Problem statement Randy Smith was very proud of his new position as inventory control manager for the Johnson Trinket Company. His primary responsibility had been fairly clearly defined: Maintain an inventory level in the warehouse that ensures that production will not run out of stock, yet also maintain an inventory level that will minimize inventory holding and control costs. Since Randy had recently had a course in materials management, he knew an approach that should help him. He decided to make a list of inventory items in one small section of the warehouse to see if he could develop a good plan for inventory control. If it worked in the one small section, he could expand it to the rest of the more than 30,000-part numbers in the warehouse. The following is the data Randy compiled Part Number 1234 1235 1236 1237 1238 1239 1240 1241 1242 1243 1244 1245 Part Unit Value In $ 2.5 0.2 15 0.75 7.6 4.4 1.8 0.05 17.2 9 3.2 0.3 1.1 8.1 5 0.9 6 2.2 1.2 5.9 Quantity Currently in Inventory 300 550 400 50 180 20 200 10 950 160 430 500 25 60 390 830 700 80 480 230 Average Annual Usage 3000 900 1000 7900 2800 5000 1800 1200 2000 2500 7000 10000 7500 2100 4000 6500 3100 6000 4500 900 Annual $ Usage 7500 180 15000 5925 21280 22000 3240 60 34400 22500 22400 3000 8250 17010 20000 5850 18600 13200 5400 5310 1246 1247 1248 1249 1250 1251 1252 1253 When Randy scanned the list, he noticed several things that disturbed him, and he asked one of the experienced inventory clerks. The following list summarizes the part number issues that concerned Randy, and the explanation from the clerk: Part number 1236, a very expensive part with almost half-a-years' worth of inventory. This part is used for a product that has very cyclical demand, and the busy time of the year is about to start. Part number 1241 is very inexpensive, yet the inventory is very small. This part has a supplier with an erratic delivery history, and the part also has a very long lead time. A lot of 150 has been on order for some time and is now several days past due
