INVENTORY COST

FIXED ORDER QUANTITY MODELS

Economic order quantity Quantity Discount Safety stock and reorder point

FIXED ORDER QUANTITY MODEL ASSUMPTIONS


Demand for the product is know, constant, and uniform throughout the period
The time from ordering to receipt (lead time) is know and constant

Price per unite of product is constant (no quantity discounts)


Ordering or setup costs are constant No back orders or stockouts

ECONOMIC ORDER QUANTITY MODEL


Optimal order quantity = Q =
2
Where: D = Demand per year Cp = Setup (order) cost per order Ch= Holding cost per unite per year d= Demand per day L= lead time in days

Expected time between orders = T = working days/year

N
Reorder point (ROP) = d x L, where = D

working days/year

BASIC ECONOMIC ORDER QUANTITY MODEL

Totral annual cost (TIC) = Annual ordering cost + Annual carrying cost

SAFETY STOCK AND REORDER POINT

The amount of safety stock depends on the cost of running out of stock and the holding cost for that additional inventory Safety Stock = (Max daily usage Average daily usage) x Lead time
