Due Day: Oct 10
Ch. 11 – 3The reorder point [see equation (11.6) is defined as the lead-time demand for an item. In cases of long lead times, the lead-time demand and thus the reorder point may exceed the economic order quantity Q*. In such cases, the inventory position will not equal the inventory on hand when an order is placed, and the reorder point may be expressed in terms of either the inventory position or the inventory on hand. Consider the economic order quantity model with D=5000, C0=$32, Ch=$2, and 250 working days per year. Identify the reorder point in terms of the inventory position and in terms of the inventory on hand for each of the following lead times.a. 5 daysb. 15daysc. 25daysd. 45days
Ch. 11-7 A large distributor of oil-well drilling equipment operated
over the past two years with EOQ policies based on an annual holding cost rate of 22%. Under the EOQ policy, a particular product has been ordered with a Q*=80. A recent evaluation of holding costs shows that because of an increase in the interest rate associated with bank loans, the annual holding cost rate should be 27%.
a. What is the new economic order quantity for the product?b. Develop a general expression showing how the economic
order quantity changes when the annual holding cost rate is changed from I to I’.
Ch. 11-17 A manager of an inventory system believes that inventory
models are important decision-making aids. Even though often using an EOQ policy, the manger never considered a backorder model because of the assumption that backorders were “bad” and should be avoided. However, with upper management’s continued pressure for cost reduction, you have been asked to analyze the economics of a back-ordering policy for some products that can possibly be back ordered. For specific product with D=800 units per year, C0=$150, Ch=$3, and Cb =$20, what is the difference in total annual cost between the EOQ model and the planned shortage or backorder model?
If the manager adds constraints that no more than 25% of the units can be back ordered and that no customer will have to wait more than 15 days for an order, should the backorder inventory policy be adopted? Assume 250 working days per year.
Inventory Theory
How do companies use operations research to improve their inventor policy?
1. Formulate a mathematical model describing the behavior of the inventory system.
2. Seek an optimal inventory policy with respect to this model.
3. Use a computerized information processing system to maintain a record of the current inventory levels.
4. Using this record of current inventory levels, apply the optimal inventory policy to signal when and how much to replenish inventory.
The mathematical inventory models can be divided into two broad categories,
(a) Deterministic models
(b) Stochastic models
according to the predictability of demand involved.
The demand for a product in inventory is the number of units that will need to be withdrawn from inventory for some use during a specific period.
Components of Inventory Models
Some of the costs that determine this profitability are
(1) ordering costs,
(2) holding costs,
(3) Shortage costs.
Other relevant factors include
(4) revenues,
(5) salvage costs,
(6) discount rates.
The holding cost (sometimes called the storage
cost) represents all the associated with the
storage of the inventory until it is sold or used.
The holding cost can be assessed either
continuously or on a period-by-period basis.
The shortage cost (sometimes called the
unsatisfied demand cost) is incurred when the
amount of the commodity required (demand)
exceeds the available stock.
The criterion of minimizing the total (expected) discounted cost.
A useful criterion is to keep the inventory policy simple, i.e., keep the rule for indicating when to order and how much to order both understandable and easy to implement.
Lead Time:
The lead time, which is the amount of time between the placement of an order to replenish inventory and the receipt of the goods into inventory.
If the lead time always is the same (a fixed lead time), then the replenishment can be scheduled just when desired.
Deterministic Continuous-Review Models
A simple model representing the most common
inventory situation faced by manufacturers,
retailers, and wholesalers is the EOQ (Economic
Order Quantity) model. (It sometimes is also
referred to as the economic lot-size model.)

The EOQ Model
The Basic EOQ Model
Assumptions (Basic BOQ Model):
1. A known constant demand rate of D units per unit time.
2. The order quantity (Q) to replenish inventory arrives all at once just when desired, namely, when the inventory level drops to 0.
3. Planned shortages are not allowed.
I = annual holding cost rate
C = unit cost if an inventory item,
Ch = annual holding cost for one unit of time in inventory
The objective is to determine when and how much to replenish inventory so as to minimize the total cost.
The inventory level at which the order is placed is called the reorder point.
The time between consecutive replenishments of inventory is referred to as a cycle.
In general, a cycle length is Q/D.
The total annual cost
Average inventory level = (Q + 0)/2 = Q/2 units,
Average holding cost =
(Avg. Inventory) (Annual Holding Cost)
= 1/2QCh .
Annual Ordering Cost =
(# of orders per year) (ordering cost)
= (D/Q)Co
Total Annual Cost = Annual holding Cost + Annual Ordering Cost
TC = 1/2QCh+(D/Q)Co
The value of Q, say Q*, that minimizes TC,is found by setting the first derivative to zero.
which is well-known EOQ formula.

When the unit holding cost increases, both Q* and t* decrease (smaller inventory levels).
As the demand rate increases, Q* increases (larger batches) but t* decreases (more frequent setups).

The EOQ Model with Planned Shortages
Planned shortages now are allowed. When a
shortage occurs, the affected customers will wait
for the product to become available again.
Their backorders are filled immediately when the
order quantity arrives to replenish inventory.

The EOQ Model with Planned Shortages
The inventory levels extend down to negative values that reflect the number of units of the product that are backordered.
Let
S = inventory level just after a batch of Q units is added.
Q - S = shortage in inventory just before a batch of Q units is added.
During each cycle, the inventory level is positive
for a time S/D.
The average inventory level during this time is
1/2(Q -S)t1/T units, where t1=(Q-S)/d and T=Q/d.
Here, d is a daily demand.
Hence, Avg. Inventory =

Annual # of orders = D/Q.
Average backorders = [(0 t1+ (S/2)t2)]/T
