- Inventory is merchandise
in-stock and on hand.
- Companies today must be
fast and nimble enough to react quickly to changes in customer demand
and do it with little inventory.
- A significant cost to
manufacturing, distribution and retail organizations is the inventory
carried to support customers and sales. Effectively managing and
minimizing investments in inventory can certainly provide competitive
advantage and bottom-line benefits.
- Manufacturing
organizations usually divide their "goods for sale" inventory
into:materials and components scheduled for use in making
a product (Materials and Components or Raw Materials), materials and
components that have begun their transformation to finished goods (Work
in Process, or WIP),finished goods - goods ready for sale to
customers.
- Stockroom inventory is
classified into categories called ABCD
- The logistics chain
includes the owners (wholesalers and retailers), manufacturers' agents,
and transportation channels which an item passes through between initial
manufacture and final purchase by a consumer. At each stage, goods
belong (as assets) to the seller until the buyer accepts them.
- Just In Time (JIT) is an
inventory strategy implemented to improve the return on investment of a
business by reducing in-process inventory and its associated
costs.
- JIT espouses that firms
need only keep inventory in the right quantity at the right time with
the right quality.
- Theory of constraints
(TOC) is a philosophy which emphasizes that all management actions
should center around the firm's constraints
- Vendor Managed Inventory,
(VMI), describes a family of business models in which the buyer of a
product provides certain information to a supplier of that product and
the supplier takes full responsibility for maintaining an agreed
inventory of the material, usually at the buyer's consumption location
(usually a store). VMI makes it less likely that a business will
unintentionally become out of stock of a good and reduces inventory in
the supply chain.
- VMI will help foster a
closer understanding between the supplier and manufacturer by using
Electronic Data Interchange and other statistical methodologies to
forecast and maintain correct inventory in the supply chain.
- Ownership of consignment
stock is passed only when the stock is used (issued). Unused stock in a
warehouse may be returned to the manufacturer.
- Standard cost accounting
uses ratios called effciencies that compare the labor and materials
actually used to produce a good with those that the same goods would
have required under "standard" conditions.
- When the value of
inventory is lower than its cost, the inventory should be written down
to its market value. This is done by valuing the inventory at the lower
of cost and market in the period in which the price decline
occurs.
- The accounting method
that a company decides to use to determine the costs of inventory can
directly impact the balance sheet, income statement and statement of
cash flow.
- There are three
inventory-costing methods that are widely used by both public and
private companies:
FIFO,LIFO and Average Cost.
- Often firms are given a
price discount when purchasing large quantities of a good. This also
frequently results in inventory in excess of what is currently needed to
meet demand. However, if the discount is sufficient to offset the extra
holding cost incurred as a result of the excess inventory, the decision
to buy the large quantity is justified.
- Managing stock has never
been as easy.Save time, manage customers and get one step ahead of your
competition with inventory software.Create invoices in a snap.No more
lost sales due to insufficient stock
- Supply chain management
has had a considerable impact on inventory management. Instead of
managing one's inventory to maximize profit and minimize cost for the
individual firm, today's firm has to make inventory decisions that
benefit the entire supply chain.
-
A survey by AMR Research (Boston) projects that the excess
consumer goods inventory will exceed $60 billion in the U.S., and $120
billion globally, by the end of
2000. |
