Amazon.com
Amazon.com started as a virtual retailer no inventory, no warehouses, no overhead; just computers taking orders to be filled by others
Growth has forced Amazon.com to become a world leader in warehousing and inventory management
Department of Business Economics & Administration 12 7
Amazon.com
1. Each order is assigned by computer to the closest distribution center that has the product(s) 2. A flow meister at each distribution center assigns work crews 3. Lights indicate products that are to be picked and the light is reset 4. Items are placed in crates on a conveyor. Bar code scanners scan each item 15 times to virtually eliminate errors.
Department of Business Economics & Administration 12 8
Amazon.com
5. Crates arrive at central point where items are boxed and labeled with new bar code 6. Gift wrapping is done by hand at 30 packages per hour
7. Completed boxes are packed, taped, weighed and labeled before leaving warehouse in a truck 8. Order arrives at customer within a week
Inventory
One of the most expensive assets of many companies representing as much as 50% of total invested capital
Functions of Inventory
1. To decouple or separate various parts of the production process 2. To decouple the firm from fluctuations in demand and provide a stock of goods that will provide a selection for customers 3. To take advantage of quantity discounts 4. To hedge against inflation
Department of Business Economics & Administration 12 11
Work-in-process
Undergone some change but not completed A function of cycle time for a product
Maintenance/repair/operating (MRO)
Necessary to keep machinery and processes productive

Minimizing Costs
Objective is to minimize total costs
Curve for total cost of holding and setup Minimum total cost Annual cost Holding cost curve
Setup (or order) cost curve Optimal order quantity (Q*) Order quantity

Reorder Points
EOQ answers the how much question The reorder point (ROP) tells when to order
ROP =
=dxL
D d = Number of working days in a year
Department of Business Economics & Administration 12 23
Slope = units/day = d

Wheeled Coach
Largest manufacturer of ambulances in the world
International competitor
Wheeled Coach
Four Key Tasks
Material plan must meet both the requirements of the master schedule and the capabilities of the production facility Plan must be executed as designed Minimize inventory investment Maintain excellent record integrity
Department of Business Economics & Administration 12 40
Benefits of MRP
1. Better response to customer orders 2. Faster response to market changes
Dependent Demand
The demand for one item is related to the demand for another item Given a quantity for the end item, the demand for all parts and components can be calculated
In general, used whenever a schedule can be established for an item MRP is the common technique
Department of Business Economics & Administration 12 42
Dependent Demand
Effective use of dependent demand inventory models requires the following
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Master production schedule Specifications or bill of material Inventory availability Purchase orders outstanding Lead times
Department of Business Economics & Administration 12 43
Yes
Execute capacity plans Execute material plans

Bills of Material
List of components, ingredients, and materials needed to make product Provides product structure
Items above given level are called parents Items below given level are called children

Lead Times
The time required to purchase, produce, or assemble an item
For production the sum of the order, wait, move, setup, store, and run times For purchased items the time between the recognition of a need and the availability of the item for production

MRP Management
MRP is a dynamic system
Pegging links each item to its parent allowing effective analysis of changes
Department of Business Economics & Administration 12 55
MRP in Services
Some services or service items are directly linked to demand for other services These can be treated as dependent demand services or items
