Inventory is one of the most expensive & significant asset to many company, representing as
much as 40% of total invested capital. The inventory may consist of raw material, work in
progress, spare parts / consumable and finished goods.
It requires effective planning and control as a substantial share of funds is invested in them.
It block the working capital, which is so costly, it is not favorable to have a high level of
inventory.
Inventory required holding and maintenance cost. It carries the risk of spoilage, theft, and
leakage.
Thus, it is very essential to have a tight control over the level of inventory.
EOQ is that size of order which minimize total annual cost of carrying inventory and cost of
ordering, when the size of order increase, the number of order to be place decrease thus the
ordinary cost will decrease, where the inventory carrying cost will increase.

R = annual requirement
O = ordering cost per order
C = carrying cost
(a) Re-order level: This level indicates the time to place order for inventory. It signifies the
action point for procuring the inventory. This level is fixed between the minimum and maximum
levels. The purpose of this level is to indicate time to place order so that stock is not reduced to a
level less than the minimum level.
The formula used for computing Re-order level (ROL) is as follows:
(b) Maximum Level: This level indicates maximum quantity of inventory to be held at any time.
The quantity of inventory should not exceed this level. This is to minimize inventory-holding
costs.
The maximum level may be calculated by applying the following formula:
Maximum Level = Re-order Level + Re-order Quantity (Minimum Consumption x
Minimum Re-order Period)
or
Maximum Level = EOQ + Safety Stock.
(c) Minimum Level: This level indicates minimum quantity of stock to be held at any time. This
is to avoid risk of dislocation of production process.
The minimum level can be calculated as follows:
Minimum Level = ROL (Normal consumption x Normal Re-order Period)
(d) Average Level: It is that level which should be maintained on an average in storehouse. The
formula used for calculating average stock level is as follows:

MODEL - II: EOQ model with shortage allowed (demand Rate uniform, production Rate
infinite)
In the previous inventory models, we have not permitted inventory shortages where there was
not sufficient stock to meet current demand. However, there are many situations in business that
suggest that planned shortages or stockouts may be permitted.
Formula:
EOQ = 2RO C + Cs
C Cs
S = EOQ C
C + Cs
T = EOQ/R
TC = TOC + TCC
TCC = EOQ xC C
2 C + Cs
M = EOQ - S
Cs = Cost of Back order (Shortage cost)
Where,
S = Optimum quanity of product to backorder (amount of backorder)
M = Maximum inventory level
T = Time between order
R = Annual requirement.

YEAR 2009
A dealer supplies you the following information with regard to a product dealt in by him:
Annual demand: 10000 units; ordering cost: ` 10 per order; Price: ` 20per unit.
Inventory carrying cost: 20% of the value of inventory per year.
The dealer is considering the possibility of allowing some back order (stockout) to occur. He has
estimated that the annual cost of backordering will be 25% of the value of inventory.
(i) What should be the optimum number of units of the product he should buy in one lot?
(ii) What quantity of the product should be allowed to be back ordered, if any?

SQC techniques are based on the theory of probability and sampling and are being extensively
used in almost all industries such as armament, aircraft, automobile, textile, electrical equipment,
plastic, rubber, petroleum, transportation, chemical, medicine, and so on. In fact, it is impossible
to think of any industry field where SQC is not used.
The basic problem in any production process is not the quantum of the product but the
quality of the product. The producer is basically interested to see that the product is of acceptable
quality i.e., it conforms to certain prescribed standards or specifications. The quality of the
manufactured product depends on a number of factors, starting with its design and specifications,
the production process, the raw materials, machines and equipments, the expertise and skill of
the persons who handle them, and the inspection of the final product. For successful marketing
of the product, it is imperative that the end products must conform to the standards or
expectations laid down by the customers.
QUALITY CONTROL
The quality control is an activity, which assures that goods or services can form to specified
standards.
etc.
3. To reduce the wastage of raw materials, men and machines during the process of
production.
4. To see whether the product conforms to the pre determined standards and
specifications and whether it satisfies the needs of the customers.
5. To take necessary corrective steps to maintain the quality of the manufactured
products.
6. To protect the manufacturers as well as the consumers against heavy losses due to a
rejection of large quantity of products.

PROCESS CONTROL
The main objective in any production process is to control and maintain a satisfactory quality
level for its product. It should be ensured that the product conforms to specified quality
standards, i.e; it should not contain a large number of defective items.
