Course introduction
Why Inventory Management? For businesses.
- Walmart in 2013 $3 billion loss
o Misplaced goods
- Target in 2015 $2 billion loss
o Stock-outs
Why Inventory
Management? For you.
Why Inventories?
- To meet demand (at minimum cost)
- Definition of inventory = basically stuff that you store somewhere.
Factors leading to inventories
- Economies of scale
o Procurement and transportation
- Uncertainty
o Demand, supply
- Capacity limitations in supply
o Production, seasonality
Fundamental decisions
- When should an order be placed?
- How much should be ordered?
Modelling inventories
Systems Models Policies Decisions
System: is the simple description
Model: what goes on over time?
Policies: How to make the decisions to answer how and when place an order?
Decisions: use of models and policies
Plans are worthless, but planning is everything.
D. D. Eisenhower
Organization of the course
- Manual first!
- Let us know if there is anything that is not clear.
Course objectives:
1. Analyze inventory management practices
2. Apply inventory control models
3. Design procedures to improve inventory management in practice.
, Teaching
- Lectures
o Theoretical background, modelling and analyzing inventory systems
- Computer practical and tutorials
o Computational methods, problem-solving sessions
- Course booklet
o Exercises and worked solutions
- Computational tracks
o Programming with Python
o Spreadsheet with Excel
Assessment
- Individual assignment
o Refresher for modelling skills
- Group assignment
o Two subsequent parts
o System analysis, computational methods, policy design
- Exam
o Theoretical background
o Implementation and interpretation and on simple computations
Concepts
Modelling inventories
Systems Models Policies Decisions
Inventory systems
- The context in which inventory decisions are made
- Can be quite specific (e.g. planning horizon, demand and supply characteristics, capacity
limitations, objectives)
Components of inventory systems
- Planning horizon
o One-off, finite, infinite
- Inventory review
o Periodic, continuous
- Demand
o Deterministic, stochastic, time-invariant, time-variant
- Lead time
o Instantaneous, non-instantaneous
- Capacity
o Limited supply / inventory
Components of inventory systems
- Service discipline
o Backorders, lost sales
- Service quality
o Ready rate (think of it time what inventory to delivery 90% of the times = time),
o fill rate (drop time, I satisfy 85% of the consumers, only 15% of consumers have to
wait = consumers).
- Costs
o Fixed ordering cost, procurement cost, holding and backlog costs
