To many firms, inventory is considered as one of the most expensive and vital assets. ● In order to minimize costs, firms reduce inventory levels. However, this may lead to inventory shortages, called stock-outs, which can cause consumers’ dissatisfaction. Thus, firms must keep the equilibrium of low and high inventory levels. CLASSES OF INVENTORIES RAW MATERIALS INVENTORY WORK-IN-PROCESS INVENTORY It consists of purchased items or extracted materials to be used in the production of goods or products. It avoids delay of production in the event of a delay in shipment. It consists of partially finished goods around the plant that require additional work. The purpose of this inventory is to uncouple the various operations in the production process. FINISHED GOODS INVENTORY It consists of completely manufactured goods that are yet to be sold. The purpose of finished goods inventory is to separate the production and sales function SUPPLIES Theses materials regularly used by the company but do not form part of the finished goods sold. Though supplies are part of the firm’s inventory, this does not meet the general category of an inventory. IMPORTANCE OF INVENTORY MGMT 1 2 3 DECOUPLING FUNCTION STORING RESOURCES IRREGULAR SUPPLY AND DEMAND It separates manufacturing processes to avoid delays and inefficiencies. Stored inventory in between processes may act as a buffer in the event of a delay. It stores goods especially those that can only be gathered seasonally. This enables the firm to meet the demand regardless of the season. It helps firms decide regarding the quantity of products to be produced over a season. IMPORTANCE OF INVENTORY MGMT 4 QUANTITY DISCOUNTS Taking advantage of the incentive given by suppliers wherein the cost per unit of goods or materials is decreased when the firm purchases in bulk orders. 5 AVOIDING STOCK-OUTS AND SHORTAGES Enables the firm to consistently meet the demand of its customers. This will result to consumer satisfaction which is beneficial for the reputation of the firm. 02 MANAGING INVENTORIES Ways of Managing Inventories and Different Types of Inventory Costs Order Costs MANAGING INVENTORIES Monitoring the inventory level is not sole responsibility of the finance manager sdkd It also requires the concerted efforts of the differing viewpoints about appropriate inventory levels of a firm’s finance, marketing, manufacturing, and purchasing managers. DIFFERING VIEWPOINTS ABOUT INVENTORY LEVEL Financial Managers To ensure that the firm’s money is not being unwisely invested in excess resources. Manufacturing / Operating Managers Implement the production plan so that it results in the desired amount of finished goods of acceptable quality available on time at a low cost. Marketing Managers Ensure that all orders could be filled quickly, eliminating the need for backorders due to stockouts. Purchasing Manager Ensure that he or she must have on hand, in the correct quantities at the desired times and at a favorable price, WAYS IN MANAGING INVENTORIES: a. Monitoring inventories ratio b. Do not invest too much fund in an inventory whose price is volatile. c. Hedge d. Examine the degree of spoilage. e. Examine the quantity of the inventory with respect to sale f. Eliminate slow-moving inventory g. Watch out for the inventory risk associated with technology, fashion, and perishable products h. Forecast the price of the material needed. TYPES OF INVENTORY COSTS ORDERING COST CARRYING COST By careful analysis of these two variables, the firm can determine the optimal order size to minimize the total inventory costs. ORDERING COST ● Also known as purchase cost or set-up cost ● Order cost includes requisition price, any approval steps, cost to process receipt, incoming inspection, invoice processing, vendor payment, and in some cases, a portion of the inbound freight. ● It is important to understand that the aforementioned are cost associated with the frequency of the orders and not the quantities ordered. The Total Ordering Cost is computed as: Total ordering cost = Number of orders x OC *where OC = ordering cost per order ORDERING COST Example: Assume that the ordering cost every time an order is placed is $80. How much will the total ordering cost if the firm makes an order based on the following frequencies: a. b. c. 7 times a year 8 times a year 10 times a year Answers: a. b. c. 7 x $80 = $560 8 x $80 = $640 10 x $80 = $800 03 CARRYING COST ● ● Components of Carrying Cost Trade-off of the Carrying Cost and the Ordering cost DEFINITION CARRYING COST FORMULA Where: Q= quantity or the EOQ CC= carrying cost per unit COMPONENTS OF CARRYING COST INTEREST INSURANCE TAXES STORAGE COSTS If the firm has to borrow money to pay for the inventory, the interest rate will be part of the carrying cost. Since insurance cost is directly related to the total value of the inventory, it is included as part of the carrying cost. Any tax imposed in the purchase of inventory is added to its value. Mistakes in calculating storage costs are common in EOQ implementations. For the purpose of EOQ calculation, carrying costs should only include variable costs based on inventory levels. CARRYING COST vs. ORDER SIZE The graph shows that the carrying cost is directly proportional to the order size. As the number of units increases, the carrying cost also increases. TRADE-OFF OF THE CARRYING COST AND THE ORDERING COST As mentioned, the two inventory costs —carrying cost and ordering cost — have an inverse relationship. An order of large quantity increases the carrying cost but lowers the ordering cost. On the other hand, an order of less quantity decreases the carrying cost and increases the ordering cost. EOQ The graph shows that the point where the total carrying cost and total ordering cost meet. This is the point where the EOQ is located. 04 ECONOMIC ORDER QUANTITY Economic Order Quantity and Optimal Number of Orders ECONOMIC ORDER QUANTITY ● The Economic Order Quantity is the level of inventory that minimizes the total inventory carrying costs and ordering costs. The result is the most-effective quantity to order. ● Most organizations find EOQ beneficial in planning of an item to order and repetitive purchasing. Obvious application of EOQ are for purchase-to-stock distribution and make-to-order for manufacturers. ● Though EOQ is generally recommended in operations where demand is relatively steady, items with demand variability such as seasonality can still use the model by going for shorter time periods for the EOQ calculation, making sure that usage and carrying costs are based on the same time period. EOQ FORMULA Where: S = sales usage OC = ordering cost per order CC = carrying cost per unit EXAMPLE POQ Corporation needs to know Mercury is the closest planet when placing its the quantity to the Sun orders. The information is as follows: Units needed per unit = 500 units Costs per order = P40 Carrying cost per order = P4 Jupiter is a gas giant and the biggest planet OPTIMUM NUMBER OF ORDERS ● The optimum number of orders is the required number of times a firm orders in a given period. This is on the assumption that the inventory will be used at a constant rate throughout the period. ● The optimum number of orders is crucial in minimizing the total inventory cost of any order. COMPONENTS OF INVENTORY COST OPTIMUM NO. OF ORDERS = Usage per period / EOQ TOTAL INVENTORY COST = Total Carrying Cost + Total Ordering Cost TOTAL CARRYING COST = (EOQ/2) x CC TOTAL ORDERING COST = Optimum no. of orders x OC EXAMPLE Compute for the optimum number of orders and total inventory cost. The information is as follows: Units needed per year Costs per order Carrying cost per order = 500 units = P40 per order = P4 per unit Optimum number of orders = usage per period/EOQ = 500 / 100 =5 Total inventory Cost = Total Carrying Cost + Total Ordering Cost = [(EOQ/2) x CC] + (Optimum number of orders x OC) = [(100/2) x P4.00] + (5 x P40.00) = 200 + 200 = P 400.00 05 CARRYING/ORDERING COSTS RELATIONSHIP Carrying and Ordering Cost Relationship, Reorder Point, and Safety Stock CARRYING AND ORDERING COSTS The following table illustrates the inverse relationship between the carrying cost and ordering cost No. of times an order is placed Number of units per order Total Carrying Cost Total Ordering Cost Total Inventory Cost 1 500 1000.00 40.00 1,040.00 2 250 500.00 80.00 580.00 3 167 333.33 120.00 453.33 4 125 250.00 160.00 410.00 5 100 200.00 200.00 400.00 CARRYING AND ORDERING COSTS No. of times an order is placed Number of units per order Total Carrying Cost Total Ordering Cost Total Inventory Cost 5 100 200.00 200.00 400.00 6 83 166.67 240.00 406.67 7 71 142.86 280.00 422.86 8 63 125.00 320.00 445.00 9 56 111.11 360.00 471.11 10 50 100.00 400.00 500.00 It is only at the optimum number of orders of 5 that the total carrying cost and total ordering costs are equal. INVENTORY REPLENISHMENT The graph shows that with an ECQ of 100 units, orders should be placed every 2.4 months (12 months/5 optimum no. of orders) to fulfill the usage requirement. RE-ORDER POINT The re-order point (ROP) is the inventory level at which an order should be placed to replenish the inventory. It is computed by multiplying the lead time by the normal lead time usage. To determine the re-order point under certainty, the firm must identify the following: LEAD TIME - refers to the time it normally takes to receive the delivery of inventory after the order has been placed. LEAD TIME USAGE - refers to the number of units to be used during the lead time. RE-ORDER POINT EXAMPLE FLT placed an order on December 1. It normally receives the order after 9 days. If the company has a normal usage of 10 units per day, what is the re-order point: ANSWER: ROP = Lead Time x Lead Time Usage = 9 days x 10 units = 90 units for 9 days SAFETY STOCK To cushion the uncertainties during the lead time and lead time usage, an additional inventory must be on hand. Maintaining safety stock depends on the following: DEMAND LEAD TIME The higher the risk associated with the perceived demand in the inventory, the higher the safety stock to be required by the company. The higher the risk of not receiving the goods needed, the higher the risk of a stock-out. This case required a higher level of safety stock. COST OF STOCK-OUTS Stock-outs result in the inability of the firm to deliver the goods required. To avoid such, a safety stock is maintained. SAFETY STOCK EXAMPLE RE-ORDER POINT = (Lead Time x Usage per Day) + Safety Stock FLT placed an order to MAI and normally receives an order after 9 days. If the company has a normal usage of 10 units per day and requires a safety stock of 10 units, what is the reorder point? ANSWER: ROP = ( Lead Time x Usage per Day ) + Safety Stock = (9 days x 10 units) + 10 units = 100 units 06 DETERMINING SAFETY STOCK Maximum Usage Basis & Frequency Distribution Basis DETERMINING SAFETY STOCK MAXIMUM USAGE BASIS FORMULA Maximum usage during lead time Less: Normal usage during lead time Safety Stock XXX XXX XXX MAXIMUM USAGE BASIS ILLUSTRATION: FLT Corp. is frequently losing sales due to stock outs. To avoid this problem, the owner likes to implement a new system of maintaining an inventory level which all include a safety stock. After looking into the past records of the company, it was determined that the normal usage during lead time of 12 days is 120 units while the maximum usage is 150 units for 15 days. Based on the given information, what should be the safety stock of FLT Corp.? What is the Re-order Point (ROP)? Maximum usage during lead time Less: Normal usage during lead time Safety Stock 150 120 30 ROP = (lead time x lead time usage) + safety stock =120 + 30 = 150 FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION BASIS Based on the record of Dot Com, the normal usage is 100 units during lead time. The following historical data were obtained with their corresponding frequencies of occurrences. From the given information, determine the level of safety stock if the company likes to maintain a level of safety of 94%. USAGE DURING LEAD TIME FREQUENCY 60 7 70 16 80 22 100 24 120 18 140 7 160 4 180 2 RE-ORDER POINT FREQUENCY SAFETY% RISK% (100-SAFETY%) 60 7 7 93 70 16 7 + 16 = 23 77 80 22 23 + 22 = 45 55 100 24 45 + 24 = 69 31 120 18 69 + 18 = 87 13 140 7 87 + 7 = 94 6 160 4 94 + 4 = 98 2 180 2 98 + 2 = 100 0 FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION BASIS RE-ORDER POINT FREQUENCY SAFETY% RISK% 60 7 7 93 70 16 23 77 80 22 45 55 100 24 69 31 120 18 87 13 140 7 94 6 160 4 98 2 180 2 100 0 Based on the table, the safety stock is 40 units. It is obtained by looking at the safety percentage of 94% which corresponds to 140 units under the ROP less Dot Cm’s normal usage of 100 units. FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION BASIS 07 JIT AND LEAN PRODUCTION Just-In-Time Inventory and Lean Production JUST-IN-TIME INVENTORY Just-in-Time (JIT) inventory is a part of a total production concept that often interfaces with a total quality program. JUST-IN-TIME INVENTORY HISTORY - - ❖ Ford Motor Company Henry Ford’s My Life and Work (1922) Concept of “dock to factory floor” in which incoming materials are not even stored before going into production Freight Management System (FMS) ; Ford’s Today and Tomorrow (1962) ❖ Toyota Motor Corporation of Japan - Economic lot size is the number of identical products that should be produced, given the cost of changing the production process over to another product. - Single Minute Exchange of Die (SMED) JUST-IN-TIME INVENTORY BASIC REQUIREMENTS 1 Quality production that continually satisfies customer requirements. 2 Close ties between suppliers, manufacturers, and customers 3 Minimization of the level of inventory * Computerized ordering / inventory tracking systems are necessary for JIT to work LEAN PRODUCTION ➔ Lean production requires close cooperation with the vendors regarding the quality of the output and design-for-manufacture (DFM) issues to assure ease in manufacturing, quality, reliability, and ease of service which are built into the product from the design stage. ➔ Lean production requires close relationships with suppliers and customers. This way, they will have an open communication on their processes, quality levels and ways to reduce cost. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!
