Inventory Management
Inventories are a vital part of business: (1) necessary for operations and (2) contribute to customer satisfaction A “typical” firm has
roughly 30% of its current assets and as much as 90% of its working capital invested in inventory
I. Work-in-process (WIP)
II. Finished goods inventories or merchandise
III. Tools and supplies
IV. Maintenance and repairs (MRO) inventory
V. Goods-in-transit to warehouses or customers (pipeline inventory)
Level of customer service - Having the right goods available in the right quantity in the right place at the right time
➢ Periodic System –
• Physical count of items made at periodic intervals
• a physical count of items in inventory is madeat periodic, fixed intervals (e.g. weekly, monthly) in order to decidehow much
to order of each item. Used by many small retailers
Advantage
✓ orders for many items occur at the same time, which can resulting economies in processing and shipping orders*

Effective Inventory Management: Inventory Counting Systems (Example of Perpetual Inventory System)
Inventory Costs-
Classifying inventory according to some measure of importance and allocating control efforts accordingly.
A - very important
B - moderately important
C - least important
• 10 to 20 percent of the number of items in inventory and about 60 to 70 percent of the annual dollar value
• 50 to 60 percent of the number of items in inventory but only about 10 to 15 percent of the annual dollar value
Economic order quantity models identify the optimal order quantity by minimizing the sum of annual costs that vary with order size
and frequency
The basic EOQ model is used to find a fixed order quantity that will minimize total annual inventory costs
Assumptions:
Where:
24 Deriving EOQ
➢ Using calculus, we take the derivative of the total cost function and set the derivative (slope) equal to zero and solve for Q.
➢ The total cost curve reaches its minimum where the carrying and ordering costs are equal.
25 EOQ: Comments
➢ We buy parts in EOQ, but what if we produce manufacture parts and use them simultaneously?
➢ Production done in batches or lots
➢ Capacity to produce a part exceeds the part’s usage or demand rate
➢ Assumptions of EPQ are similar to EOQ except orders are received incrementally during production
The batch mode is widely used in production. In certain instances, the capacity to produce a part exceeds its usage (demand rate)

Reorder point - the point in time when a new order should be placed
Lead time - the time required to receive the economic order quantity once an order is place or a setup is initiated
Because the demand for a product is not known with certainty, the possibility of a stock-out exits. Safety stock can help avoid this.
Safety stock - extra inventory carried to serve as insurance against fluctuations in demand
ROP = d x LT
Where:
➢ Demand or lead time uncertainty creates the possibility that demand will be greater than available supply
➢ To reduce the likelihood of a stockout, it becomes necessary to carry safety stock
Safety stock - Stock that is held in excess of expected demand due to variable demand and/or lead time
Safety Stock?
➢ As the amount of safety stock carried increases, the risk of stockout decreases.
• This improves customer service level
➢ Service level
• The probability that demand will not exceed supply during lead time
• Service level = 100% - Stockout risk
The amount of safety stock that is appropriate for a given situation depends upon:

Single-Period Model
A. Single-period model
• Model for ordering of perishables and other items with limited useful lives
B. Shortage cost
• Generally, the unrealized profit per unit
C. Excess cost
• Different between purchase cost and salvage value of items left over at the end of the period
Single-Period Model
The goal of the single-period model is to identify the order quantity that will minimize the long-run excess and shortage costs
Wise strategy
• 1960’s: Developed as Toyota Production System by Taiichi Ohno and his colleagues
• 1970’s: U.S. and European auto makers began to apply JIT to improve quality and productivity
• 1990’s and beyond: Expanded the JIT concept to streamline all types of operations
Definition of JIT
• A set of techniques to increase productivity, improve quality, and reduce cost of an operations
• Reduction in WIP
• Improvement in quality
• Improvement in productivity
• Elimination of waste
Wastes - Anything that exceeds the minimum resources needed for the appropriate value
• Inventory
• Waiting
• Transportation
• Processing
• Motion
• Defective parts
Importance of Inventory Reduction
• Inventory costs money - carrying costs, obsolescence costs, and opportunity costs
• Inventory reduction forces organization and employees to eliminate sources of problems and work as a team.
• Employee empowerment
• Teamwork
• Demonstrate by
• encouraging people to achieve their potential by giving them greater responsibility and authority
Process improvement
5S’s
1. Seiri - organization
2. Seiton - tidiness
3. Seiso - purity
4. Seiketsu - cleanliness
5. Shitsuke - discipline
• Andon boards
• Flag systems
• Music as signals
• Improve communication
• Share information
JIT Implementation
• Steering committee
• Education program
• Employee training
• Pilot implementation
• Goal: link suppliers’ cycle to firm’s cycle to mutually reduce wait and move times
• Improve quality
• Cross-train employees
• Promote teamwork
Toyota Production System (TPS)
Toyota Production System (TPS) is a holistic approach to efficiency, generating sustainable profits, and satisfying the customer with
the highest possible quality at the lowest cost in the shortest lead-time.
All setup practices are wasteful because they add no value and they tie up labor and equipment. By organizing procedures, using
carts, and training workers to do their own setups, Toyota managed to slash setup times from months to hours and sometimes even
minutes.
Producing things in large batches results in huge setup costs, high capital cost of high-speed dedicated machinery, larger inventories,
extended lead times, and larger defect costs. Because Toyota has found the way to make setups short and inexpensive, it became
possible for them to economically produce a variety of things in small quantities.
Toyota organized their workers by forming teams and gave them the responsibility and training to do many specialized tasks. Teams
are also given responsibility for housekeeping and minor equipment repair. Each team has a leader who also works as one of them
on the line
To eliminate product defects, they must be discovered and corrected as soon as possible. Since workers are at the best position to
discover a defect and to immediately fix it, they are assigned this responsibility. If a defect cannot be readily fixed, any worker can
halt the entire line by pulling a cord (called Jidoka).
V. Equipment Maintenance
Toyota operators are assigned primary responsibility for basic maintenance since they are in the best position to defect signs of
malfunctions. Maintenance specialists diagnose and fix only complex problems, improve the performance of equipment, and train
workers in maintenance.
To reduce inventory holding costs and lead times, Toyota developed the pull production method wherein the quantity of work
performed at each stage of the process is dictated solely by demand for materials from the immediate next stage. The Kamban
scheme coordinates the flow of small containers of materials between stages. This is where the term Just-in-Time (JIT) originated.
Toyota treats its suppliers as partners, as integral elements of Toyota Production System (TPS). Suppliers are trained in ways to
reduce setup times, inventories, defects, machine breakdowns etc., and take responsibility to deliver their best possible parts.

Total Computation
Mandatory Contributions
We deducted the mandatory contributions because it is included in the computation of the basic salary.
Minimum Benefits
The amount given as De Minimis Benefits is the amount of the total De Minimis Benefits received by the employee. Assuming that all
given De Minimis Benefits did not exceed to the ceiling amount per benefit.
Other Benefits
The amount that should be deducted as other benefit is the amount of actual other benefit received or the 90,000 ceiling whichever is
lower. In our sample problem the actual number of other benefits received is 65,000, therefore the amount that we must deduct to get
the net taxable income is 65,000
