Chapter 18 Inventory and Production Management
MANAGEMENT
PURPOSE
• To meet the demands of customers at the lowest available cost for the
company.
• To provide the demanded products and services at the most efficient
way possible.
PHILOSOPHIES
• Push System and Pull System
• The original meaning of push and pull, as used in operations
management, logistics and supply chain management. In the pull
system production orders begin upon inventory reaching a certain
level, while on the push system production begins based on
demand (forecasted or actual demand).
PRODUCT LIFE CYCLES
• The stages through which a product class passes from the time that an
idea is conceived until production is discontinued.
PRODUCTION LIFE CYCLES
• Introduction
• Growth
• Maturity
• Decline
JUST IN TIME SYSTEMS
• Eliminating any production process or operation that does not add
value to the product/service.
• Continuously improving production/performance efficiency.
• Reducing the total cost of production/performance while increasing
quality.
JIT MANUFACTURING SYSTEM
• Attempts to acquire components and produce inventory units only as
they are needed, minimize product defects, and reduce cycle/setup
times for acquisition and production.
LEAN MANUFACTURING
• Refers to the process of making only those items demanded by
customers and making those items without waste.
• Lean manufacturing originated in post WW II Japan, when production
managers were compelled to develop practices that minimized waste
and resource consumption because access to material, factory
equipment, and warehouse space was limited.
THEORY OF CONSTRAINTS
• Theory indicates that the flow of goods through a production process
cannot be at a rate faster than the slowest constraint in the process.
• Can help management reduce cycle time.
• Constraint is anything that confines or limits the ability of a person or
machine to perform a project or function.
ECONOMIC ORDER QUANTITY
• Represents the least costly number of units to order.
• EOQ indicates the optimal balance between ordering and carrying
costs by mathematically equating total ordering costs to total carrying
costs.
ORDER POINT AND SAFETY STOCK
• Order point reflects the inventory level that triggers placement of an
order for additional units.
• Usage refers to the quantity of inventory used or sold each day.
• Lead time reflects the days between issuing an order to obtaining or
producing the necessary goods.
• Safety stock is the inventory quantity kept by a company in the event
of fluctuating usage and lead time.
