Study Notes

Inventory Management

  • Inventory cost includes:
    • Cost of goods sold (CGS)
    • Inventory holding (carrying) costs
    • Ordering costs
    • Stockout costs
  • Inventory turnover (ratio) = Cost of goods sold / Average inventory at cost
  • Higher inventory turnover ratios are better

Inventory Costs

  • Ordering costs (transaction costs):
    • Direct variable costs for placing an order
    • Includes expenses incurred in placing and receiving orders from suppliers
    • Examples: order preparation, order transmittal, order receiving, and accounts payments
  • Inventory holding (carrying) costs:
    • Costs incurred for holding inventory in storage
    • Opportunity cost (including cost of capital)
    • Storage and warehouse management
    • Taxes and insurance
    • Obsolescence, spoilage, and shrinkage
    • Material handling, tracking, and management
  • Stockout costs:
    • Costs incurred when a company does not have inventory available to meet demand
    • Examples: lost sales, lost profit, and opportunity cost of having the production line shut down

Economic Order Quantity (EOQ)

  • The EOQ model determines the optimal order size to minimize total annual inventory costs
  • The model is based on the trade-off between annual order costs and annual inventory holding costs
  • The order size needs to minimize the sum of the annual order cost and the annual inventory holding cost
  • Order cost (set-up cost) is associated with placing an order
  • Holding cost (carrying cost) is the cost incurred for holding inventory in storage

Assumptions of the EOQ Model

  • Demand must be known and constant
  • Lead time is known and constant
  • The model is a quantitative decision model based on the trade-off between annual inventory holding costs and annual order costs

EOQ Formula

  • Total Annual Inventory Cost (TAIC) = APC + AHC + AOC
  • TAIC = (RC) + [(Q/2)(k*C)] + [(R/Q)*S]

Calculating EOQ

  • The optimum Q (EOQ) can be calculated using the formula: Q = √(2RS / kC)
  • The annual purchase cost does not affect the order decision if there is no quantity discount
  • The annual purchase cost is ignored in the EOQ model

Reorder Point (ROP)

  • The Statistical Reorder Point (ROP) refers to the lowest inventory level at which a new order must be placed to avoid a stockout
  • ROP = Average demand during the order's delivery lead time + Safety stock
  • In-stock probability is commonly referred to as the service level
