What is Inventory?
Integrated Production System I
Ø Inventory any idle goods or materials that are held for future use. ØStock of materials ØStored capacity
Ø Examples
Material and Inventory Management Chapter 12 ١

Why an organization carries inventories:
Types of Inventory ØRaw material ØComponents ØWork-in-process ØFinished goods ØMaintenance/repair/operating supply
٣
Ø It is rarely possible to forecast sales levels and production time accurately. Thus fluctuation inventories, most often called safety stock, are maintained in order to minimize the effect of such variation. Ø Many items have high seasonal demand; it might be impossible to produce enough quantity during a short selling season because of limit production capacity Ø To take advantage of economies of scales in production and purchasing such as quantity discounts, truck load discounts. Ø to maintain constant operation of manufacturing phase raw material and parts are required. Ø smooth running of machines spare parts for ٤ machines are needed.
Inventory Costs
Disadvantages of Inventory
ØOrdering costs - associated with costs of placing order and receiving goods e.g. Supplies; Forms; support; Etc.
• Higher costs – Item cost (if purchased) – Ordering (or setup) cost
processing;
Clerical
ØSetup costs - cost to prepare a machine or process for manufacturing an order e.g.
• Costs of forms, clerks’ wages etc.
Clean-up costs; Re-tooling costs; Adjustment costs; Etc.
– Holding (or carrying) cost • Capital, Building lease, insurance, taxes etc.
ØHolding costs - associated with holding or “carrying” inventory over time e.g.
• Difficult to control • Hides production problems
Obsolescence; Insurance; Extra-staffing; Interest; Pilferage; Damage; Warehousing; Etc. ٥

ØHow Much Should Be Ordered?
1 Run time: Job is at machine and being worked on 2 Setup time: Job is at the work station, and the work station is being "setup." 3 Queue time: Job is where it should be, but is not being processed because other work precedes it. 4 Move time: The time a job spends in transit 5 Wait time: When one process is finished, but the job is waiting to be moved to the next work area. 6 Other: "Just-in-case" inventory.

Classifying Items as ABC
• Divides on-hand inventory into 3 classes
Class A B C
% Annual $ Usage
– A class, B class, C class

• Basis is usually annual $ volume

– $ volume = Annual demand x Unit cost

Advantages of Cycle Counting
Cycle Counting
• Eliminates shutdown and interruption of production necessary for annual physical inventories • Eliminates annual inventory adjustments • Provides trained personnel to audit the accuracy of inventory • Allows the cause of errors to be identified and remedial action to be taken • Maintains accurate inventory records
• Physically counting a sample of total inventory on a regular basis • Used often with ABC classification – A items counted most often (e.g., daily)

Techniques for Controlling Service Inventory Include:
Inventory Models
• Good personnel selection, training, and discipline • Tight control of incoming shipments • Effective control of all goods leaving the facility
• Fixed order-quantity models – Economic order quantity – Production order quantity – Quantity discount

Why Order Costs Decrease
Deriving an EOQ
Cost is spread over more units
1. Develop an expression for setup or ordering costs 2. Develop an expression for holding cost 3. Set setup cost equal to holding cost 4. Solve the resulting equation for the best order quantity
Example: You need 1000 microwave ovens 1 Order (Postage $ 0.33)
1000 Orders (Postage $330)

The Reorder Point (ROP) Curve
• Answers how much to order and when to order • Allows partial receipt of material
Q* Slope = units/day = d Inventory level (units)
Production Order Quantity Model
– Other EOQ assumptions apply
ROP (Units)
• Suited for production environment – Material produced, used immediately – Provides production lot size
• Lower holding cost than EOQ model

Reasons for Variability in Production Most variability is caused by waste or by poor management. Specific causes include: qemployees, machines, and suppliers produce units that do not conform to standards, are late or are not the proper quantity qinaccurate engineering drawings or specifications qproduction personnel try to produce before drawings or specifications are complete qcustomer demands are unknown

Quantity Discount Schedule
• Answers how much to order & when to order • Allows quantity discounts – Reduced price when item is purchased in larger quantities – Other EOQ assumptions apply
• Trade-off is between lower price & increased holding cost ٣٣

Probabilistic Models • Answer how much & when to order • Allow demand to vary – Follows normal distribution – Other EOQ assumptions apply
• Consider service level & safety stock – Service level = 1 - Probability of stockout – Higher service level means more safety stock • More safety stock means higher ROP ٣٥
