Inventory-ctrl systems
 Inv should be managed and controlled so that optimal inv levels can be maintained
 Should be kept at a level that the best service can be rendered to the customer at
the lowest possible cost
 The quantities ordered each time should keep inv at this optimal level


The syst of fixed-order quantities:
 Each time new inv is required, a fixed quantity is ordered
 New inv is ordered once inv reaches a certain level due to sales
 Amnt of inv ordered is det so that inv does not deplete during delivery of new inv
 Unsuitable for items with unreliable consumption or lead-times


The cyclical-ordering syst:
 Each item in inv is checked at fixed intervals
 is supplemented by an order to bring the inv level to its max level
 ordering times are fixed but quantity varies
 suitable for seasonal materials – irregular basis
 used in grocery stores


The materials-requirements planning (MRP) syst:
 computer-assisted syst
 aim is to maintain min inv levels
 computer calc total need for materials in a given period and gives consideration to
lead times
 materials and components are received when the production process needs them
 advantage = inv levels are kept low
 syst only works if you have reliable suppliers though
