2.1 Inventory and Supply chains
Inventory is the quantity of goods that is available on hand or in stock and consists of three
main formats: raw materials, work in progress and finished goods.
Why hold inventory?
To protect against uncertainty caused by variations
in demand or restrictions in supply.
Reduces costs by cutting on transportation costs
(decreases lead times).
To protect against quality defects and easily
substitute a faulty product.
Stabilizes manufacturing by keeping expensive
resources (e.g., technology resources) going for
good return on investments.
Anticipation stock which is demand driven rather
than supply driven.
Balances demand and supply.
2.1.1 Different types of inventory
Cycle or replenishment stock keeps the supply chain moving and is necessary to meet
the daily demand.
Safety stock buffers against forecast error and suppliers’ unreliability.
In-transit stock is stock in the process of being transported to a stocking or delivering
point.
Seasonal stock is built up in advance to meet increased sales volumes during a
particular time of the year (valentine’s day, easter, Christmas, etc.).
Promotional stock feeds into marketing campaigns and advertising.
