Inventory Control
Purposes of Inventory
1. To maintain independence of operations. 2. To meet variation in product demand. 3. To allow flexibility in production scheduling. 4. To provide a safeguard for variation in raw material delivery time. 5. To take advantage of economic purchaseorder size.

Inventory Costs
Holding (or carrying) costs.
Costs for storage, handling, insurance, etc.
Ordering costs.
Costs of someone placing an order, etc.
Shortage costs.
Costs of canceling an order, etc.

Event triggered (Example: running out of stock) The sale of an item reduces the inventory position to the re order point.
Demand for the product is constant and uniform throughout the period. Lead time (time from ordering to receipt) is constant. Price per unit of product is constant.
7
Inventory holding cost is based on average inventory. Ordering or setup costs are constant. All demands for the product will be satisfied. (No back orders are allowed.)

INVENTORY CONTROL
Inventory control Inventory is referred to accumulation of items or goods required by the company for its products or as an aid to production. A manufacturing firm generally carries the following 7 major classification of items with inventories: Major raw materials. Finished components as work-in-progress. Finished goods. Tools and fixtures. Supplies, e.g., welding rods, oil and grease, electrical supplies, office supplies, consumables, etc. Machinery spares such as bearings, bolts, oil seals, springs, etc.
INVENTORY CONTROL
Purpose of carrying inventory To gain economy in buying. To keep pace with changing market conditions. To satisfy demand during the period of replenishment. To carry reserve stocks to avoid stock-outs. To stabilize production. To prevent loss of sales. To satisfy other business constraints.
Objectives of Scientific Inventory Control Service to customers. Effective use of capital. Economy in buying. Reduction of administrative workload. Minimisation of risk obsolescence and deterioration. Stability of production activity. Space to install scientific inventory control system.

EOQ MODEL Assumptions: The demand of the item occurs uniformly over the period at the known rate. The replenishment of stock is instantaneous. The price per unit is fixed and is independent of the order size. The cost to place an order and process the delivery is fixed and does not vary with the lot size. The inventory carrying charges vary directly and linearly with the size of the inventory and are expressed as a percentage of average inventory investment. The item can be procured in the quantities desired, there being no restriction of any kind. The item has fairly long shelf life, there being no fear of deterioration or spoilage.
INVENTORY CONTROL Mathematical Treatment of the model: The symbols used Annual consumption of the item (units) Unit price (Rs.) Order quantity (units) Procurement cost per order (Rs.) Inventory carrying cost expressed as a Percentage of average investment .

ABC Pump Company uses 60,000 valves per year and the usage is fairly constant at 5000 valves per month. Each valve cost the company Rs.1.50. The carrying cost for the company has been estimated at 15% of the average inventory investment. The cost to place an order and process the delivery is Rs.30. a) Calculate economic order quantity. b) What is stock turnover rate ignoring safety stocks if EOQ is ordered frequently? c) What will be the effect on total cost if stock turnover rate is reduced to one third by infrequent ordering?
