Doubling up on materials and people was essential as backup to the inevitable misjudgments of the real-time state of play in a company. Judgments were made from information that was hours, days, or even weeks old. Accordingly, production planning required adequate, but costly, inventory safety stocks, and backup teams of people to maintain quality control and for emergency response to the unanticipated and the misjudged. 

Large remnants of information void, of course, still persist and forecasts of future events on which all business decisions ultimately depend are still inevitably uncertain. But the recent years remarkable surge in the availability of real-time information has enabled business management to remove large swaths of inventory safety stocks and work redundancies.. . . ... 

Due to inaccurate and outdated inventory, safety stoeks and purehase order quantities were set at higher levels than the levels they should be at if inventories were up to date. As a result, inventory turnover rates were low and inventory costs were higher than they should be. Sometimes inaccurate and outdated inventory created confusion, resulting in delayed supplies from vendors and unreliable forecasts as well.

SAFETY INVENTORY Safety inventory is inventory held in case demand exceeds expectation it is held to counter uncertainty. If the world were perfectly predictable, only cycle inventory would be needed. Because demand is uncertain and may exceed expectations, however, companies hold safety inventory to satisfy an unexpectedly high demand. Managers face a key decision when determining how much safety inventory to hold. For example, a toy retailer such as Toys R Us must calculate its safety inventory for the holiday buying season. If it has too much... 

From Equation 12.5, we see that the required safety inventory ss is also influenced by the standard deviation of demand during the lead time, <7i. The standard deviation of demand during the lead time is influenced by the duration of the lead time L and the standard deviation of periodic demand ajj, as shown in Equation 12.2. The relationship between safety inventory and is linear, in that a 10 percent increase in op results in a 10 percent increase in safety inventory. Safety inventory also increases with an increase in lead time L. The safety inventory, however, is proportional to the square root of the lead time (if demand is independent over time) and thus grows more slowly than the lead time itself. 

Identify factors that influence the required level of safety inventory. Safety inventory is influenced by demand uncertainty, replenishment lead times, lead time variability, and desired product availability. As any one of them increases, the required safety inventory also increases. The required safety inventory is also influenced by the inventory policy implemented. Continuous review policies require less safety inventory than periodic review policies.

Golden s new proposal will result in low transportation costs for EE if the plant manager orders in lots of 4,000 motors. The plant manager, however, decides to include inventory costs in the transportation decision. EE s annual cost of holding inventory is 25 percent, which implies an annual holding cost of// = 120 X 0.25 = 30 per motor. Shipments by rail require a five-day transit time, whereas shipments by truck have a transit time of three days. The transportation decision affects the cycle inventory, safety inventory, and in-transit inventory for EE. Therefore, the plant manager decides to evaluate the total transportation and inventory cost for each transportation option.
