33Pipeline Inventory
- How long are goods in transit?
- 1,000 miles at 50 miles per hour
- 2 days
- How much inventory is in transit on average?
- Imagine we send the items one-at-a-time
- How many items in the pipe?
34Pipeline Inventory
- One Day worth of sales at a store
- 10 TVs at 400100 each 5,000
- 10 Computers at 300400 7,000
- Total 12,000 per day per store
- Two days of system-wide sales
- 2 days 12,000/store/day 100 stores

- Inventory at Plants
- Inventory at DCs
- Handling
36Inventory at the Plants
- Two Extremes
- Simultaneous shipments
- Staggered shipments
37Simultaneous Shipments
- A truckload of computers from Green Bay has 6,000
computers in it - A DC sells 2,500 per year
- So we only need to replenish the DCs every
6,000/2,500 2.4 years
38Inventory at Green Bay
600,000
2.4 years
39Simultaneous shipments
- Green Bay ships once every 2.4 years
- Inventory is 1.2 years demand or 300,000 CPUs
- Inventory value is 90,000,000
- Inventory carrying cost is 13,500,000
- Denver ships 2.5 times per year
- Inventory is 20 of annual demand or 50,000
Consoles - Inventory value is 5,000,000
- Inventory carrying cost is 750,000
- Indianapolis ships 1.6 times per year
- Inventory is 500,000/3.2 or about 150,000 items
- Inventory value is 60,000,000
- Inventory carrying cost is 9,000,000
40Why Not?
- What are problems with simultaneous shipments?
- When are simultaneous shipments likely?
- What alternatives?

- Shipping to the DCs
- ½ a truckload of Computers and TVs
- WIP like Pipeline inventory

59Whats in a Truck
- Of Computers and TVs?
- In the same mix as demand
- 11 computers to TVs
- X computers in a truck
- Weight of the computers 15X lbs
- Weight of the TVs 40X lbs
- 15X 40X 30,000 lbs

61Inventory at DCs
- Inventory at a DC
- Visited by truck 4.6 times per year
- Same as before
- So inventory costs at DC are the same as before,
right?
62Wrong! Magic?
- Total Inventory Carrying Cost at DCs
- 4,914,000
- compared with
- 23,250,000
- under earlier strategy. Explain!
63The Difference
Explain?
64With Consolidation

65Comparison
Invest some of the 120 million in the cross dock
Spend some of the 18 million on handling
66Deterministic Supply Chain Design
- Next time should we be shipping in full
truckloads? - In early February we will explore to the
inventory at the cross dock in more detail
