PRODUCTIONS/OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT

How can it be that
mathematics, being after all a
product of human thought
independent of experience, is
so admirably adapted to the
objects of reality
Albert Einstein
Importance of Inventory
A typical hospital spends about 20% of its budget on medical,
surgical, and pharmaceutical supplies. For all hospitals it adds
up to $150 billion annually.
The average inventory in US economy about $1.13 trillion on
$9.66 trillion of sales. About $430 billion in manufacturing,
$230 billion in wholesaler, $411 billion in retail.
What happens when a company with a large Work In Process
(WIP) and Finished Goods (FG) inventory finds a market
demand shift to a new product? Two choices:
Fire-sell all WIP and FG inventories and then quickly
introduce the new product  Significant losses
Finish all WIP inventory and sell all output before introducing
the new product  Delay and reduced market response
time
Inventory Classified
Inputs inventory
– Raw materials and Parts
In-process inventory
– Parts and products that are being processed
– Parts and products to decouple operations (line balancing inventory).
– Parts and products to take advantage of Economies of Scale (batch
inventory).
Outputs inventory
– To meet anticipated customer demand (average inventory and safety
stock).
– To smooth production while meeting seasonal demand (seasonal
inventory).
– In transit to a final destination to fill the gap between production and
demand lead times (pipeline inventory).
Inventory
Poor inventory management hampers operations, diminishes
customer satisfaction, and increases operating costs.
A typical firm probably has tied in inventories about
– 30 percent of its Current Assets
– 90 percent of its Working Capital (Current Assets – Current
Liabilities)
Understocking; lost sales, dissatisfied customers.
Overstocking; tied up funds (financial costs), storage and safe
keeping (physical cost), change in customer preferences
(obsolescence cost).
Periodic Inventory [Counting] Systems
At the beginning of each period, the existing inventory level is
identified and the additional required volume to satisfy the
demand during the period is ordered.
The quantity of order is variable but the timing of order is fixed.
Re-Order Point (ROP) is defined in terms of time.
One-Bin System (Periodic)
Order Enough to Refill Bin
Physical count of items made at periodic intervals.
Disadvantage: no information on inventory between two counts.
Advantage: order for several items are made at the same time.
Perpetual Inventory Systems
When inventory reaches ROP an order of EOQ (Economic Order
Quantity) units is placed.
The quantity of order is fixed but the timing of order is variable.
ROP is defined in terms of quantity (inventory on hand).
Two-Bin System (Perpetual)
Order One Bin of Inventory
Full
Empty
Keeps track of removals from inventory continuously, thus
monitoring current levels of each item.
A point-of-sales (POS) system record items at the time of sale.

The Basic Inventory Model: Economic Order Quantity
Only one product
Demand is known and is constant throughout the year
Each order is received in a single delivery
Lead time does not vary
-Two costs
 Ordering Costs: Costs of ordering and receiving the order
 Holding or Carrying Costs: Cost to carry an item in
inventory for one year
Unit cost of product is not incorporated because we assume it is
fixed. It does not depends on the ordering policy.
The Basic Inventory Model
Annual demand for a product is 9600 units.
D = 9600
Annual carrying cost per unit of product is $16.
H = 16
Ordering cost per order is $75.
S = 75
a) How much should we order each time to minimize our
total cost?
b) How many times should we order?
c) What is the length of an order cycle (288 working
days/year)?
d) What is the total cost?
Do NOT worry if you do not get integer numbers.

EOQ

EOQ is at the intersection of the two costs.

Back to the Original Questions
Annual demand for a product is 9600 units.
D = 9600
Annual carrying cost per unit of product is $16.
H = 16
Ordering cost per order is $75.
S = 75
a) How much should we order each time to minimize
our total cost?
b) How many times should we order?
c) What is the length of an order cycle (288 working
days/year)?
d) What is the total cost?
What is the Optimal Order Quantity

How Many Times Should We Order?
Annual demand for a product is 9600 units.
D = 9600
Economic Order Quantity is 300 units.
EOQ = 300
Each time we order EOQ.
How many times should we order per year?
D/EOQ
9600/300 = 32
What is the Length of an Order Cycle?
Working Days = 288/year
9600 units are required for 288 days.
300 units is enough for how many days?
(300/9600)×(288) = 9 days
What is the Optimal Total Cost
The total cost of any policy is computed as:
TC  (Q / 2) H  ( D / Q ) S
The economic order quantity is 300.
TC  (300 / 2)16  (9600 / 300)75
TC  2400  2400
TC  4800
This is optimal policy that minimizes total cost.
Centura Health Hospital
Centura Health Hospital processes a demand of 31200 units of IV
starter kits each year (D=31200), and places an order of 6000 units
at a time (Q=6000). There is a cost of $130 each time an order is
placed (S = $130). Inventory carrying cost is $0.90 per unit per year
(H = $0.90). Assume 52 weeks per year.
What is the average inventory?
Average inventory = Q/2 = 6000/2 = 3000
What is the total annual carrying cost?
Carrying cost = H(Q/2) = 0.9×3000=2700
How many times do we order?
31200/6000 = 5.2
What is total annual ordering cost?
Total ordering cost = S(D/Q)
Ordering cost = 130(5.2) = $676
