Logistics Management: Jorge Oyola

This document discusses logistics management strategies. It covers (1) using safety stock and reorder points to manage discrete demand, (2) strategies for slow-moving important items like setting the reorder point to minimize costs per unit out of stock, and (3) simultaneously determining reorder points and order quantities to minimize total costs for fast-moving items. Equations are provided for calculating optimal values.

Review Discrete demand

Reorder point: example with discrete demand

During the last ten cycles, the demand for a particular


product during the lead time has been 64, 51, 48, 32,
93, 21, 47, 57, 41 y 46 units, respectively. The
demand is stable and it has no seasonalities. Assume
that this sample represents very well the behaviour
that the demand could show in the future. If the
reorder point is set to be 51, compute:
The possible number of units out of stock and
the probability of occurrence.
The expected value of the number of units out of
stock.
Probability of an stockout event.
Minimum reorder point, if the average number of
units out of stock should not be greater than 2.9.

Most important units Slow moving items

The B2 cost for expensive (important) and slow moving


items (Q = 1)
An order size equal to one makes sense if D < vr /A

Assumptions
Continuous revision, Q = 1
The demands follows a Poisson
probability distribution
a e −λ
P(x = a) = λ a! .
The lead time (L) is known and
deterministic. The results also apply if
L is stochastic and E (L) is used.
The units out of stock are
backordered.
There is a fractional cost (B2 ) per unit
out of stock.

Selection of the reorder point (s)

two reorder points s and s + 1 if

Reorder point: Example with a specific B2

A firm wishes to set a reorder point for a


very expensive product, with the goal of
minimizing its costs. The management has
set B2 to 1/5. The product has the
following characteristics: D = 25units/year,
Q = 1, A = $3.2, v = $350/year.,
L = 3.5weeks, r = 0.24$/$·year.
Find the reorder point.

Most important units Fast moving items

Example: simultaneous determination of s and Q with B1


cost for fast moving items

A firm has a B1 cost per stockout event.


For a particular product, B1 = $32,
D = 700containers/year,
v = $12/container , x̂L = 100containers,
σL = 30containers, A = $3.20 y
r = 0.24$/$·year. Find the optimal values
for Q and s, in addition to the expected
cost of implementing the strategy.
