Why Is Inventory Required?
Uncertainty in customer demand Shorter product lifecycles More competing products
Uncertainty in supplies Quality/Quantity/Costs
Delivery lead times Incentives for larger shipments

Inventory Costs Costs
Order cost: Product cost Transportation cost
Inventory holding cost, or inventory carrying cost: Property taxes, and insurance on inventories Maintenance costs Obsolescence cost Opportunity costs

GM’s production and distribution network 20,000 supplier plants 133 parts plants 31 assembly plants 11,000 dealers
Freight transportation costs: $4.1 billion (60% for material shipments)
GM inventory valued at $7.4 billion (70%WIP; Rest Finished Vehicles)
Decision tool to reduce: combined corporate cost of inventory and transportation.
26% annual cost reduction by adjusting: Shipment sizes (inventory policy) Routes (transportation strategy)

Model Description (Assumptions) D items per day: Constant demand rate Q items per order: Order quantities are fixed K, fixed setup cost, incurred every time the warehouse
places an order. h, inventory carrying cost accrued per unit held in
inventory per day that the unit is held. Lead time = 0
(the time that elapses between the placement of an order and its receipt)
Initial inventory = 0 Planning horizon is long (infinite).

Demand Uncertainty The forecast is always wrong
It is difficult to match supply and demand The longer the forecast horizon, the worse the
forecast It is even more difficult if one needs to predict
customer demand for a long period of time Aggregate forecasts are more accurate.
More difficult to predict customer demand for individual SKUs
Much easier to predict demand across all SKUs within one product family
![Page 19: 6290 Lec 2 Inventory Management](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020115/5524ac684a79599d488b4824/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Single Period: The Model
Short lifecycle products One ordering opportunity only Order quantity to be decided before demand
occurs Order Quantity > Demand => Dispose excess
inventory Order Quantity < Demand => Lose sales/profits
![Page 20: 6290 Lec 2 Inventory Management](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020115/5524ac684a79599d488b4824/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Single Period: The Approach Using historical data
identify a variety of demand scenarios determine probability each of these scenarios will
occur Given a specific inventory policy
determine the profit associated with a particular scenario
given a specific order quantity weight each scenario’s profit by the likelihood that it will
occur determine the average, or expected, profit for a particular
ordering quantity.
Order the quantity that maximizes the average profit.

Swimsuit: Single Period Model Example
Probabilistic forecast
![Page 22: 6290 Lec 2 Inventory Management](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020115/5524ac684a79599d488b4824/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Additional Information Fixed production cost: $100,000 Variable production cost per unit: $80. During the summer season, selling price: $125
per unit. Salvage value: Any swimsuit not sold during the
summer season is sold to a discount store for $20.
![Page 23: 6290 Lec 2 Inventory Management](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020115/5524ac684a79599d488b4824/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Two Scenarios Manufacturer produces 10,000 units while
demand ends at 12,000 swimsuits Profit = 125(10,000) - 80(10,000) - 100,000 = $350,000
Manufacturer produces 10,000 units while demand ends at 8,000 swimsuits Profit= 125(8,000) + 20(2,000) - 80(10,000) -100,000= $140,000
![Page 24: 6290 Lec 2 Inventory Management](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020115/5524ac684a79599d488b4824/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Probability of Profitability Scenarios with Production = 10,000 Units Probability of demand being 8000 units = 11%
Probability of profit of $140,000 = 11%
Probability of demand being 12000 units = 27% Probability of profit of $140,000 = 27%
Total profit = Weighted average of profit scenarios
![Page 25: 6290 Lec 2 Inventory Management](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020115/5524ac684a79599d488b4824/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Order Quantity that Maximizes Expected Profit
Average profit as a function of production quantity
![Page 26: 6290 Lec 2 Inventory Management](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020115/5524ac684a79599d488b4824/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
What Did We Optimized? Expected (average) Profit
![Page 27: 6290 Lec 2 Inventory Management](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020115/5524ac684a79599d488b4824/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Risk-Reward Tradeoffs Optimal production quantity maximizes average
profit is about 12,000 Producing 9,000 units or producing 16,000 units
will lead to about the same average profit of $294,000.
If we had to choose between producing 9,000 units and 16,000 units, which one should we choose?
![Page 28: 6290 Lec 2 Inventory Management](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020115/5524ac684a79599d488b4824/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Risk-Reward Tradeoffs

Risk-Reward Tradeoffs Production Quantity = 9000 units
Profit is: either $200,000 with probability of about 11 % or $305,000 with probability of about 89 %
Production quantity = 16,000 units. Distribution of profit is not symmetrical. Losses of $220,000 about 11% of the time Profits of at least $410,000 about 50% of the time
With the same average profit, increasing the production quantity: Increases the possible risk Increases the possible reward
![Page 30: 6290 Lec 2 Inventory Management](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020115/5524ac684a79599d488b4824/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Observations The optimal order quantity is not necessarily
equal to forecast, or average, demand. As the order quantity increases, average profit
typically increases until the production quantity reaches a certain value, after which the average profit starts decreasing.
Risk/Reward trade-off: As we increase the production quantity, both risk and reward increases.

What If the Manufacturer Has an Initial Inventory? Trade-off between:
Using on-hand inventory to meet demand and avoid paying fixed production cost: need sufficient inventory stock
Paying the fixed cost of production and not have as much inventory
![Page 33: 6290 Lec 2 Inventory Management](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020115/5524ac684a79599d488b4824/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Initial Inventory Solution
Profit and the impact of initial inventory
![Page 34: 6290 Lec 2 Inventory Management](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020115/5524ac684a79599d488b4824/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Manufacturer Initial Inventory = 5,000 If nothing is produced, average profit =
225,000 (from the figure) + 5,000 x 80 = 625,000
If the manufacturer decides to produce Production should increase inventory from 5,000 units
to 12,000 units. Average profit =
371,000 (from the figure) + 5,000 • 80 = 771,000
![Page 35: 6290 Lec 2 Inventory Management](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020115/5524ac684a79599d488b4824/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
No need to produce anything average profit > profit achieved if we produce to
increase inventory to 12,000 units If we produce, the most we can make on
average is a profit of $375,000. Same average profit with initial inventory of 8,500
units and not producing anything. If initial inventory < 8,500 units => produce to raise
the inventory level to 12,000 units. If initial inventory is at least 8,500 units, we should
not produce anything
Manufacturer Initial Inventory = 10,000

Multiple Order OpportunitiesTWO POLICIES Continuous review policy
inventory is reviewed continuously an order is placed when the inventory reaches a particular level
or reorder point. inventory can be continuously reviewed (computerized inventory
systems are used)
Periodic review policy inventory is reviewed at regular intervals appropriate quantity is ordered after each review. it is impossible or inconvenient to frequently review inventory
and place orders if necessary.
![Page 38: 6290 Lec 2 Inventory Management](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020115/5524ac684a79599d488b4824/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Continuous Review Policy: Model Daily demand is random and follows a normal
distribution. Every time the distributor places an order from the
manufacturer, the distributor pays a fixed cost, K, plus an amount proportional to the quantity ordered.
Inventory holding cost is charged per item per unit time. Inventory level is continuously reviewed, and if an order
is placed, the order arrives after the appropriate lead time.
If a customer order arrives when there is no inventory on hand to fill the order (i.e., when the distributor is stocked out), the order is lost.
The distributor specifies a required service level.
![Page 39: 6290 Lec 2 Inventory Management](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020115/5524ac684a79599d488b4824/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
AVG = Average daily demand faced by the distributor
STD = Standard deviation of daily demand faced by the distributor
L = Replenishment lead time from the supplier to the distributor in days
h = Cost of holding one unit of the product for one day at the distributor
α = service level. This implies that the probability of stocking out is 1 - α

Inventory level is reviewed periodically at regular intervals
An appropriate quantity is ordered after each review Two Cases:
Short Intervals (e.g. Daily) (s, S) policy
Longer Intervals (e.g. Weekly or Monthly) May make sense to always order after an inventory level review. Determine a target inventory level, the base-stock level During each review period, the inventory position is reviewed Order enough to raise the inventory position to the base-stock level.

Assume: distributor places an order for TVs every 3 weeks Lead time is 2 weeks Base-stock level needs to cover 5 weeks
Average demand = 44.58 x 5 = 222.9 Safety stock = Base-stock level = 223 + 136 = 359 Average inventory level =

Optimal inventory policy assumes a specific service level target.
What is the appropriate level of service? May be determined by the downstream customer
Retailer may require the supplier, to maintain a specific service level
Supplier will use that target to manage its own inventory Facility may have the flexibility to choose the
appropriate level of service

Service Level Optimization
Service level inventory versus inventory level as a function of lead time

Trade-Offs Everything else being equal:
the higher the service level, the higher the inventory level.
for the same inventory level, the longer the lead time to the facility, the lower the level of service provided by the facility.
the lower the inventory level, the higher the impact of a unit of inventory on service level and hence on expected profit

Retail Strategy Given a target service level across all products
determine service level for each SKU so as to maximize expected profit.
Everything else being equal, service level will be higher for products with: high profit margin high volume low variability short lead time

Target inventory level = 95% across all products.
Service level > 99% for many products with high profit margin, high volume and low variability.
Service level < 95% for products with low profit margin, low volume and high variability.
