In a base-stock system inventory position is given by on-hand inventory-backorders+orders and since inventory never goes negative, inventory position=r+1. Once an order is placed the base stock level is r+1 and if X≤r+1 there won't be a backorder. The probability that an order does not result in back-order is therefore:
One example of a service rate measures the number of units filled as a percentage of the total ordered and is known as fill rate. Fill rate is different from service level. If a customer orders 1000 units, and their supplier can only provide 900 units of that order, their fill rate is 90%. In statistics, notably in queuing theory, service rate ...
This is related to an activity rate which is a similar calculation used in activity-based costing. A pre-determined overhead rate is normally the term when using a single, plant-wide base to calculate and apply overhead. Overhead is then applied by multiplying the pre-determined overhead rate by the actual driver units. Any difference between ...
The reorder point (ROP), also reorder level (ROL) or "optimal re-order level", [1] is the level of inventory which triggers an action to replenish that particular inventory. It is a minimum amount of an item which a firm holds in stock, such that, when stock falls to this amount, the item must be reordered.
In contrast to the traditional "binge and purge" inventory cycle in which companies over-purchase product to prepare for possible demand spikes and then discard extra product, inventory optimization seeks to more efficiently match supply to expected customer demand. [3]
If the accountant is using a general ledger accounting system, which lacks true job costing functionality, the costs must be manually transferred out of Work in Process to Finished Goods (Cost of Goods Sold for service industries). Of course, in the days of computerized job costing software, journaling costs manually is an obsolete process.
Fillrate or fill rate can refer to: Fillrate, a measure of graphics performance; Service rate, a logistics measure of ordering performance;
To determine the confirmed line item performance two "virtual" quantities are introduced: the virtually committed order and the virtual delivery. The virtually committed order for a product p consists of the actual order for the considered delivery week (DW) plus any backlog of this product accumulated up to that week.
