Product Summary

The objective of the inventory management system is to maintain an accurate record keeping system of parts and accessories, and optimize the balance of investment in inventory vis-à-vis the service goals of the organization. The system generates replenishment orders taking into consideration lead time and quantity.

At specified intervals the system makes a recalculation for each item’s forecasted demand, its order point, and an economic order quantity (EOQ). During a transaction that effects a reduction in stock quantity to a point below calculated levels, a reorder list (table) is populated with items whose quantity is below the order point. The system then uses this calculation to decide what, when and how much to reorder. Ordering is accomplished automatically. Upon receipt of the order, the quantity on hand is incremented, costs averages are computed and the lead time identified.
