ABC/XYZ Classification
ABC Analysis (Value)
| Class | % of Items | % of Value | Management |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | 10-20% | 70-80% | Tight control |
| B | 20-30% | 15-20% | Moderate control |
| C | 50-70% | 5-10% | Simple control |
XYZ Analysis (Variability)
| Class | CV Range | Predictability | Approach |
|---|---|---|---|
| X | 0-0.5 | High | Statistical |
| Y | 0.5-1.0 | Medium | Mixed |
| Z | >1.0 | Low | Manual |
Safety Stock Calculation
Safety Stock = Z x Standard Deviation x Square Root(Lead Time)
Where:
- Z = Service level factor (1.65 for 95%)
- Standard Deviation = Demand variability
- Lead Time = Replenishment time
Example:
- Daily demand: 100 units
- Daily std dev: 15 units
- Lead time: 5 days
- Service level: 95% (Z = 1.65)
Safety Stock = 1.65 x 15 x sqrt(5) = 55 units
Economic Order Quantity (EOQ)
EOQ = Square Root((2 x Annual Demand x Order Cost) / Holding Cost)
Example:
- Annual demand: 12,000 units
- Order cost: $50
- Unit cost: $25
- Holding rate: 25%
Holding cost = $25 x 0.25 = $6.25
EOQ = sqrt((2 x 12,000 x 50) / 6.25) = 438 units
Reorder Point
Reorder Point = (Average Daily Demand x Lead Time) + Safety Stock
Example:
- Daily demand: 100 units
- Lead time: 5 days
- Safety stock: 55 units
Reorder Point = (100 x 5) + 55 = 555 units
Inventory Metrics
| Metric | Formula | Target |
|---|---|---|
| Inventory Turns | COGS / Average Inventory | Industry benchmark |
| Days of Supply | Inventory / Daily Usage | Per policy |
| Fill Rate | Orders filled from stock | >95% |
| Carrying Cost | Average Inventory x Rate | Minimize |
Integration Points
- ERP/inventory systems
- Demand planning systems
- Warehouse management
- Procurement systems
