Costs of inventories Costs not directly Costs directly related to related to the the production production Costs which are Indirect costs Direct costs independent of the output E.g: Holding (carrying) Fixed costs E.g: Fixed labor cost quantity costs (Warehouse and W/H management expenses, insurance) Variable E.g: utility cost E.g: Order (set up) costs, Cost change as costs Material cost the output quantity fluctuates Nguyen PhucLinh A.

FIFO –FEFO -LIFO FIFO / FEFO LIFO Definition - First in -First out/ First expired -First out - Last in –First out Suitable -Items with a specific expiration date, especially FMCG -Homogeneous products that don’t expire. E.g: Coal, wine and products -Products that can easily become obsolete such as fashion and Construction materials(bricks, sand, coal, stones,etc.). electronics Required WH -Loading and unloading aisles must be different -Same aisle for loadingand unloading Advantage -Reduce cost: product won’tstaying long in the WH reduce inventory -Accounting benefit:reduce taxes,fewer write-downs, etc. cost -Reduce warehouse hassles: With LIFO, the new batch of stock is -Reduce expired and obsolete inventory placed right on top of the old batch in the warehouse. The -Quality control: stock is rotated frequentlyCustomers are less likely technique requires less tracking and space for warehousing given to receive expired products. that stock rotation is not necessary. -Minimize inflation impact: As the cost of production is always on the rise, shipping out the older and less costly inventory can optimize the profit. Disadvantage -Warehouse space: requires huge storage space for loading and -Limitationin the types of products:only applies to certain product unloading frequently. categories that don’t lose value over time. -Product tracking: Need a WMS to keep track of products as they move in and out quickly. -Monitoringdifficulties: difficult to update the inventory constantly with thousands of SKUs in different locations, each with a particular expiration date. -Higher taxes: higher profits higher taxes. -Push-Back Racking -How does it work? | AR Racking Video -Live Pallet Racking (FIFO) -How does it work? | AR Racking https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lBkAkk6cDo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyCrrbzic8w Nguyen PhucLinh  B.
