# Inventory Management
|
|
2
|
+
|
|
3
|
+
Frameworks and best practices for inventory optimization, classification, and control.
|
|
4
|
+
|
|
5
|
+
## Core Principle
|
|
6
|
+
|
|
7
|
+
**Inventory is a buffer against uncertainty.** The goal is not zero inventory but the right inventory in the right place at the right time. Over-stocking ties up cash; under-stocking loses sales.
|
|
8
|
+
|
|
9
|
+
## Economic Order Quantity (EOQ)
|
|
10
|
+
|
|
11
|
+
### Formula
|
|
12
|
+
|
|
13
|
+
```text
|
|
14
|
+
EOQ = sqrt((2 x D x S) / H)
|
|
15
|
+
|
|
16
|
+
Where:
|
|
17
|
+
D = Annual demand (units)
|
|
18
|
+
S = Ordering cost per order ($)
|
|
19
|
+
H = Annual holding cost per unit ($)
|
|
20
|
+
```
|
|
21
|
+
|
|
22
|
+
### When EOQ Applies
|
|
23
|
+
|
|
24
|
+
| Scenario | EOQ Applicable? | Alternative |
|
|
25
|
+
|----------|----------------|-------------|
|
|
26
|
+
| Stable demand, constant lead time | Yes | Standard EOQ |
|
|
27
|
+
| Volume discounts available | Partial | Quantity discount model |
|
|
28
|
+
| Multiple items from same supplier | No | Joint replenishment |
|
|
29
|
+
| Perishable goods | No | Newsvendor model |
|
|
30
|
+
| Lumpy/sporadic demand | No | Min-max or manual |
|
|
31
|
+
|
|
32
|
+
### EOQ Sensitivity
|
|
33
|
+
|
|
34
|
+
```text
|
|
35
|
+
EOQ is most sensitive to demand (D) and least sensitive to costs.
|
|
36
|
+
Doubling demand increases EOQ by only 41% (sqrt of 2).
|
|
37
|
+
If costs are approximate, EOQ still provides a good starting point.
|
|
38
|
+
```
|
|
39
|
+
|
|
40
|
+
## Reorder Points and Safety Stock
|
|
41
|
+
|
|
42
|
+
### Reorder Point Formula
|
|
43
|
+
|
|
44
|
+
```text
|
|
45
|
+
ROP = (Average Daily Demand x Lead Time) + Safety Stock
|
|
46
|
+
```
|
|
47
|
+
|
|
48
|
+
### Safety Stock Calculation
|
|
49
|
+
|
|
50
|
+
```text
|
|
51
|
+
Basic:
|
|
52
|
+
SS = Z x sigma_D x sqrt(LT)
|
|
53
|
+
|
|
54
|
+
With lead time variability:
|
|
55
|
+
SS = Z x sqrt(LT x sigma_D^2 + D_avg^2 x sigma_LT^2)
|
|
56
|
+
|
|
57
|
+
Where:
|
|
58
|
+
Z = Service level factor
|
|
59
|
+
sigma_D = Standard deviation of daily demand
|
|
60
|
+
sigma_LT = Standard deviation of lead time
|
|
61
|
+
LT = Average lead time (days)
|
|
62
|
+
D_avg = Average daily demand
|
|
63
|
+
```
|
|
64
|
+
|
|
65
|
+
### Service Level Z-Values
|
|
66
|
+
|
|
67
|
+
| Service Level | Z-Value | Typical Use |
|
|
68
|
+
|--------------|---------|-------------|
|
|
69
|
+
| 90% | 1.28 | C items, low priority |
|
|
70
|
+
| 95% | 1.65 | B items, standard |
|
|
71
|
+
| 97.5% | 1.96 | A items, important |
|
|
72
|
+
| 99% | 2.33 | Critical items |
|
|
73
|
+
| 99.9% | 3.09 | Safety-critical, no stockout tolerance |
|
|
74
|
+
|
|
75
|
+
## ABC/XYZ Classification
|
|
76
|
+
|
|
77
|
+
### ABC Analysis Steps
|
|
78
|
+
|
|
79
|
+
1. Calculate annual usage value (unit cost x annual demand) for each SKU
|
|
80
|
+
2. Sort descending by usage value
|
|
81
|
+
3. Calculate cumulative percentage
|
|
82
|
+
4. Classify: A = top 80% of value, B = next 15%, C = remaining 5%
|
|
83
|
+
|
|
84
|
+
### XYZ Analysis Steps
|
|
85
|
+
|
|
86
|
+
1. Calculate coefficient of variation (CoV) for each SKU's demand
|
|
87
|
+
2. Classify: X (CoV < 0.5), Y (0.5-1.0), Z (> 1.0)
|
|
88
|
+
|
|
89
|
+

### Counting Strategy
|
|
106
|
+
|
|
107
|
+
```text
|
|
108
|
+
A Items: Count every month (100% counted 12x/year)
|
|
109
|
+
B Items: Count every quarter (100% counted 4x/year)
|
|
110
|
+
C Items: Count every 6 months (100% counted 2x/year)
|
|
111
|
+
|
|
112
|
+
Daily count target = (A items / 20 working days)
|
|
113
|
+
+ (B items / 60 working days)
|
|
114
|
+
+ (C items / 120 working days)
|
|
115
|
+
```
|
|
116
|
+
|
|
117
|

## Warehouse Optimization
|
|
136
|
+
|
|
137
|
+
### Slotting Strategy
|
|
138
|
+
|
|
139
|
+
```text
|
|
140
|
+
High velocity (A items): Place near shipping dock, waist-height
|
|
141
|
+
Medium velocity (B items): Middle zones
|
|
142
|
+
Low velocity (C items): Far zones, upper/lower racks
|
|
143
|
+
Heavyweight items: Floor level
|
|
144
|
+
Frequently co-picked: Adjacent locations
|
|
145
|
+
```
|
|
146
|
+
|
|
147
|
+
### Key Warehouse KPIs
|
|
148
|
+
|
|
149
|
+
| KPI | Formula | Target |
|
|
150
|
+
|-----|---------|--------|
|
|
151
|
+
| Space utilization | Used cubic ft / Total cubic ft | 80-90% |
|
|
152
|
+
| Pick accuracy | Correct picks / Total picks | > 99.5% |
|
|
153
|
+
| Orders per hour | Orders completed / Labor hours | Varies by type |
|
|
154
|
+
| Dock-to-stock time | Receipt to putaway complete | < 24 hours |
|
|
155
|
+
| Order cycle time | Order received to shipped | < 24 hours |
|
|
156
|
+
|
|
157
|
+
## Common Pitfalls
|
|
158
|
+
|
|
159
|
+
### 1. Using Average Demand Without Variability
|
|
160
|
+
|
|
161
|
+
```markdown
|
|
162
|
+
Wrong: "Average demand is 100/day, so reorder at 100 x 7 days = 700"
|
|
163
|
+
Right: "Average demand is 100/day (StdDev 20), lead time 7 days (StdDev 1),
|
|
164
|
+
so ROP = 700 + safety stock of Z x sqrt(7 x 400 + 10000 x 1) = 700 + SS"
|
|
165
|
+
```
|
|
166
|
+
|
|
167
|
+
### 2. One-Size-Fits-All Inventory Policies
|
|
168
|
+
|
|
169
|
+
```markdown
|
|
170
|
+
Wrong: All items have 2 weeks safety stock
|
|
171
|
+
Right: A-items get 99% service level, C-items get 90%, each with calculated SS
|
|
172
|
+
```
|
|
173
|
+
|
|
174
|
+
### 3. Ignoring Carrying Costs
|
|
175
|
+
|
|
176
|
+
```markdown
|
|
177
|
+
Wrong: "Buy more to get the volume discount"
|
|
178
|
+
Right: "Volume discount saves $5K but additional carrying cost is $8K/year - net loss"
|
|
179
|
+
```
|
|
180
|
+
|
|
181
|
+
### 4. Counting Accuracy Without Root Cause
|
|
182
|
+
|
|
183
|
+
```markdown
|
|
184
|
+
Wrong: Fix the count, move on
|
|
185
|
+
Right: Fix the count AND investigate why it was wrong to prevent recurrence
|
|
186
|
+
```
|
|
187
|
+
|
|
188
|
+
### 5. Static Safety Stock
|
|
189
|
+
|
|
190
|
+
```markdown
|
|
191
|
+
Wrong: Set safety stock once and forget it
|
|
192
|
+
Right: Recalculate quarterly as demand patterns and lead times change
|
|
193
|
+
```
|
|
194
|
+
|
|
195
|
+
### 6. Not Reviewing Slow Movers
|
|
196
|
+
|
|
197
|
+
```markdown
|
|
198
|
+
Wrong: Keep everything in stock indefinitely
|
|
199
|
+
Right: Flag items with no movement in 90+ days for review; consider write-down or liquidation

Guidelines for transportation management, route optimization, and freight cost control.
|
|
4
|
+
|
|
5
|
+
## Core Principle
|
|
6
|
+
|
|
7
|
+
**Logistics is the physical execution of supply chain strategy.** The right mode, the right carrier, the right route, at the right cost. Every logistics decision balances speed, cost, reliability, and compliance.
|
|
8
|
+
|
|
9
|
+
## Transportation Mode Selection
|
|
10
|
+
|
|
11
|
+
### Mode Comparison
|
|
12
|
+
|
|
13
|
+
| Mode | Cost/kg | Transit Time | Reliability | Best For |
|
|
14
|
+
|------|---------|-------------|-------------|----------|
|
|
15
|
+
| Ocean (FCL) | $0.02-0.05 | 14-45 days | Medium | Bulk, non-urgent intercontinental |
|
|
16
|
+
| Ocean (LCL) | $0.05-0.15 | 21-50 days | Medium-Low | Small intercontinental shipments |
|
|
17
|
+
| Rail | $0.03-0.08 | 3-15 days | Medium-High | Heavy goods, continental |
|
|
18
|
+
| Truck (FTL) | $0.05-0.15 | 1-5 days | High | Full loads, regional/national |
|
|
19
|
+
| Truck (LTL) | $0.10-0.30 | 2-7 days | Medium-High | Partial loads, regional |
|
|
20
|
+
| Air | $1.00-5.00 | 1-3 days | High | Urgent, high-value, perishable |
|
|
21
|
+
| Parcel | $0.50-3.00 | 1-5 days | High | Small packages, B2C |
|
|
22
|
+
|
|
23
|
+
### Decision Framework
|
|
24
|
+
|
|
25
|
+
```text
|
|
26
|
+
Question 1: What is the time constraint?
|
|
27
|
+
├── < 3 days → Air freight or express parcel
|
|
28
|
+
├── 3-14 days → Truck (FTL/LTL) or rail
|
|
29
|
+
└── > 14 days → Ocean or rail (for cost optimization)
|
|
30
|
+
|
|
31
|
+
Question 2: What is the shipment size?
|
|
32
|
+
├── < 150 lbs → Parcel carrier
|
|
33
|
+
├── 150-10,000 lbs → LTL truck
|
|
34
|
+
├── > 10,000 lbs → FTL truck or intermodal
|
|
35
|
+
└── Container load → Ocean FCL or rail
|
|
36
|
+
|
|
37
|
+
Question 3: What is the value density?
|
|
38
|
+
├── High (> $50/kg) → Air freight justified
|
|
39
|
+
├── Medium ($5-50/kg) → Truck or intermodal
|
|
40
|
+
└── Low (< $5/kg) → Ocean or rail (minimize freight %)
|
|
41
|
+
```
|
|
42
|
+
|
|
43
|
+
### Intermodal Strategies
|
|
44
|
+
|
|
45
|
+
| Combination | Use Case | Savings vs Pure |
|
|
46
|
+
|-------------|----------|-----------------|
|
|
47
|
+
| Ocean + Truck | Import to inland destination | Standard import routing |
|
|
48
|
+
| Rail + Truck | Long-haul domestic + last mile | 20-40% vs FTL over 500+ miles |
|
|
49
|
+
| Air + Truck | Urgent international + domestic | Standard for air freight |
|
|
50
|
+
| Ocean + Rail | Port to inland warehouse | 10-20% vs ocean + truck |

Benefits:
|
|
81
|
+
- Consolidation reduces long-haul shipments
|
|
82
|
+
- Better truck utilization
|
|
83
|
+
- Reduced per-unit freight cost
|
|
84
|
+
|
|
85
|
+
Trade-offs:
|
|
86
|
+
- Added handling and hub costs
|
|
87
|
+
- Slightly longer total transit time
|
|
88
|
+
- Requires sufficient volume to justify hub

121
|
+
| Strategy | Potential Savings | Implementation Effort |
|
|
122
|
+
|----------|------------------|----------------------|
|
|
123
|
+
| Consolidate shipments | 15-25% | Medium |
|
|
124
|
+
| Negotiate volume contracts | 10-20% | Low |
|
|
125
|
+
| Mode shift (air to ocean) | 50-80% | Medium |
|
|
126
|
+
| Optimize packaging (reduce DIM weight) | 5-15% | Medium |
|
|
127
|
+
| Freight audit and payment | 2-5% (error recovery) | Low |
|
|
128
|
+
| Backhaul utilization | 20-30% on return legs | Medium |
|
|

### Dimensional Weight Calculation
|
|
132
|
+
|
|
133
|
+
```text
|
|
134
|
+
DIM Weight = (Length x Width x Height) / DIM Factor
|
|
135
|
+
|
|
136
|
+
DIM Factors:
|
|
137
|
+
Domestic truck: 3,000 (cubic inches)
|
|
138
|
+
International air: 5,000 (cubic cm) or 166 (cubic inches)
|
|
139
|
+
Domestic parcel: 139 (cubic inches)
|
|
140
|
+
|
|
141
|
+
Billable Weight = MAX(Actual Weight, DIM Weight)
|
|
142
|
+
|
|
143
|
+
Example:
|
|
144
|
+
Box: 24" x 18" x 12" = 5,184 cubic inches
|
|
145
|
+
Actual weight: 25 lbs
|
|
146
|
+
DIM weight: 5,184 / 139 = 37.3 lbs
|
|
147
|
+
Billable weight: 37.3 lbs (DIM weight is higher)
|
|
148
|
+
```
|
|
149
|
+
|
|
150

+

Spot market: 5-10% of volume (overflow/special)
|
|
235
|
+
|
|
236

## Common Pitfalls
|
|
253
|
+
|
|
254
|
+
### 1. Choosing Mode by Default, Not by Analysis
|
|
255
|
+
|
|
256
|
+
```markdown
|
|
257
|
+
Wrong: "We always ship FTL because that's what we've always done"
|
|
258
|
+
Right: "We analyzed LTL consolidation and can save 18% by pooling Tuesday/Thursday shipments"
|
|
259
|
+
```
|
|
260
|
+
|
|
261
|
+
### 2. Ignoring Dimensional Weight
|
|
262
|
+
|
|
263
|
+
```markdown
|
|
264
|
+
Wrong: Ship product in oversized boxes, pay DIM rates
|
|
265
|
+
Right: Right-size packaging to minimize DIM weight; $3K/month savings on parcel alone
|
|
266
|
+
```
|
|
267
|
+
|
|
268
|
+
### 3. Not Auditing Freight Bills
|
|
269
|
+
|
|
270
|
+
```markdown
|
|
271
|
+
Wrong: Pay every carrier invoice as received
|
|
272
|
+
Right: Audit 100% of invoices; industry average error rate is 3-5% of freight spend
|
|
273
|
+
```
|
|
274
|
+
|
|
275
|
+
### 4. Single Carrier Dependency
|
|
276
|
+
|
|
277
|
+
```markdown
|
|
278
|
+
Wrong: 100% of volume with one carrier for "relationship pricing"
|
|
279
|
+
Right: Maintain 2-3 qualified carriers per lane; competitive tension improves service and rates
|
|
280
|
+
```
|
|
281
|
+
|
|
282
|
+
### 5. Ignoring Total Landed Cost When Selecting Origin
|
|
283
|
+
|
|
284
|
+
```markdown
|
|
285
|
+
Wrong: "Supplier X is cheapest per unit"
|
|
286
|
+
Right: "Supplier X is cheapest per unit but ships from 3,000 miles away;
|
|
287
|
+
landed cost including freight, duties, and inventory carrying is 12% higher"
|
|
288
|
+
```
|
|
289
|
+
|
|
290
|
+
### 6. Neglecting Customs Classification
|
|
291
|
+
|
|
292
|
+
```markdown
|
|
293
|
+
Wrong: Use generic HS code or guess at classification
|
|
294
|
+
Right: Professional classification by licensed customs broker;
|
|
295
|
+
wrong codes risk penalties and overpayment of duties

Principal-level guidelines for end-to-end supply chain optimization.

|
+

|
+
## Scope
|

|
+
|
|

|
+
This ruleset applies to:
|
|
8
|
+
|
|
9
|
+
- Inventory management and optimization
|
|
10
|
+
- Demand planning and forecasting
|
|

|
|
14
|
+
- Risk mitigation and business continuity
|
|
15
|
+
|
|
16
|
+
## Core Philosophy
|
|
17
|
+
|
|
18
|
+
**Supply chains compete, not companies.** The organization with the most responsive, cost-effective, and resilient supply chain wins. Every decision must balance cost, speed, quality, and risk.
|
|
19
|
+
|
|
20
|
+
## Fundamental Principles
|
|
21
|
+
|
|
22
|
+
### 1. End-to-End Visibility
|
|
23
|
+
|
|
24
|
+
You cannot optimize what you cannot see. Every node, every flow, every cost must be measured.
|
|
25
|
+
|
|
26
|
+
```markdown
|
|
27
|
+
Wrong: "We track inventory at our warehouse"
|
|
28
|
+
Right: "We track inventory from supplier raw materials through to customer delivery"
|
|
29
|
+
```
|
|
30
|
+
|
|
31
|
+
### 2. Demand-Driven Planning
|
|
32
|
+
|
|
33
|
+
Pull-based systems reduce waste. Let actual demand signal drive replenishment.
|
|
34
|
+
|
|
35
|
+
### 3. Total Cost Thinking
|
|
36
|
+
|
|
37
|
+
Unit price is one component. True cost includes transportation, quality, risk, and carrying costs.
|
|
38
|
+
|
|
39
|
+
### 4. Risk Diversification
|
|
40
|
+
|
|
41
|
+
Single points of failure are not acceptable for critical materials or routes.
|
|
42
|
+
|
|
43
|
+
### 5. Continuous Improvement
|
|
44
|
+
|
|
45
|
+
Measure baseline, set targets, implement changes, verify results, standardize.
|

When evaluating any supply chain decision:
|
|

|

|
|
91
|
+
2. **Service Impact**: How does this affect customer delivery and fill rates?
|
|
92
|
+
3. **Risk Exposure**: Does this create or mitigate supply chain risk?
|
|
93
|
+
4. **Capacity**: Do we have the resources and infrastructure to execute?
|
|
94
|
+
5. **Flexibility**: Does this improve or reduce our ability to respond to change?
