Functions of Inventory
To meet anticipated demand
To smooth production requirements
To decouple components of the productiondistribution
To protect against stock-outs
To take advantage of order cycles
To help hedge against price increases or to take
advantage of quantity discounts
To permit operations
Inventory turnover

EOQ example
Demand, D = 12,000 computers per year.
Holding cost, H = 100 per item per year. Fixed cost, S =
$4,000/order.

EPQ example
Demand, D = 12,000 computers per year.
p=20,000 per year. Holding cost, H = 100 per
item per year. Fixed cost, S = $4,000/order.
Find EPQ.
EPQ = EOQ*sqrt(p/(p-D))
=979.79*sqrt(20/8)=1549 computers

Operations Strategy
Too much inventory
Tends to hide problems
Easier to live with problems than to eliminate them
Costly to maintain
Wise strategy
