ratio (line 5) • Calculate BOM Inventory (line 6) • Calculate EOM Inventory (line 7) • Calculate Monthly Additions to Stock (line 8) PPT 13-20
Open to Buy • Monitors Merchandise Flow • Determines How Much Was Spent and How Much is Left to Spend
PPT 13-21
Six Month Open to Buy
PPT 13-22
Open-to-buy for Past Periods
• Projected EOM stock = actual EOM stock • Open-to-buy = 0 • There is no point in buying merchandise for a month that is already over.
PPT 13-23
Open-to-Buy for Current Period (I) • Projected EOM stock = • Actual BOM stock • + Actual monthly additions to stock (what was actually received) • + Actual on order (what is on order for the month) • - Plan monthly sales • - Plan reductions for the month PPT 13-24
Open-to-Buy for Current Period (II) • Open-to-buy = • Planned EOM stock (from merchandise budget plan) – Projected EOM stock (based on what is really happening)

Retail Inventory Method (RIM) Two Objectives: – To maintain a perpetual or book inventory of retail dollar amounts. – To maintain records that make it possible to determine the cost value of the inventory at any time without taking a physical inventory.
PPT 13-35
Advantages of RIM • The retailer doesn't have to “cost” each time. • Follows the accepted accounting practice of valuing assets at cost or market, whichever is lower.
PPT 13-36
Advantages of RIM cont’d • Amounts and percentages of initial markups, additional markups, markdowns, and shrinkage can be compared with historical records or industry norms. • Useful for determining shrinkage. • Can be used in an insurance claim case of a loss.
PPT 13-37
Disadvantages of RIM
• System that uses average markup. • Record keeping process involved is burdensome.
PPT 13-38
Steps in RIM Calculate Total Merchandise Handled at Cost and Retail Calculate Retail Reductions Calculate Cumulative Markup and Cost Multiplier Determine Book Inventory at Cost and Retail
PPT 13-39
Retail Inventory Method Cumulative Markon = (total retail - total cost) / total retail: ($290,000 - $160,000) / $290,000 = 44.8%
The Cost Multiplier = cumulative markon (100% - cumulative markon%) = 55.2%
PPT 13-40
Ending book inventory at retail
= total goods handled at retail - total reductions: $290,000 - $208,000 = $82,000
Ending book inventory at cost
= ending book inventory at retail x cost multiplier: $82,000 x 55.2% = 45,264
