The Nature of Demand
•
•
Independent demand
•
Demands unrelated to other finished items
•
Independently forecasted
Dependent demand
•
Demands directly derived from demand for another inventoried item
•
Raw materials, components parts, and subassemblies

Economic Order Size (EOQ) Model
•
•
EOQ is the optimal lot size for purchasing
•
Minimizes the total cost of ordering and holding inventory
•
Place an order of EOQ when the inventory levels fall below reorder
point (R)
Simplified total cost associated with inventory
Total Cost (TC)= Ordering Cost (CP)
+Holding Cost(CH)

1.
Demand is continuous at a constant rate
2.
Constant lead time
3.
Constant unit price
4.
Fixedorder cost per order
5.
Fixed holding cost per unit

2. Demand Uncertainty and Safety Stock
•
•
Relaxation
•
No demand uncertainty
•
Constant demand assumptions
A probability distribution of demands
•
E.g., Normal distribution of demands during lead time

Demand Uncertainty and Safety Stock
(cont.)
•
Safety stock
•
•
Extra inventory carried to protect against stocking out because of
demand uncertainty
What is the appropriate level of safety stock to carry?

Lumpy Demands
•
For components of assembled products:
•
Demands are not usually constant
•
Inventory depletion for component parts tends to occur in discrete
“lumps” because of lot sizing of the final product
•
Requirements dependent on the final product are usually discontinuous
