INVENTORY

MANAGEMENT

Dr. Fatme Makssoud


What is inventory?
A physical resource that a
firm holds in stock with the
intent of selling it or
transforming it into a more
valuable state.

Purpose of inventory
management
• How many units to order?
• when to order? discount
Types of Inventories
Raw materials – Basic inputs that are converted into finished product through the manufacturing
process

Purchased parts and supplies

Finished Goods -Completely manufactured products ready for sale

Work-in-process – Semi-manufactured products needs some works before they become finished goods
Two Forms of Demand

Dependent Independent
(not used by customer directly) • Demand for items used by
• Demand for items used to external customers
produce final products • Cars, computers, and
• Tires stored at a plant are houses are examples of
an example of a dependent independent demand
demand item inventory
MRP (Material Requirements Planning)
• Describe the inputs and outputs to an MRP system, the
steps of MRP and execute the MRP process
• Discuss different lot sizing rules.
• Lot-for-lot ordering policy (L4L), need 5 order 5
• Minimum order quantities
• Maximum order quantities
• Multiple order quantities
• Economic order quantity (EOQ)
• ReOrder Point (ROP)
• Periodic order quantity (POQ)
MRP Inputs and Outputs

• Inputs
• Master production schedule
• Product structure file
• Item master file
• Outputs
• Planned order releases
• Work orders
• Purchase orders
• Rescheduling notices

B. Product Structure
Product Structure Tree/diagram

Bill of material (BOM): a list of all the materials, parts, and assemblies that make up a
product, including quantities, parent–component relationships, and order of assembly.
C. Item Master (Inventory) File
• Contains all information about the item; on-hand quantity, ordered quantities,
lot size, safety stock, lead time, inventory policy, …

MRP Processes
A. Exploding the MPS (Master Production Schedule)
B. Netting out the inventory
• the process of subtracting on-hand quantities and
scheduled receipts from gross requirements to produce
net requirements
C. Lot sizing
• determining the quantities in which items are made or
purchased
D. Time-phasing
• Time-shifting according to lead time (the time between receiving
an order to deliver the goods or services to a customer).

Lot Sizing in MRP Systems
• Lot-for-lot ordering policy (L4L), need 5 order 5
• Minimum order quantities
• Maximum order quantities
• Multiple order quantities
• Economic order quantity (EOQ)
• ReOrder Point (ROP)
• Periodic order quantity (POQ)
EOQ (Economic order quantity )
• The EOQ (Economic order quantity ) : the optimal order quantity Q
that will minimize the sum of carrying costs and ordering costs (total
inventory costs),

EOQ =
ROP (ReOrder Point)
• ROP : The level of inventory at which a new order should be placed
• The reorder point for the basic EOQ model with constant demand
and a constant lead time to receive an order is equal to the amount
demanded during the lead time, R = dL
where
• d : demand rate per period (e.g., daily)
• L : lead time
POQ (Periodic Order Quantity)
The POQ (Periodic Order Quantity) was created as a variation
of the EOQ more suited to variable demand.
• POQ is calculated by dividing the EOQ by average demand
POQ = Q/average D
• It represents the number of demand periods covered by
each order.
ReOrder Point

• The Lifetime sports company is open 311 days per year. If annual
demand of the manufactured product is 10,000 units and the lead
time to receive an order is 10 days, determine the ReOrder Point for
the manufacturing.
• R = dL = (10,000 /311) * (10) = 321,54 units,
• When the inventory level falls to approximately 321 units, a new
order is placed.
Problem 1
Semans is a manufacturer that produces bracket assemblies. Demand for bracket assemblies (X) is 130 units. The following is the BOM in indented form: (We are
not given any lead time)

Problem 3
One unit of A is made of three units of B, one unit of C, and two units of D. B is composed of two units of E and one unit of D. C is made of one unit of B
and two units of E. E is made of one unit of F.
Items B, C, E, and F have one-week lead times; A and D have lead times of two weeks.
Assume that lot-for-lot (L4L) lot sizing is used for Items A, B, and F; Multiply lot of size 50, 50, and 200 are used for Items C, D, and E, respectively. Items
C, E, and F have on-hand (beginning) inventories of 10, 50, and 150, respectively; all other items have zero beginning inventory. We are scheduled to
receive 10 units of A in Week 2, 50 units of E in Week 1, and also 50 units of F in Week 1. There are no other scheduled receipts. If 30 units of A are
required in Week 8, use the low-level-coded bill of materials to find the necessary planned order releases for all components. Note: To simplify data
handling to include the receipt of orders that have actually been placed in previous periods,
the following six-level scheme can be used. (A number of different techniques are used in practice, but the important issue is to keep track of what is on
hand, what is expected to arrive, what is needed, and what size orders should be placed.)
Develop an MRP planning schedule showing gross and net requirements and order release and order receipt
dates. (Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required.)

Problem 4
One unit of A is composed of two units of B and three units of C. Each B is composed of one unit of F. C is made of one unit of D, one unit of E, and
two units of F. Items A, B, C, and D have 20, 50, 60, and 25 units of on-hand inventory. Items A, B, and C use lot-for-lot (L4L) as their lot-sizing
technique, while D, E, and F require multiples of 50, 100, and 100, respectively, to be purchased. B has scheduled receipts of 30 units in Period 1. No
other scheduled receipts exist. Lead times are one period for Items A, B, and D, and two periods for Items C, E, and F. Gross requirements for A are
20 units in Period 1, 20 units in Period 2, 60 units in Period 6, and 50 units in Period 8.
Note: To simplify data handling to include the receipt of orders that have actually been placed in previous periods, the following six-level scheme
can be used. (A number of different techniques are used in practice, but the important issue is to keep track of what is on hand, what is expected to
arrive, what is needed, and what size orders should be placed.)
Find the planned order releases for all items. (Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required.)
