TWO BIN Method :
an item is stored in two locations or bins
in a warehouse and the stock is
replenished in the first bin from the
second bin once the first bin is
consumed completely.
The required quantity to be filled in the
second bin is placed for ordering.
Two containers of inventory; reorder
when the first is empty
THREE BIN Method :
with a third bin at the suppliers' location.
The supplier will not manufacture spare parts
for the manufacturer until the reserve bin is
emptied.
Once the inventory in manufacturing/shop floor
bin/display is consumed/sold, it is replenished
with the complete bin from the back store/shop.
Later the back store bin is sent to the supplier
and replace with a complete bin from the
supplier.
FIXED ORDER QUANTITY :
used to avoid ordering mistakes and ensure regular
replenishment of existing products.
Only a fixed quantity can be ordered at one time for the
item.
used in auto replenishment of goods where in auto
reordering point is set in system and when the product's
inventory level hits the reordering point or minimum stock
levels, an order is placed to the maximum stocking
capacity of the product.
should know the minimum and maximum stocking capacity
of the product based on space allocated and the sales
trend.
FIXED PERIOD ORDERING :
JIT inventory system also exposes the
unwanted or the dead inventory held my the
retailer/ manufacturer.
VENDOR MANAGED INVENTORY
:
SKUs managed directly by the supplier.
Inventory is replenished based on the sales
on regular intervals by the vendor.
The retailer provides shop floor space and
the vendor is charged a consignment rate on
every product sold at the location.
The ownership of the items from receiving to
sales and inventory loss if any will be with
the supplier.

When to Reorder with EOQ
Ordering
Reorder Point - When the quantity on
hand of an item drops to this amount,
the item is reordered
Safety Stock - Stock that is held in
excess of expected demand due to
variable demand rate and/or lead time.
Service Level - Probability that demand
will not exceed supply during lead time.

Determine whether the EOQ is feasible at that
price
Will the vendor sell that quantity at that price?
If yes, stop – if no, continue
Check the feasibility of EOQ at the next higher
price

What if Demand is
Uncertain?
Safety Stock and Service
Level
Order-cycle service level is the
probability that demand during lead time
won’t exceed on-hand inventory.
Risk of a stockout = 1 – (service level)
More safety stock means greater service
level and smaller risk of stockout
Safety Stock and Reorder
Point
Without safety stock:
R dL
where R reorder point in units
d daily demand in units
L lead time in days
Step 1 – determine z
From Appendix B : z 1.28
Step 2 – determine safety stock
SS 1.28 50 64 units
Step 3 – determine reorder point
R dL SS 20 10 64 264 units
ABC Inventory
Classification
ABC classification is a method for determining level
of control and frequency of review of inventory items
A Pareto analysis can be done to segment items into
value categories depending on annual dollar volume
A Items – typically 20% of the items accounting for
80% of the inventory value-use Q system
B Items – typically an additional 30% of the items
accounting for 15% of the inventory value-use Q or P
C Items – Typically the remaining 50% of the items
accounting for only 5% of the inventory value-use P
ABC Example: the table below shows a solution to an ABC
analysis. The information that is required to do the analysis is:
Item #, Unit $ Value, and Annual Unit Usage. The analysis
requires a calculation of Annual Usage $ and sorting that
column from highest to lowest $ value, calculating the
cumulative annual $ volume, and grouping into typical ABC
classifications.
Item Annual Usage ($) Percentage of Total $ Cumulative Percentage of Total $ Item Classification

Quantity Discount Models
Steps in analyzing a quantity discount
1. For each discount, calculate Q*
2. If Q* for a discount doesn’t qualify, choose
the smallest possible order size to get the
discount
3. Compute the total cost for each Q* or
adjusted value from Step 2
4. Select the Q* that gives the lowest total
cost

Calculate Q* for every discount 2DS

inventory management focuses on three things:
Correct placement of resources.
Quick, inexpensive product reordering.
Efficient product receiving and storage.
Inventory control focuses on these three things:
Cutting purchases of slow-moving products.
Keeping up with changes in demand to avoid overstock.
Avoiding product spoilage by efficiently using inventory.
Inventory management is the act of directing the affairs
of a business, with a complete listing of merchandise
or stock on hand, raw materials, finished goods, etc.,
made each year by a business organization.
nventory control methods are practical models that
help the organization to curb overconsumption of a
particular item of the inventory. It also involves the
measurement of time element that is required to
consume a given volume of raw materials.
"Inventory Control" focuses on the process of movement
and accountability of inventory. This consists of strict
polices and processes in regards to: · The physical and
systemic movement of materials · Physical Inventory and
cycle counting · Measurement of accuracy and tolerances ·
Good Accounting Practices "Inventory Management"
focuses on inventory as an asset or an instrument of value
creation. Inventory is managed to maximize value, exposure,
and/or profit while minimizing cost and spend. This consists
of: · Product smoothing and leveraging · Selective product
placement · Velocity and turns calculation development ·
Inventory reduction and product rationalization · MRP
