    thanks

  2. Thank you Opentuition, special thanks to johnmoffat. You are a Great lecturer May God Bless you.

  3. Dear Sir
    I have been through the luctures on inventory and you explained evrything so simple.However I am a bit confused with ordering cost.Is it always fixed(for every batch we used the same ordering cost).If so how it applies in real life circumstances?

    • In F2 it is always a fixed amount per order.

      It is not realistic in real life because since the most likely order cost relates to delivery then the delivery charge is likely to change depending on the quantity ordered.

      (In practice, if the delivery cost was something like “$0.10 per unit + a standing charge of $10 per order” then in fact we could deal with it. In total over the year the variable cost would be fixed (number of units ordered over the year x $0.10) and could therefore be ignored in the formula. All we would put in the formula would be the $10 because the total over the year would vary with the number of orders. However, for F2, there is no need to worry about that :-) )

  4. Re-order level and ‘safety’ inventories??? please…

  5. Hello John

    Wrt to EBQ can we use this for just in time delivery sort of situation?

    Thanks

    • No – it is different that JIT.

      There are two main reasons. One is that EBQ assumes that we order in fixed quantities at fixed intervals, whereas JIT assumes that we order as needed. Second it that the main focus of JIT is on quality and the costs involved with quality are impossible to quantify.

  6. These examples are not included in he corse notes that i have. Where cani find them

  7. Sir, Could u please tell how the average inventory ebq/2(1-d/r) derived. where should i refer?

    • If you are happy with differentiation then it is fairly easy to derive the formula for the EBQ and for the average inventory.
      However deriving it is excluded from the syllabus (and will take too long to type out on here).
      The derivation might be in some of the approved study texts (although probably not because it is not in the syllabus).

      • Sir could u please suggest me a good book for Financial management? I luv this subject. and nw after having viewed ur lectures im evem more impressed.
        Thanks in advance

      • wrt EOQ formula even with out differenciation i could derive.
        @ EOQ HOLDING COST = ORDERING COST
        AVG INVENTORY*HC PER UNIT PER ANNUM = NO.OF ORDERS * OC
        EOQ/2 * HC= DD/EOQ *OC
        EOQ* EOQ=2 *DD*OC/HC
        EOQ=ROOT OF 2*DD*OC/HC

        LYK THIS CANT WE DERIVE EBQ. FOR ME THE DOUBT IS WAT SHOULD BE AVD INVENTORY IN EBQ SCENARIO?

  8. Thanks again. You make it seems so much easier.

  9. These examples are not in the study notes, is that correct or have they been missed out?

  10. i love OT but i don’t think i am studying from the right text book.Can anyone tell me the name of the textbook? mine is from the BPP Learning Media

  11. i really hate it when i realize why i didnt start studying before from opentuition and would have saved time and definitely pass my exams too. Really helpful lectures.
    Love opentuition
