1 Managing Facilitating Goods Dr. Shuguang Liu Managing Facilitating Goods Replenishment Replenishment Replenishment Customer Factory Wholesaler Distributor Retailer Customer Production Shipping Shipping Item Withdrawn Wholesaler Distributor Retailer Learning Objectives Describe the functions and costs of an inventory system. Determine the quantity. Conduct an ABC analysis of inventory items. Determine the quantity for the singleperiod inventory case. Describe the rationale behind the retail discounting model. Role of in Services Decoupling inventories Seasonal inventories Speculative inventories Cyclical inventories In-transit inventories Safety stocks Considerations in Systems Type of customer demand Planning time horizon Replenishment lead time Constraints and relevant costs Relevant Costs Ordering costs Receiving and inspections costs olding or carrying costs Shortage costs 1

2 Management uestions What should be the quantity ()? When should an be placed, called a re point (ROP)? ow much safety stock (SS) should be maintained? Models Economic Order uantity () Special Models! With uantity Discounts! Planned Shortages Demand Uncertainty - Safety Stocks Control Systems! Continuous-Review (,r)! Periodic-Review (-up-to) Single Period Model Levels For Model Units on and D Annual Costs For Model Annual Cost, $ Order uantity, olding Cost Ordering Cost Total Cost Formula Notation D = demand in units per year = holding cost in dollars/unit/year S = cost of placing an in dollars = quantity in units Total Annual Cost for Purchase Lots TCp = S( D / ) + ( / 2) DS Annual Costs for uantity Discount Model = Order quantity, Annual Cost, $ 22, C = $2. C = $19.5 C = $

3 Levels For Planned Shortages Model -K -K T1 T T2 TIME Formulas for Special Models uantity Discount Total Cost Model TC = CD + S ( qd D / ) + I ( C / 2) Model with Planned Shortages 2 2 D ( K ) K TC b = S + + B 2 2 * = + B B * * K = + B Values for * and K* as A Function of Back Cost B B < B < B * K* Levels + B B undefined * + B * Demand During Lead Example σ = 15. u=3 σ = 15. σ = u=3 u=3 u=3 Four Days Lead σ =15. = d L =12 σ L =3 s s ROP Demand During Lead time Safety Stock (SS) Demand During Lead (LT) has Normal Distribution with - Mean( d ) = µ ( LT) L - Std. Dev.( σ L ) = σ LT SS with r% service level SS = zrσ LT Re Point ROP = SS + d L Continuous Review System (,r) Re point, ROP on hand Average lead time usage, d L Safety stock, SS Amount used during first lead time d 1 First lead time, LT 1 Order quantity, d 2 d 3 LT 2 LT 3 Order 1 placed Order 2 placed Order 3 placed Shipment 1 received Shipment 2 received Shipment 3 received 3
