15 Inventory Planning Four main methods Basic Stock Percentage Variation Stock-to-Sales Weeks Supply 9-15
16 Basic Stock Method Calculated at the beginning of month (BOM) stock Based on projected sales Includes fudge factor Good for retailers who have a low inventory turnover Used by retailers who experience erratic sales over the sales period 9-16
17 Basic Stock Method Calculations Beginning of Month (BOM) stock (at retail) = Planned sales (monthly) + Basic stock Basic stock (at retail) = Average monthly stock for the sales period (at retail) Average monthly sales for the sales period Average monthly sales for the sales period = Total planned sales for the sales period/number of months in the sales period Average monthly stock for the sales period = Total planned sales for the sales period/inventory turnover for the sales period (estimated) 9-17
18 Percentage Variation Method (PVM) Used by retailers with annual inventory turns greater than 6 Assumes that stock percentage fluctuations each month will be no greater than one-half of the average stock on hand 9-18
19 PVM Calculation BOM stock (at retail) = Average stock for the sales period (at retail) x ½ [1 + (Planned monthly sales/average monthly sales)] 9-19
20 Stock-to-Sales Method Inventory investment is measured as cost instead of retail BOM stock = Stock-to-sales ratio x Planned sales Stock to sales ratio - how much product is needed at the beginning of the month to reach the months sales forecast Stock-to-sales ratio = Value of stock/actual sales 9-20
21 Stock-to-Sales Method (cont d) Disadvantage May attempt to adjust inventory to a greater extent than sales may require resulting in fluctuation in inventory levels Advantage Retailer can generate comparisons from external sources 9-21
22 Weeks Supply Method BOM (at retail) planned inventory = Average weekly sales (estimated) x Number of weeks to be stocked Number of weeks to be stocked = Number of weeks in sales period/stock turnover rate (for sales period) Average weekly sales estimate = Estimated total sales (for sales period)/number of weeks in sales period 9-22
23 Open-to-Buy Open-to-buy (at retail) = Planned purchases Purchase commitments 9-23

31 Technology (VMI and EDI) Use of technology ensures less errors and faster delivery of products Advancements Vendor-managed inventory (VMI) Electronic data interchange (EDI) 9-31
