WHAT IS IPR?
WHAT IS IPR AND WHY USE IPR? What is IPR? Why IPR? IPR = Inventory Planning and Replenishment Functionality to manage part replenishment. Works with Order Policy Code B parts: Safety Stock Reorder Point Lot Size Next Order Date You ve always had the ability to enter values for safety stock, reorder point, and lot size. IFS Applications has had functionality to help you calculate those values using historical data. Didn t consider future demand. IFS Customer Summit 2011, Chicago
MAIN FEATURES OVERVIEW Definition: A solution for inventory replenishment using reorder levels IPR calculate values for: Safety Stock needed to absorb variation in demand or lead-time. Reorder Point the inventory level at which you need to create a replenishment order Lot Size the quantity to order when the reorder point is reached Next Order Date given the current stock level and forecast Reorder point Safety Stock Stock Next Order Date Expected Lead Time Receipt Time Lot Size IPR adds forecast info as an input to calculate these values.
TARGET GROUPS RECOMMENDATION Replenish Fulfill Supply Lead Time Delivery Lead Time IPR is a reorder point-based planning system. Planning of a part is independent of other parts. If the demand for a part depends almost entirely on other parts, MRP-based solutions work better. If a part has many sources of demand (>10), reorder point works fine even though all demand is dependent. The result of an inspection is just replenish/don t replenish the forecast is not distributed upstream as in an MRP system. Under which circumstances should IPR be deployed? Spare part logistics Distribution and trade Common components used in many bills of materials 9 2009 IFS
CLASSIFICATION
CLASSIFICATION ABC ANALYSIS Classification by turnover value ABC analysis Cumulative Value Distinguish the vital few from the trivial many. A small number of parts will correspond to a large portion of total value. The classification defines the operative and strategic focus. 100% 95% 80% A B C 75 200 1000 Cum. No of parts 11
CLASSIFICATION FREQUENCY ANALYSIS Classification based on history frequency The frequency will determine how difficult is to plan the parts Fast movers predictable demand and easy to forecast Slow movers unpredictable demand and low forecast accuracy The frequency class will help to decide the best forecasting and inventory planning method. It also supports strategic decisions about product range, supply model, etc. Demand FAST MOVER MEDIUM MOVER SLOW (NO) MOVER Average Demand Average Demand Average Demand Period 12
CLASSIFICATION ABC/FREQUENCY/LIFECYCLE STAGE This classification is grouped by lifecycle stages. The classification is done by site or asset class. Example: Spare parts at site 90 AF BF CF AM BM CM AS BS CS AF BF CF AF BF CF AM BM CM AM BM CM AS BS CS AS BS CS AF BF CF AM BM CM AS BS CS CS Today Expired Decline Mature Introduction Development Introduction Stage Duration Decline Inactivity Days Expired Inactivity Days 13
CLASSIFICATION PURPOSE The classification ABC/Frequency/Lifecycle is the foundation for the planning policies to be applied. Frequency Frequency Fast movers have high forecast accuracy and low variation Slow movers are impossible to forecast and intermittent ABC Class CF CM BF BM AF AM A-parts are important and need/justify a lot of attention C-parts are not important and should not require a lot of attention CS BS AS Lifecycle stage Mature parts have a reliable forecast New parts (Introduction) require a manual estimate Declining/Expired parts shall not be replenished Volume Value 14
CLASSIFICATION PROCESS Determines ABC Class Determines Frequency Class based on number of issues per year (or number of periods) and classification boundaries by site. Determines Lifecycle Stage based on days between issues and classification boundaries by company. A background job that can be scheduled. Stock 15 IFS Customer Summit 2011, Chicago

PLANNING POLICIES & PARAMETERS
DETERMINE PLANNING POLICIES PLANNING PARAMETERS The IPR calculates 4 planning parameters which are used to create replenishment proposals: Stock Lot size Safety Stock Reorder Point Next Order Date Reorder point Safety Stock Time Lot Size Next Order Date Receipt IPR offers a number of different methods to calculate these parameters Expected Lead Time 18
PLANNING PARAMETERS SET THE DEMAND MODEL In order to calculate the planning parameters it is necessary to have an estimate of future: Demand (Forecast) Expected demand variation (Demand forecast error) The Demand Model defined on Inventory Part will dictate what data to use to estimate the future. Forecast from IFS/Demand Planning Yearly prediction Manual entry History inventory transactions are used ADVICE: Use Forecast for: Mature Fast and Medium movers Important parts where a reliable forecast can be created manually Parts with trends, campaigns, seasonality etc. Use History for Mature Slow Movers 19
PLANNING PARAMETERS HOW TO DETERMINE LOT SIZE Manual manual entry of the lot size Stock Time Coverage the lot size is calculated to cover a number of days demand Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) A trade-off between inventory holding cost and ordering cost The result is dependent on Demand, Part Cost, Inventory Interest Rate, Ordering Cost ADVICE: Time coverage is a commonly used model it is easy to understand and communicate EOQ gives good results, but requires significant analysis to determine the right input parameters Lot Size Max Order Cover Time By using IFS/Demand Planning, the lot sizes will change dynamically with seasonality, trends, campaigns, etc. Time 20
PLANNING PARAMETERS HOW TO DETERMINE LOT SIZE Additional parameters that control the lot size: Stock Max Order Cover Time can be defined to limit the lot size when EOQ is used Durability Min, Max and Multiple Lot Size Lot Size Time Max Order Cover Time By using IFS/Demand Planning, the lot sizes will change dynamically with seasonality, trends, campaigns, etc. 21
PLANNING PARAMETERS HOW TO DETERMINE SAFETY STOCK Stock The purpose of a safety stock is to cover for uncertainty in demand quantity or supply lead time Manual manual entry of the safety stock Time Coverage the safety stock is calculated to cover a number of days demand Reorder point Safety Stock Next Order Date Expected Lead Time Receipt Time Lot Size Historical Uncertainty the safety stock is calculated using Standard deviation, Lead time, Service Rate [%], Lot Size Demand Forecast Demand Average Demand Mean Absolute Error rather than using historical standard deviation, the historical forecast error is used ADVICE: Mean Absolute Error will show good results for mature Fast and Medium Movers. Time Coverage is a robust and visual model Special models should be used for slow movers Period By using IFS/Demand Planning, the safety stock levels can be kept lower, as historical variation that originates from seasonality, trends, campaigns etc., is filtered. 22
PLANNING PARAMETERS HOW TO DETERMINE REORDER POINT The Reorder point is defined as either of: Manual manual entry of reorder point Stock Lead-time driven calculated as the demand during the lead time plus safety stock ROP In addition to this, a number of models are added to handle slow-moving parts (< 10 transactions per period): Demand LT Safety Stock Time Slow Movers Lifecycle Slow Movers Lead time Croston Lifecycle Croston Lead time Next Order Date Expected Lead Time Receipt 23

PLANNING PARAMETERS PLANNING HIERARCHY A number of parameters are needed in order to calculate the planning data Demand Model Safety Stock Model Lot Size Model Order Point Model Inventory Interest Rate Service Rate Ordering Cost Instead of defining these parameters for each part, they can be maintained in a planning hierarchy. 27 2009 IFS
PLANNING HIERARCHY Hierarchy is in place to define: Inventory interest Ordering cost Service rate Models Cover times Lower level hierarchical value overrides higher level value: Company Site ABC/Frequency/Lifecycle stage Asset Class Commodity Group Supplier Inventory Part 28 IFS Customer Summit 2011, Chicago
PLANNING HIERARCHY EXAMPLE Set parameters at different levels and they ll pass to the inventory parts. Example: company inventory interest rate = 15%... 29 IFS Customer Summit 2011, Chicago
PLANNING HIERARCHY EXAMPLE However, if a part belongs to Asset Class 20 or 40, the inventory interest rate is 12%. 30 IFS Customer Summit 2011, Chicago
PLANNING HIERARCHY Models and lot size cover times set for different combinations of ABC Class, Frequency, and Lifecycle Stage. 31 IFS Customer Summit 2011, Chicago

IFS DEMAND PLANNING
PLANNING PARAMETERS SET THE DEMAND MODEL In order to calculate the planning parameters it is necessary to have an estimate of future: Demand (Forecast) Expected demand variation (Demand forecast error) The Demand Model defined on Inventory Part will dictate what data to use to estimate the future. Forecast from IFS/Demand Planning Yearly prediction Manual entry History inventory transactions are used ADVICE: Use Forecast for: Mature Fast and Medium movers Important parts where a reliable forecast can be created manually Parts with trends, campaigns, seasonality etc. 43

IFS DEMAND PLANNING
IFS DEMAND PLANNING AND IPR When the Demand Model is Forecast, IFS Demand Planning is the source of estimates of future demand. Mature, fast-moving parts Other parts that can be manually forecast reliably. Parts with seasonality, campaigns, trends. Lot size and safety stock levels can be varied from period to period, based on changing demand: seasonality, campaigns, trends, events. 47 IFS Customer Summit 2011, Chicago
IFS DEMAND PLANNING AND IPR EXAMPLE A mature, fast-moving part with a forecast. Demand model for the part is Forecast; forecast has been used to determine values for safety stock, reorder point, lot size. Change the forecast to add an event or campaign. New values are calculated for safety stock, reorder point, lot size. 48 IFS Customer Summit 2011, Chicago

CALCULATION EXPLANATIONS
An analysis tool is available so you can see how IPR does its calculations. You can also simulate changes without having to update the database. And you can create graphs of the data used in the IPR calculations. IFS Customer Summit 2011, Chicago
The first tab shows the parameters used in the calculations and the policies selected. 55 IFS Customer Summit 2011, Chicago
The second tab shows the values calculated for all the planning parameters. Column C can be used to perform simulations. For example 56 IFS Customer Summit 2011, Chicago
Change the order cost from 10,000 to 20,000. 57 IFS Customer Summit 2011, Chicago Since the Lot Size model is EOQ, there should be a change in the Lot Size. Lot size changes from 9,943 to 14,062.
Change the safety stock time coverage from 5 to 10. Since the Safety Stock model is Time Coverage, there should be a change in the Safety Stock. Safety stock changes from 8,459 to 16.919. 58 IFS Customer Summit 2011, Chicago
