Cost of Ordering
Cost of Storing
Costs in Inventory Planning
Carrying Cost
Interest for short-term borrowals for working capital
Cost of stores and warehousing
Administrative costs related to maintaining and
accounting for inventory
Insurance costs, cost of obsolescence, pilferage,
damages and wastage
Price negotiation, contracting and purchase order
generation
Follow-up and receipt of material
Eventual stocking in the stores after necessary accounting
and verification
A larger order quantity will require less number of orders
to meet a known demand & vice versa
Cost of carrying and cost of ordering are fundamentally two opposing cost
structures in inventory planning

EOQ Model
Weekly demand = 200
Number of weeks per year = 52
Annual demand, D = 200*52 = 10,400
Carrying cost, Cc = Rs. 60.00 per unit per year
2Co D 2 * 460 *10,400
Economic Order Quantity = 399.33 400
Cc 60

Time between orders = 2 weeks

Removing Assumption 2
– Lead Time (Not instantaneous arrival)
Lead Time = 5 Days
Use previous example data, to find ‘When to Order’
Reorder Level
(Considering Lead Time)
Removing Assumption 1
-Exact demand is uncertain
(Probability!)
Desired Level of ‘No Stockouts’ in % , ex 90%, 95%

Level of Protection – Alpha (% of occasions we will
not be out of stock, ex 95%)

Introduction to
NORMAL DISTRIBUTION
Computing Safety Stock
Using Normal Distribution
Mean demand during lead-time = (L )
Standard deviation of
demand during lead-time = (L )

Steps – In Case of
Demand Uncertainty
Step 0 : Decide on the level of protection (alpha)
Step 1 : Calculate Mean and Std Deviation
during R eview +L ead time Period
Step 2: Compute Safety Stock (use norm.s.inv
excel or normal distr. table)
Step 3: Compute ‘Order Upto Level ’ (Mean
Demand + Safety Stock)
Step 4 : How Much to Order = Q = Order Upto
Level – Inventory in Hand
