Q

dual price sensitivity analysis

A

aka shadow price
isolate RHS values on constraints
tells how much profit can be earned by incresaing a resource
improve most sensitive element

16
Q

3 categories of inventory costs

A

ordering (setup) - costs to buy, incl. logisitics
shortage (stockout) - costs from not having enough
carrying (holding) - costs to store

17
Q

types of inventory accounts

A

raw/packaging - parts, raw ingredients, packaging
finished goods
work in process (WIP) - in between raw and finished
In Transit

18
Q

Inventory Turns

A
COGS/Average Inventory
# times inventory turns over in a year
19
Q

Inventory Days Coverage

A

(Average Inventory/Cost of Goods Sold) x 365
365/Inventory Turns
average number of days company had inventory before it’s sold

20
Q

ABC classification

A

practice for dealing with inventory complexity
A - fast movers
B - meduium movers
c - slow movers

21
Q

Factors used to determine how much to order and how often for items ordered from a supplier

A

Demand
Cost of item
Ordering costs
Holding costs

22
Q

Factors used to determine how much to order and how often for items ordered from a supplier

A

Demand
Setup
Rate of Production
Holding

23
Q

Annual Holding cost

A

Average Inventory Level x (holding cost/unit/year)

(EOQ/2)H

24
Q

Annual Ordering cost

A

Annual demand / order quantity*cost per order

(D/EOQ)*O

25
Q

Total Inventory Cost

A

holding cost + ordering cost

26
Q

EOQ

A

used to minimize inventory costs for purchased goods

27
Q

EPQ

A

used to minimize inventory costs for manufactured goods

28
Q

EOQ formula

A

sqrt((2DO)/H)
D - annual demand
O - cost to place order
H = annual holding cost

29
Q

EPQ formula

A

sqrt((2DSR/H(r-d))
S - Setup costs
R - rate of production
demand and production must be over same time frame

30
Q

production rate in relation to demand

A

production rate is greater

31
Q

assumptions of EOQ

A

product arrives complete

arrives promptly after being ordered

32
Q

assumptions of EOQ and EPQ

A

demand, holding, ordering, purchases costs known and constant

33
Q

ROP and lead time

A

Reoder point - when more inventory needs to be ordered

lead time - time between order placement and delivery

34
Q

total inventory costs formula

A

carrying + ordering + backorder costs

35
Q

risks of too much inventory from bulk discount buying

A

increased carrying costs
product obsolescence
shift in product demand

36
Q

formula for orders per year

A

Demand/EOQ

37
Q

formula for average inventory

A

EOQ/2

38
Q

formula for reorder point

A

demand per day * lead time
