Inventory Management at ABC organization
ABC is an organization that procures a product PQ from another organisation. ABC requires 11,000 units of PQ every year. The cost of the product is Rs.5 per unit and its ordering cost is estimated to be Rs.100 per order. The cost of carrying inventory is 25%. The consumption rate of PQ in the organization is uniform. Therefore, ABC needs to spend a huge amount on the procurement of product PQ. The CEO of ABC called the production manager of the organization to discuss whether the manufacturing of the product PQ would be more economical for the organisation.
The production manager conducts a research and identifies equipment that can be used for producing PQ. This equipment can yield 100 units of PQ per day. The cost of producing a single unit of PQ by using the equipment is Rs.3.50 per unit. In addition, the setup cost of equipment and inventory carrying costs are Rs.50 per setup and 25%, respectively. From the preceding data, it is found that the production of product PQ would be more beneficial for ABC. Therefore, ABC has purchased the equipment and has started in – house production of PQ. This has reduced the cost of procuring PQ almost five times.
Question
