Inventory management
How many units should be ordered
Units can be ordered using economic order quantity (EOQ)
It is a function of demand carrying costs and ordering costs
Economic order quantity
It is a deterministic model that calculates the ideal order quantity given specified demand ordering or setup cost and carrying cost
Economic order quantity model
It is the quantity to be ordered which minimizes the sum of ordering cost and carrying cost
EOQ
This will decrease together with the order size
Ordering costs
This will increase together with order size
carrying costs
The two parts of ordering cost
Transportation and administrative costs of purchasing and costs of receiving and inspecting goods
Four parts of carrying cost
Storage cost
interest cost
spoilage
insurance
Assumptions under the economic order quantity model
…..
The formula of economic order quantity
Formula of computing ordering cost
Formula of computing carrying cost
When should the units be ordered
It can be ordered using the reorder point
The objective of knowing this is to prevent stockout problems
Reorder point
The period between the time the order is placed and received
Lead time
Normal lead time multiplied to the average usage
Normal lead time usage
(maximum lead time - normal lead time) *average usage
Safety stock
Reorder point who depend
If no safety stock
- Reorder point = normal lead time usage
If with safety stock
-safety stock + normal lead time usage
The primary sources of funds
bank loans
credit from suppliers (accounts payable)
accrued liabilities
long-term debt
common equity
