Some fun
before we
start
You are a farmer taking a fox (or a wolf), a chicken (or a goose)
and a sack of grain to market (don't ask why you're taking a
fox to market) and you come across a river. The only way
across the river is by a small boat, which can only hold at most
you and one of the three items. Left unsupervised, the chicken
will eat the grain or the fox will eat the chicken (however, the
fox won't try to eat the grain, nor will the fox or the chicken
wander off). What's the quickest way to get everything across
the river?

Learning points:
1. There are limitations in keeping, carrying and holding
items in businesses.
2. For staying profitable, investment has to be made in doing
some extra work for making sure that the organizational
assets are safe and provide the necessary functions when
needed.
3. This extra work is I ve tory Ma age e t .

What is Inventory?
1. A complete list of the things that are in a place
2. An itemized list of current assets
3. The quantity of goods or materials on hand
4. A quantity of merchandise or goods held in stock
5. I e tor is listed as a asset o fir s ala e sheet
and consists of the stocks or items needed to maintain
production, support activities such as maintenance and
repair, and provide customer service.

Case Studies
Case Study I
Virgin cola was launched in 1994 starting from Great Britain
It attempted to compete with Coca Cola
Coca Cola sent a 747 full of its employees assigned to buy all
Virgin cola stock available in the market
This sudden vanishing of Virgin Cola from the market
disturbed the supply and demand cycle and the existing
customer base was destroyed
Case Study II
Ericsson was once one of the leading mobile handset manufacturers of its time
Philips used to supply a certain cell phone component to Ericsson and Nokia
In March 2000 a fire broke out in Philips plant destroying all the stocks and
production equipment
The initial estimate of repair was one week but it took 6 weeks in the end
Nokia did t ha e a ig sto k a aila le of these hips ut Eri sso ere
complacent as they had a stock of almost 4 weeks available
Nokia were operating with a small inventory and therefore searched for
alternatives and found some
Eri sso aited for Philips ut si e the suppl did t start for a o th, the ra
out of stocks and the balance of product supply and revenue generation was
disturbed
Ericsson had to be rescued by Flextronics and since then it is called Sony Ericsson

So what is Inventory
Management then?
The actions taken to minimize the possibility of disruption
in the production schedule of a firm for want of raw
material, stock and spares at a minimum cost is called
inventory management.

Game Brief
1. You are managing a plant for manufacturing empty plastic bottles for a
water filtration company.
2. Your maximum plant capacity is 2 million bottles per month
3. You have to deal with three different suppliers as follows:
i.
Fantastic plastic The raw plastic supplier
ii. Lovely labels The label supplying company
iii. Comfy caps The bottle caps supplier
4. These suppliers have their weaknesses which means that they deliver on
time most of the time but things may go awry some times
5. Although not essential but you may want to keep some inventory levels at
every step of the supply chain just to deal with unpredictable
contingencies
6. The game will have maximum five rounds unless all the groups go
bankrupt

13. Work out the cash requirement for fulfilling the yearly demand. Use the
calculator provided
14. Production capacity of the plant cannot be increased
15. Inventory cannot be sold
Lets Start
Orders for March 2014
1.6 million units of bottles to be delivered
Timeout
Lets Continue
Orders for April 2014
1.9 million units of bottles to be delivered
Ooops..
Lovely labels have a fire broken out in their plant
which has left the plant dysfunctional for at least
two weeks. They will therefore only be able to
deliver 1 million units of bottle caps this month
