+ # 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
+ ### Combined Strategy Matrix
90
+
91
+ | Segment | Strategy | Review | Safety Stock |
92
+ |---------|----------|--------|-------------|
93
+ | AX | JIT/Kanban, tight control | Weekly | Low (predictable) |
94
+ | AY | Regular review, moderate buffer | Bi-weekly | Medium |
95
+ | AZ | Custom strategy, close monitoring | Weekly | High or make-to-order |
96
+ | BX | Automated reorder | Monthly | Standard |
97
+ | BY | Periodic review | Monthly | Medium |
98
+ | BZ | Safety stock buffer | Monthly | Above average |
99
+ | CX | Min-max automation | Quarterly | Minimal |
100
+ | CY | Periodic batch ordering | Quarterly | Standard |
101
+ | CZ | Consider eliminating or stocking on demand | Semi-annual | High or drop |
102
+
103
+ ## Cycle Counting
104
+
105
+ ### 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
+ ### Accuracy Targets
118
+
119
+ | Class | Accuracy Target | Tolerance |
120
+ |-------|----------------|-----------|
121
+ | A | 99.5% | +/- 0.5% |
122
+ | B | 97% | +/- 3% |
123
+ | C | 95% | +/- 5% |
124
+
125
+ ### Root Cause Categories for Discrepancies
126
+
127
+ | Category | Examples | Resolution |
128
+ |----------|----------|------------|
129
+ | Receiving | Miscounts, wrong putaway | Receiving audit, barcode scan |
130
+ | Picking | Wrong item, wrong quantity | Pick verification, zone picking |
131
+ | System | Timing errors, duplicate entries | Transaction controls |
132
+ | Damage | Breakage, spoilage | Inspection protocols |
133
+ | Theft | Shrinkage | Security, access controls |
134
+
135
+ ## 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

+ # Logistics
2
+
3
+ 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 |
51
+
52
+ ## Route Optimization
53
+
54
+ ### Milk Run Configuration
55
+
56
+ ```text
57
+ Traditional (point-to-point):
58
+ Supplier A → Warehouse: 1 truck
59
+ Supplier B → Warehouse: 1 truck
60
+ Supplier C → Warehouse: 1 truck
61
+ Total: 3 trucks, 3 trips
62
+
63
+ Milk Run:
64
+ Warehouse → Supplier A → Supplier B → Supplier C → Warehouse
65
+ Total: 1 truck, 1 trip
66
+
67
+ Savings: 40-60% reduction in transportation cost
68
+ Best for: Multiple suppliers in same geographic area
69
+ ```
70
+
71
+ ### Hub-and-Spoke Model
72
+
73
+ ```text
74
+ [Supplier A]
75
+ \
76
+ [Supplier B] → [Regional Hub] → [Distribution Center]
77
+ /
78
+ [Supplier C]
79
+
80
+ 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
89
+ ```
90
+
91
+ ### Last-Mile Optimization
92
+
93
+ | Strategy | Description | Cost Impact |
94
+ |----------|-------------|-------------|
95
+ | Route optimization software | Algorithm-based routing | -15-25% fuel/labor |
96
+ | Delivery windows | Customer picks time slot | -10-15% failed deliveries |
97
+ | Locker/pickup points | Customer collects from locker | -30-40% per delivery |
98
+ | Zone-based delivery | Set days per zone | -20% route miles |
99
+ | Crowdsourced delivery | Gig drivers for peak | Flexible capacity |
100
+
101
+ ## Freight Cost Management
102
+
103
+ ### Cost Structure Breakdown
104
+
105
+ ```text
106
+ Typical Freight Cost Components:
107
+ ├── Base rate (distance x weight/volume) 60-70%
108
+ ├── Fuel surcharge 10-15%
109
+ ├── Accessorial charges 5-10%
110
+ │ ├── Liftgate delivery
111
+ │ ├── Inside delivery
112
+ │ ├── Residential delivery
113
+ │ ├── Detention/demurrage
114
+ │ └── Re-delivery
115
+ ├── Insurance 1-2%
116
+ └── Administrative fees 2-5%
117
+ ```
118
+
119
+ ### Cost Reduction Strategies
120
+
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 |
129
+ | Carrier bid events (annual) | 5-15% | Medium |
130
+
131
+ ### 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
+ ### Freight Audit Checklist
151
+
152
+ ```text
153
+ For every invoice, verify:
154
+ ├── Correct origin and destination
155
+ ├── Correct weight and dimensions
156
+ ├── Correct freight class (LTL)
157
+ ├── Contracted rate applied
158
+ ├── Fuel surcharge matches index
159
+ ├── Accessorials are legitimate
160
+ ├── No duplicate charges

+ ## Key Logistics KPIs
241
+
242
+ | KPI | Formula | Target |
243
+ |-----|---------|--------|
244
+ | Freight cost as % of revenue | Total freight / Revenue | < 5% |
245
+ | Cost per unit shipped | Total logistics cost / Units shipped | Trending down |
246
+ | On-time delivery | On-time deliveries / Total deliveries | > 95% |
247
+ | Perfect order rate | Error-free orders / Total orders | > 95% |
248
+ | Carrier utilization | Actual capacity used / Available capacity | > 85% |
249
+ | Claims rate | Claims filed / Total shipments | < 0.5% |
250
+ | Dock-to-stock time | Receipt to available inventory | < 24 hours |
251
+
252
+ ## 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
296
+ ```

+ # Supply Chain Management
2
+
3
+ Principal-level guidelines for end-to-end supply chain optimization.
4
+
5
+ ## Scope
6
+
7
+ This ruleset applies to:
8
+
9
+ - Inventory management and optimization
10
+ - Demand planning and forecasting
11
+ - Supplier evaluation and relationships
12
+ - Logistics and transportation
13
+ - Cost optimization and modeling
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.

86
+ ## Decision Framework
87
+
88
+ When evaluating any supply chain decision:
89
+
90
+ 1. **Total Cost**: What is the full cost including hidden and indirect costs?
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?
95
+
96
+ ## Communication Standards
97
+
98
+ - Use data to support every recommendation
99
+ - Quantify trade-offs in dollars and service levels
100
+ - Present scenarios (best case, likely, worst case)
101
+ - Document assumptions behind every model
102
+ - Share risks alongside opportunities
