Hospitals and Inventory Management

Control• Barcodes and computers keep track of 

every bottle of antibiotics and other supplies.

• Secure supply cabinets with thumbprint security technology

Management Analyze how much is spent on every type of illness and 

surgical procedure. Computers keep track of stock and automatically reorder 

from suppliers

Focus: Matching Supply with Demand

• Demand can vary and is unpredictable.

• Supply is inflexible and maybe costly.

• Demand < Supply  Stock may be perishable

• Demand > Supply  Customers may not want to wait

Who Cares About Inventory?

4

Acer reported its first‐ever quarterly loss yesterday. The Taiwanese PC maker suffered a net loss of 6.79 billion in Taiwanese dollars ($234.3 million)

Acer has been hit hard by overestimating demand for its PCs. It has lost $150 million to get rid of excess inventory.

What About a Shortage of Vaccine?

5

In 2006, Nintendo launched the Wii game console and could not make enough units to keep up with the demand.  Some people would wait in long lines to purchase scarce units and resell them online for several hundred dollars over the retail price

Reasons to Hold Inventory

• In‐transit Inventory

• Seasonal Inventory

• Cycle Inventory

• Decoupling Inventory/Buffers

• Safety Inventory

• Speculative Inventory

7

Reasons to Hold Less Inventory

• Inventory might become obsolete.

• Inventory might perish.

• Inventory might disappear.

• Inventory requires storage space and other overhead cost.

• Opportunity cost.

Inventory Costs

Holding or Carrying cost Overestimate the demandstorage cost: facility, handlingrisk cost: depreciation, pilferage, insuranceopportunity cost

Ordering costcost placing an order: preparing, negotiating, receiving and inspection

Shortage costs or Lost Sales Underestimate the demandcosts of canceling an order or penalty

Annual cost ≈ 20% to 40% of the inventory’s worth

Inventory Control Decisions

Fixed Order Period  P model

Fixed Order Quantity Q model

Ordering of general merchandise, supplies 

When to order?  Reorder point, order frequency

How many to order? Order quantity, target inventory level

Inventory Control under Demand Uncertainty

15

Place a new order whenever the inventory position drops to ROP (reorder point).

Reorder point =dL + safety stock

How to avoid possible stock out?

amount of inventory carried in addition to the expected demand, in order to avoid shortages when demand increases

RP is the review period. TIL is the target inventory level determined by the forecasts.

We place an order to bring the inventory level up to TIL.

ABC Classification

dollar usage=usage × costThere are other ways to do ABC classification. Review ABC classification periodically.

ABC Classification for Inventory Control

21

A  Q model

B  P model with R=1 week

C  P model with R=1 month

Single Period Inventory Model

• Only one production or procurement opportunity.

• Stochastic demand leads to lost sales or leftover.

• There are losses of profit and goodwill for each unsatisfied customer.

22

There is a salvage value for each unit of leftover.

Forecasting helps balancing cost of ordering too much vs. cost of ordering too little.

Case : Order Management at Sport Obermeyer

Klaus Obermeyer founded Obermeyer in 1947, when he was among the first ski instructors on Aspen Mountain. 

Customer service, marketing, design & research, accounting in Colorado Rockies.

Contract manufacturers in Hong Kong and China.

Long lead time, short sales period

Increasing product variety, more marked downs

Forecasting and Ordering at Sport Obermeyer

• Demands depend on weather, fashion trend, economy.

• Forecasts based on Panel Consensus.

• Dominant members have stronger influence on the outcome of a consensus forecast.

• Independent forecasts can provide an indicator of the forecast accuracy for each style.

24

Page 13: SM Managing Service Inventory 2015 - NKFUST

Working with Customers to Improve Forecasts

• Obermeyer invites key customers to place early orders (20% of total sales) to get market information.

• Forecasts are updated based on those early orders.

News Vendor Problem

D = boxes of donuts demanded Q = boxes of donuts stockedP = price of one box of donuts, $10 C = cost of one box of donuts, $4S = salvage value of one box, $2

Page 14: SM Managing Service Inventory 2015 - NKFUST

27

P = price of one box, $10 C = cost of one box, $4S = salvage value of one box, $2Cu = unit contribution: P‐C = $6 Co = unit loss: C‐S = $2

Finding Optimal Order Quantity

• F(Q) = probability of having leftover inventory

• To maximize expected profit, we order Q units so that the expected loss on the Qth unit equals the expected gain on the Qth unit:

• Rearrange the above equation ‐> 

• Cu / (Co+Cu) is called the critical ratio.

• Choose Q such that the probability of no lost sales (i.e., demand < Q) equals the critical ratio.

Retail Discounting Model

S = current selling price

D = discount price

P = profit margin on cost (% markup as decimal)

Y = average number of years to sell entire stock of “dogs” at current price (total years to clear stock divided by 2)

N = inventory turns (number of times stock turns in one year)

Loss per item = Gain from revenue
