Inventory Costs

Obsolescence & Cost of Capital - Talk to Fin Dept (if someone says holding costs are 10-15%, he is not accounting for the opp.cost) Normal: 25% Max:40%


Pilferage: 1,5-3%

Pilferage: 1,5-3%

Procurement costs per year

=(D/Q)*(S+cQ) = DS/Q + Dc


Q - quantity of inventory (in a single order)


D - demand per year


S - cost of placing a single order to supplier


c - inventory unit production cost

Holding costs per year

=(h+ic)*(Q/2)=H*Q/2


h - physical holding costs (warehousing/op.cost)


i - annual opportunity cost of capital (ex: 20% if invested othrwise)


c - inventory unit production cost


H - all holding costs



Total inventory costs per year

DS/Q+Dc+HQ/2


D - demand per year


S - cost of placing a single order to supplier


Q - quantity of inventory (in a single order)


c - inventory unit production cost


H - all holding costs

EOQ

Economic Order Quantity=SQRT(2DS/H)


D - demand per year


S - cost of placing a single order to supplier


H - all holding costs

Newspaper Demand Forecasting

Marginal Analysis Newspaper 1


Cost 0,5; Gain 1,5; Probabilities; 4 newspapers



Critical Fractile

Pc = Cu/(Cu+Co)


Pc - probability of CritFr


Cu - Underage Cost (Gain)


Co - Overage Cost (Loss)




Pc - area to the left of the optimal stocking level on the bell curve

Expected incremental contribution of additional unit "n"


!!!

=(Cumulative P of n-1)*(- unit cost) + (1- Cumulative P of n-1)*(unit rev - unit cost)
