Mastering Inventory Management: Enhancing Competitive Edge in Operations
This module delves into the vital components of inventory management within the framework of operations management. Students will explore various inventory functions, types, systems, and the significance of dependability in project management. The course employs concepts like JIT (Just-in-Time), cost analysis, and quality assurance methodologies, such as TQM and SQC. By the end, participants will be equipped to discuss inventory fundamentals, calculate inventory parameters, and apply different inventory systems effectively to optimize supply chain efficiency.

Learning Objectives At the end of this module, each student will be able to: • Discuss basic functions of inventory • Describe two basic inventory systems • Calculate inventory parameter values Module: Independent Inventory
1. Functions of Inventory • Anticipate customer demand • Decouple • Quantity discounts • Inflation • WIP • Delivery variation Module: Independent Inventory
Types of Inventory • Cycle inventory Module: Independent Inventory
Receive order Inventory depletion (demand rate) On-hand inventory (units) Average cycle inventory Q 2 Time 1 cycle Cycle Inventory Q Module: Independent Inventory
Types of Inventory • Cycle inventory • Safety Stock inventory • Anticipation inventory • Pipeline inventory Module: Independent Inventory
2. Inventory Systems • Fixed-order quantity models • Fixed-time period models Module: Independent Inventory
Q Fixed amount q Variable amount T Time between orders R Reorder level Basic System Comparison Low priced Less important “C” items High-priced Critical “A” items Module: Independent Inventory
Comparative Advantages Fixed-amount systems (Q systems) • Individualized review frequency • Quantity discounts • Lower safety stocks Fixed-period systems (P systems) • Convenient administration • Multiple items on single purchase order • Inventory known only at review period Module: Independent Inventory
Individual Cost Elements D Demand (annual) C Unit cost S Setup cost (manufactured item) Ordering cost (purchased item) H Holding cost (annual) i Holding rate (H = iC) Q Optimal low-cost amount to order Module: Independent Inventory
Inventory Cost Equations Total Annual Cost = DC + (Q/2)H + (D/Q)S Annual Purchase Cost: (DC) Annual Holding Cost: (Q/2)(H) Annual Ordering Cost: (D/Q)(S) Module: Independent Inventory
C O S T Total Cost TC* Holding Costs: (Q/2)(H) Item Cost: (DC) Ordering Costs: (D/Q)S Q* Order Quantity (Q) Economic Order Quantity Module: Independent Inventory
D S 2 Optimal Order Quantity = Q = H Fixed-Order Inventory Equations Total Annual Cost = DC + (Q/2)(H) + (D/Q)(S) R = dL D = Demand per year C = Unit cost S = Setup (order) cost per order H = Annual holding cost L = Lead time d = Average daily demand Module: Independent Inventory
Fixed-Order Model Example D = 21,900 C = $5 L = 6 days S = $10 H = $0.50 d = 60 units Total Annual Cost = DC + (Q/2)(H) + (D/Q)(S) = (21,900)(5) + (936/2)(.5) + (21,900/936)(10) = $109, 968 Module: Independent Inventory
Q = D S 2 H Fixed-Period Inventory Equations Total Annual Cost = DC + (Q/2)(H) + (D/Q)(S) q = quantity to be ordered T = time between orders I = current inventory amount D = Demand per year C = Unit cost S = Setup (order) cost per order H = Annual holding cost L = Lead time d = Average daily demand T = Q / D q = d(L + T) - I Module: Independent Inventory
Fixed-Period Model Example D = 21,900 C = $5 L = 6 days S = $10 H = $0.50 d = 60 units Module: Independent Inventory
