8. Demand Ordering System Demand ordering systems answers the question of when to place a replacement order at one time. Demand ordering systems answers the question of when to place a replacement order at one time. An order may be placed when needed or at a specific time ( e.g.every month) or when stock falls to a predetermined level. An order may be placed when needed or at a specific time ( e.g.every month) or when stock falls to a predetermined level.

Basic reorder systems Three basic systems are used to determine when to order Order point system Order point system periodic review system periodic review system material requirements planning. material requirements planning. The first two are for independent demand items, the last is for dependent demand items.

10. Order Point System When a quantity of an item onhand falls to a predetermined level, called an order point, an order is placed. The quantity ordered is usually precalculated and based on EOQ concepts. When a quantity of an item onhand falls to a predetermined level, called an order point, an order is placed. The quantity ordered is usually precalculated and based on EOQ concepts. The item is ordered when the quantity on hand falls to a level equal to the demand during the lead time plus the safety stock. The item is ordered when the quantity on hand falls to a level equal to the demand during the lead time plus the safety stock.

11. OP=DDLT+SS where OP= order point DDLT= demand during the lead time SS= safety stock.

12. Example Demand is 200 units a week, the lead time is three weeks, and safety stock is 300 units. Calculate the order point. Demand is 200 units a week, the lead time is three weeks, and safety stock is 300 units. Calculate the order point. Answer Answer OP= DDLT + SS =200x3+300 =200x3+300 =900 units =900 units

13. Determining Safety Stock Safety stock increases as the uncertainty increases Safety stock increases as the uncertainty increases Uncertainty is reflected in the deviation of actual demand from the forecast demand Uncertainty is reflected in the deviation of actual demand from the forecast demand The standard deviation Sigma is used to measure how closely the individual values cluster about the average The standard deviation Sigma is used to measure how closely the individual values cluster about the average

14. How to calculate Standard deviation (Sigma) Calculate the deviation for each period by subtracting the actual demand from the forecast demand Calculate the deviation for each period by subtracting the actual demand from the forecast demand Square each deviatiion Square each deviatiion Add the squares of the deviations Add the squares of the deviations Divide the value is step3 by the number of periods to determine the average of the squared deviations. Divide the value is step3 by the number of periods to determine the average of the squared deviations. Calculate the square root of the value calculated in step 4. This is the standard deviation. Calculate the square root of the value calculated in step 4. This is the standard deviation.

15. Example Given the data in the following table calculate the standard deviation (sigma) and use the answer to calculate the safety stock for an 84%(1 Sigma) service level. Given the data in the following table calculate the standard deviation (sigma) and use the answer to calculate the safety stock for an 84%(1 Sigma) service level. If a safety stock equal to two standard deviations is carried, calculate the safety stock and the order point if the demand during the lead time is 1000 units. If a safety stock equal to two standard deviations is carried, calculate the safety stock and the order point if the demand during the lead time is 1000 units.

17. Answer Average of the square deviation =380000/10=38000 Average of the square deviation =380000/10=38000 Sigma=square root of 38000=194.9=195 units Sigma=square root of 38000=194.9=195 units Safety stock if service level is 84%= 1Sigma=1x195=195 units Safety stock if service level is 84%= 1Sigma=1x195=195 units Order point=DDLT+SS Order point=DDLT+SS =1000+195=1195 =1000+195=1195 with this order point and level of safety stock on the average there are no stock outs 84% of the time when a stockout is possible with this order point and level of safety stock on the average there are no stock outs 84% of the time when a stockout is possible

18. Safety Stock and Service level Safety Stock is a calculated extra amount of stock carried and is generally used to protect against quantity uncertainty during the lead time. Safety Stock is a calculated extra amount of stock carried and is generally used to protect against quantity uncertainty during the lead time. The service level is a statement of the percentage of time there is no stock out when a stock out is possible. The service level is a statement of the percentage of time there is no stock out when a stock out is possible. The service level is directly related to the number of standard deviations provided as safety stock called ( safety factor) The service level is directly related to the number of standard deviations provided as safety stock called ( safety factor)

19. Table of safety factor

20. Example If the standard deviation is 200 units, what safety stock should be carried to provide a service level of 90%? If the expected demand during the lead time is 1500 units, what is the order point If the standard deviation is 200 units, what safety stock should be carried to provide a service level of 90%? If the expected demand during the lead time is 1500 units, what is the order point

21. Answer From the table of of safety factor, the safety factor for a service level of 90% is 1.28. Therefore, From the table of of safety factor, the safety factor for a service level of 90% is 1.28. Therefore, Safety stock= sigma x safety factor = 200x 1.28 = 200x 1.28 =256 =256 Order Point = DDLT+SS =1500+256 =1500+256 =1756 =1756

22. Periodic Review Using the periodic review system the quantity on hand of a particular item is determined at specified, fixed-time intervals,and an order is placed Using the periodic review system the quantity on hand of a particular item is determined at specified, fixed-time intervals,and an order is placed The review period is fixed and the order quantity is allowed to vary. The review period is fixed and the order quantity is allowed to vary. A maximum level of inventory is set that covers the demand during the review period and the safety stock this is the maximum inventory level. A maximum level of inventory is set that covers the demand during the review period and the safety stock this is the maximum inventory level. The quantity ordered will be this Maximum - the quantity on hand The quantity ordered will be this Maximum - the quantity on hand Q= M-q Q= M-q Q quantity ordered=M maximum inventory level- quantity on hand Q quantity ordered=M maximum inventory level- quantity on hand

23. Order Quantity for a Periodic Inventory System Example Q = d(t b + L) + z  d t b + L - I where d= average demand rate t b = the fixed time between orders L= lead time  d = standard deviation of demand z  d t b + L= safety stock z  d t b + L= safety stock I= inventory level
