Reorder Quantity Methods

• Reorder Quantity is the quantity of items to

be ordered so as to continue production

without any interruptions in the future.

• Some of the methods employed in the

calculation of reorder quantity are

described below:

• The reorder quantity is a fixed one.

• Time for order varies.

• When stock level drops to reorder level, then order

is placed.

• Calculated using EOQ formula.

Reorder level quantity

(ROL or reorder point)= safety stock + (usage rate + lead time)

• Bin is filled with items to maximum level.

• Open bins are kept at places nearer to the production lines.

• Operators use items without making a record.

• Items are replenished at fixed time.

• This system is used for nuts and bolts.

• Eliminates unnecessary paper work and saves time.

EOQ Economic Order Quantity

EOQ = mathematical

device for arriving at the

purchase quantity of an

item that will minimize

the cost.

total cost = holding costs +

ordering costs

EOQ

So…What does that mean?

• Basically, EOQ system helps you

identify the most economical way to

replenish your inventory by showing you

the best order quantity.

• EOQ is the order size that

"minimizes" Total Costs.

Behavior of EOQ Systems

• As demand for the inventoried item occurs, the

inventory level drops.

• When the inventory level drops to a critical point,

the order point, the ordering process is

triggered.

• The amount ordered each time an order is

placed is fixed or constant.

Page 11: REORDER QUANTITY METHODS AND EOQ...Reorder Quantity Methods • Reorder Quantity is the quantity of items to be ordered so as to continue production without any interruptions in the

Behavior of EOQ Systems

• When the ordered quantity is received, the

inventory level increases.

• An application of this type system is the two-bin

system.

• A perpetual inventory accounting system is

usually associated with this type of system.

– Annual demand requirements known.

– Demand is even throughout the year.

– Lead time does not vary.

– Each order is received in a single delivery.

– There are no quantity discounts.

–Annual demand (D), carrying cost (C) and

ordering cost (S) can be estimated.

–Average inventory level is the fixed order

quantity (Q) divided by 2 which implies

EOQ Equation

• Total annual stocking cost (TSC) = annual

carrying cost + annual ordering cost =

(Q/2)C + (D/Q)S

• The order quantity where the TSC is at a

minimum (EOQ) can be found using

calculus (take the first derivative, set it

equal to zero and solve for Q)

How does it work?

• Total annual holding cost = (Q/2)H

• Total annual ordering cost = (D/Q)S

• EOQ:

– Set (Q/2)H = (D/Q)S and solve for Q

wholesalers. One raw material: calcium nitrate is

purchased from a nearby supplier at $22.50 per

tons of calcium nitrate next year.

Assignment The I-75 Carpet Discount Store in North Georgia stocks

carpet in its warehouse and sells it through an adjoining

showroom. The store keeps several brands and styles of

carpet in stock; however, its biggest seller is Super Shag

carpet. The store wants to determine the optimal order size

and total inventory cost for this brand of carpet given an

estimated annual demand of 10,000 yards of carpet, an

annual carrying cost of $0.75 per yard, and an ordering

cost of $150. The store would also like to know the number

of orders that will be made annually and the time between

orders (i.e., the order cycle) given that the store is open

every day except Sunday, Thanksgiving Day, and

Christmas Day (which is not on a Sunday).

Assume that the I-75 Outlet Store has its own

manufacturing facility in which it produces Super Shag

carpet. The ordering cost, S, is the cost of setting up the

production process to make Super Shag carpet.

Recall S = $0.75 per yard and D = 10,000 yards per year.

The manufacturing facility operates the same days the

store is open (i.e., 311 days) and produces 150 yards of

the carpet per day. Determine the optimal order size, total

inventory cost, the length of time to receive an order, the

number of orders per year, and the maximum inventory

To find the EOQ, the following procedure is used:

1. Compute the EOQ using the lowest acquisition cost.

– If the resulting EOQ is feasible (the quantity can

be purchased at the acquisition cost used), this

quantity is optimal and you are finished.

– If the resulting EOQ is not feasible, go to Step 2

2. Identify the next higher acquisition cost.

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.
