Managing Inventory in the Supply Chain • Inventory is a function of time and randomness. • Supply & demand affect on inventory • Randomness is unpredictable. • Pricing, Weather, Acts of Nature, Disease, etc. • Inventory Planning: Strategy associated with coordinating inventory with production or sales needs. • Goal: Reducing costs while increasing production levels • How much, when and where?
Echelon Inventory Optimization • Multi-facility serial supply chain: • Manufacturer Wholesaler Distributor Retailer Customer • Each stage is referred to as an echelon. • EIO Goal: Eliminate waste throughout the entire supply chain. • EIO models each echelon, cost and production, and determines need at each point in supply chain.
Inventory Replenishment Manufacturer Retailer I Wholesaler Distributor Retailer I
How to Calculate Reorder Point? • The formula for Reorder Point is • R= Le �� AVG + Z �� STD �� √�� e. • Le= Echelon Lead Time • AVG= Average Demand • STD= Standard Deviation of Demand

How to calculate Economic Order Quantity (Q*) ? •
Forecasting • The forecast is always wrong • The longer the forecast horizon, the worst the forecast • Aggregate forecasts are more accurate
Four General Categories • Judgment methods • Market Research • Time-Series Methods • Casual Methods
Judgment Methods Sales-force Composite Panel of experts • To project the future demand for a good or service • Expert judgment • Lannoy & Procaccia, 2001 • Using existing data • Predicting and decision making
Delphi Technique • Herman Kann of the RAND Corporation (1960) • survey method • encourage true debate • anonymity and feedback • action-oriented
