2.1 Inventory and Supply Chains
Inventory: The quantity of goods that is available on hand or in stock.
Why hold inventory?:
2.1.1 Different Types of Inventory
1) Cycle/replenishment stock: Inventory necessary to meet the normal daily demand.
2) Safety stock: Buffers against forecast error and supplier’s unreliability.
3) In-transit stock: Stock in the process of being transported to a stocking or
delivering point.
4) Seasonal stock: Stock built up in advance to meet increased sales volumes
during a particular time of the year.
5) Promotional stock: Feeds into marketing campaigns and advertising.
6) Speculative stock: Stock held to protect against price increases or limited availability.
7) Dead or obsolete stock: Stock that is no longer usable or saleable in the market.
2.1.2 Cycle stock
When talking about cycle stock, it is worthwhile looking at how much stock we hold throughout the
year. The average stock holding calculation is based on the order quantity. As the level of stock varies
between the maximum at the time of receipt and the minimum just before the next delivery, we can
Q
define stockholding as: 𝐴𝑆 = 2
with AS = average stockholding, and Q = order quantity.
