stock of materials used to satisfy customer demand and support product of g/s
independent demand inventory
items ready to be sold or used
dependent demand items
unfinish goods such as RM or sub components
what can inv. do to cash flow from operation
inv. ↑ cash flow ↓
RM
(type of inv.)
materials use to produce goods
WIP
(type of inv.)
partially completed goods
finished goods
(type of inv.)
done and ready to be sold/ship
tools and supplies
(type of inv.)

functions of inv
- meet customer demand
- smooth production requirements
- de-couple operation
(2 & 3 allows company to not worry about fluctuating demands) - protect against out of stocks (w out it, sale ↓)
- take adv. of order cycle (w inv space, you can buy RM at the “right” time)
- price hedging (buying supply when price ↑ )
order cycles
right time to buy materials
- ex: sale
justification for large inv.
- level of customer service ( ↑ bc u have sufficient Q to sell)
- ordering cost (ordering large inv usually ↓ cost)
- setup cost
(large inv = less time required to setup things [production run time]) - labor and equip utilization ( ↑ 90% of time ↑ inv)
- transportation cost (large inv = less trips = ↓ cost)
- payment to suppliers (cost per unit ↓ allow for delayed payments)
- minimizes shortage costs (shortage $ ↓ inv ↑ )
ordering cost
cost that incurred to place an order
justification for small inv
- cost of capital (minimize it)
- storage n handling cost ( ↓ inv = less space required = ↓ cost)
- taxes ( ↓ storage $ ↓ tax)
- insurance ( ↓ inv = ↓ required insurance)
- shrinkage
- theft ( ↓ w less inv)
- obsolescence (↓ )
- deterioration (↓ since you are more likely to use inv before it goes PSL)

- ex: days or month
perpetual inventory system
inv is updated constantly
- ex: updated after every sale
one-bin system
monitor stock in a single bin and reorder when that bin is low

A - 20% of items 80% of value
B -
C - 50 of items 5-10 of value
economic order quantity
“How much to order”
order Q that minimize total annual inv holding and ordering costs
time between orders
