Inventory Management
The objective of inventory
management is to strike a balance
between inventory investment and
customer service
10/11/16
Importance of Inventory
1. One of the most expensive assets of
many companies representing as much
as 50% of total invested capital
2. Operations managers must balance
inventory investment and customer
service
10/11/16
Functions of Inventory
1. To provide a selection of goods for
anticipated demand and to separate
the firm from fluctuations in demand
2. To decouple or separate various parts
of the production process
3. To take advantage of quantity
discounts
4. To hedge against inflation
10/11/16
Types of Inventory
1. Raw material
Purchased but not processed
2. Work-in-process (WIP)
Undergone some change but not completed
A function of cycle time for a product
3. Maintenance/repair/operating (MRO)
Necessary to keep machinery and processes
productive
4. Finished goods
Completed product awaiting shipment

Managing Inventory
1. How inventory items can be classified
(ABC analysis)
2. How accurate inventory records can
be maintained (Cycle counting)
3. How to establish an effective control of
inventories
10/11/16
ABC Analysis
1. Divides inventory into three classes
based on annual dollar volume
Class A - high annual dollar volume
Class B - medium annual dollar volume
Class C - low annual dollar volume

Control of Inventories
1. Can be a critical component
of profitability
2. Losses may come from
shrinkage or pilferage
3. Applicable techniques include
i.
19
Inventory Models
1. Independent demand - the demand for
item is independent of the demand for
any other item in inventory; eg automobiles,
computers, etc.
20
Inventory Models
1. Holding costs - the costs of holding or
carrying inventory over time
2. Ordering costs - the costs of placing an
order and receiving goods
3. Setup costs - cost to prepare a machine
or process for manufacturing an order
May be highly correlated with setup time

Minimizing Costs
1. By minimizing the sum of setup (or ordering)
and holding costs, total costs are minimized
2. Optimal order size Q* will minimize total cost
3. A reduction in either cost reduces the total
cost
4. Optimal order quantity occurs when holding
cost and setup cost are equal

ROP Example
An apple distributor has a demand of 8,000 iPods per year. The firm operates a
250-day working year. On average, delivery of an order takes 3 working days. Find
RoP.
Demand per day, d
RoP = d L
= 32 units/day x 3 days
= 96 units.
i.e. When stock drops to 96, an order should be placed. And the order will arrive 3
days later just as the firms stock is depleted.

Just-In-Time (JIT)
Powerful strategy for improving operations
Materials arrive where they
are needed when they are
needed
Identifying problems and
driving out waste reduces
costs and variability and
improves throughput

JIT Inventory
Inventory is at the minimum level
necessary to keep operations running

Kanban
Kanban is the Japanese word for card
(signal or visible record)
The card is an authorization for the next
container of material to be produced
A sequence of kanbans
pulls material through
the process
Many different sorts of
signals are used, but
the system is still called
a kanban
10/11/16
88
Kanban
1. User removes a
standard sized
container
2. Signal is seen by

department as
authorization to

Advantages of Kanban
Allow only limited number of faulty or
delayed material
Problems are immediately evident
Puts downward pressure on bad
aspects of inventory
Standardized containers reduce
weight, disposal costs, wasted space
and labor

Lean Operations
Is about waste elimination
Broader than JIT in that it is externally
focused on the customer
Starts with understanding what the
customer wants
Optimize the entire process from the
customers perspective
10/11/16
92
Eliminate Waste
Waste is anything that does not add
value from the customer point of view
Storage, inspection, delay, waiting in
queues, and defective products do not
add value and are 100% waste
10/11/16
93
94
Eliminate Waste
Other resources such as energy, water,
and air are often wasted
Efficient, sustainable production
minimizes inputs, reduces waste
Traditional housekeeping has been
expanded to the 5Ss
10/11/16
95
The 5Ss
Sort/segregate when in doubt, throw it out
Simplify/straighten methods analysis tools
Shine/sweep clean daily
Standardize remove variations from
processes
Sustain/self-discipline review work and
recognize progress
Two additional Ss
Safety built in good practices
10/11/16

Lean Sustainability
Two sides of the same coin
Maximize resource use and economic

Focus on issues outside the immediate
firm
