3. Content……. Introduction Type of inventory Inventory related costs Managing cycle stock Managing saftey stock Managing seasonal stock Analysing impact of supply chain redesign on the inventory Managing inventory for short life cycle products Multiple item, multiple location inventory management

4. Sector-wise Inventory Performance

5. Sector-wise Performance on Inventory Turnover Ratio in India

6. Types of Inventory Cycle Stock : Economies of scale Safety Stock Decoupling stocks Anticipation Stock –Seasonal Stock –Speculative Stock Pipeline Inventory Dead stock

7. Cycle Stock The inventory resulting from the production or purchase in batches is called cycle stocks.

8. Safety Stock Stocks which are maintained as a safeguard against uncertainties of demand and supply is called safety stock.

9. Decoupling Stock In most organization internal supply chain is divided into three decision units, materials, manufacturing and distributions which take care of the buy, make and deliver functions, respectively. Some organizations hold inventories at organizational as well as departmental boundaries, this is called decoupling stocks.

10. Anticipation Stock Anticipation inventories consists of stock accumulated in advance of expected peak in sales or that which takes care of some special event that does not occur on a regular basis. –Seasonal stock –Speculation stock

11. Pipeline Inventory Production and transportation activities take certain finite time, firms need to carry pipeline or in-transit stock. Pipeline inventory consists of materials actually being worked or being moved from one location to another in the chain

12. Dead stock Dead stock refers to that part of the no- moving inventory that is unlikely to be of any further use in supply chain operations or markets. Dead stock essentially includes items tat have become obsolete because of changes in customer taste, design or production processes.

13. Drivers of Inventory Type of InventoryDriver ( Logic) Cycle StockEconomies of Scale Safety StockUncertainty in demand & Supply Seasonal stockMismatch between demand and supply rate Speculation StockUncertainty in price of material Pipeline StockLead-time in production/transportation process Dead StockJudgmental error/ Change in economic or technological environment

14. Inventory Management: Key Decisions How much to order? When to order? Where to hold inventory? When to review? –Continuous review systems ( Fixed order quantity) –Periodic review systems

15. Inventory in Chain Supply chain consists of series of stock points connected by processes ( conversion processes and transportation processes) Each stock point has demand process and supply process Inventory at stock point : cycle stock, safety stock, seasonal stock Inventory within conversion and transportation processes: pipeline inventory

16. Inventory Management: Relevant Cost Ordering cost/setup cost Inventory carrying cost Stockout cost –Lost sale cost –Backorder cost

17. Ordering cost/setup cost It include all fixed cost associated with placing an order –Administration costs involved in placing the order –Transportation cost –Receiving cost

18. Inventory carrying cost It capture all the actual and opportunity costs that are incurred because of holding inventory –Financing cost –Storage and handing cost –Inventory risk

19. Stockout cost It captures the economical consequences of running out of stock –Lost sale cost –Backorder cost

20. Cycle-stock Inventory Fixed Order Quality Model ( Cont. Review Model) Q=Order Quantity, Reorder point= L*d Average cycle stock = Q/2

21. Optimal Order Quantity Trade-offs

22. Inventory Models: Cycle Stock __________ Q =  2 A D / i C A = Ordering Cost / Cost of setup D = Annual Demand i = Inventory carry cost C = cost of item Q= Optimum order quantity

23. Optimum Order Quantity Daily Demand = 100 Working days in year=300 Ordering cost = 256 Rs. Cost of item = 30 Rs. Inventory-carrying cost = 0.2 Rs./Rs./Year Supplier LT = 15 Days Optimum order Qty. = _______________________  (2*256*100*300/(30*0.20 ) = 1600 Average cycle stock= 0.5* 1600 = 800 units Reorder point= 15*100 =1500

24. Insight from cycle stock inventory model Fast vs. slow moving products Importance of volume Focus on reduction in ordering cost/set up cost

25. Safety Stock R= reorder point

26. Safety Stock Distribution of Demand During Lead Time

27. Basic Demand and Lead-time Data

28. Ordering Policy in Case of Demand and Supply Uncertainty Order quantity = Q* = Optimum order quantity Reorder point= D * L + K  Lead Time Demand K = Safety factor Safety stock= K  Lead Time Demand

29. Impact of Safety Factor on Service Level Safety factor (K) Service level 0 0.500 0.50.690 1.00.841 1.50.933 2.00.977 2.50.994 3.00.998

30. Impact of Service Level On Safety Stock

31. Safety Stock: Demand Uncertainty Only S.S = K  Lead Time Demand ______  Lead Time Demand =  L  D 2 D = average Demand,  D = S.D. of Demand, L = Lead-time, K = Safety Factor

32. Safety Stock : Demand and Supply Uncertainty S.S = K  Lead Time Demand ____________  Lead Time Demand =  L  D 2 + D 2  L 2 D = average Demand,  D = S.D. of Demand, L = Average Lead-time,  L = S.D. of Lead-time K = Safety Factor

33. Inventory Profile at Stock Point: Cycle Stock + Safety Stock Inventor y Time Average Inventory Cycle Inventory Safety Inventory

34. Inventory Management Cycle and Safety Stock Daily Demand: Mean = 100, SD = 30 Ordering cost = 256 Rs. Cost of item = 30 Rs. Inventory-carrying cost = 0.2 Rs./Year Supplier Performance Mean = 15 Days, SD = 5 Service Level = 98%

35. Service level is the probability that all orders will be filled from stock during the replenishment lead time or during the reorder cycle. This is also known as cycle service level

36. Impact of Change in Demand and Supply Parameters

37. Managing Seasonal Stock Capacity versus inventory tradeoff in seasonal demand/supply situation Two basic approaches in aggregate planning (Sales and operations Planning) –Chase Option : Produce as per demand –Level Option: produce at the same level –Mix approaches

39. Centralized Versus Decentralized Systems Inventory –Safety Stock –Cycle stock Service Level Overhead Costs Customer Lead Time Transportation Cost

40. Centralized Versus Decentralized Systems: Illustration Demand distribution at each region ( 16 regions) Daily Demand: Mean = 100, SD = 30 Ordering cost = 256 Rs. Cost of item = 30 Rs. Inventory Carrying cost = 0.2 Rs./Rs./Year Plant Lead time:= 15 Days ( No supply Uncertainty) Transportation: Decentralized- Rs. 1 per unit Centralized case: - 10% higher

41. Decentralised system –16 stock points Centralised system –1 stock point Cycle stock/stock point = Q*/2 8003200 Safety Stock per stock point 232928 Total Inv. in units for the system (232+800)  16 = 16512 928+3200 = 4128 Total Inv. carrying cost 16512  6 = 99072 4128  6 = 24768 Incremental Transportation cost 300  100  16  0. 1 =48,000

42. Inventory for Short life-cycle Products Short life cycle products is a special category of items where demand takes place during a sort period of item, and good are kept ready in stock to take care of demand. Two kinds of products –Style goods (fashion goods) –Perishable goods (news papers)

43. Newsboy model or Single Period Model Balancing cost of under-stocking versus cost of overstocking C U = Cost of under-stocking C O = Cost of overstocking Optimum service level = (C U *100/ (C U + C O ) Optimum Order size= Mean demand + K * Std. Dev. Demand K= optimum service level

44. Optimum Order for a New Music CD CD purchase price = Rs. 200 CD sales price = Rs. 300 CD sales price after first weeks = Rs. 62. Demand: Average 100 and Standard Deviation 30 -What is optimum order quantity -If manufacturer offers buyback scheme, would your decision change? -Cost of administering return- Rs. 53

45. Selective Inventory Control techniques ABC classification FSN Classification VED Classification

46. Class Percentage of items Percentage of Total sales Value A5-1555-75 B20-30 C55-755-15 ABC Classification

47. ABC categorization has been used with success in following areas: –Allocation of managerial time –Improvement efforts –Setting up of service levels –Stocking decision in the distribution system

48. ABC Classification: Kurlon Case 48
