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.
