- W2989348082 abstract "AbstractTitle: Developing an Inventory Control Policy and Forecasting Model for an E-Commerce CompanyAuthors: Patrik Lorentsson & Nilan NabaviehSupervisor: Johan Marklund, Department of Industrial Management and LogisticsBackground: Increasingly competitive business environments forces companies todevelop better control of the material flows in their supply chain. Inventories are oftenkept in large amounts in order to buffer against uncertainties, resulting in high averageholding costs. An important part in controlling this flow of material and inventory is todecide upon when to order and how much. Two important components when evaluatingthese two, is the inventory policy used as well as the method of forecasting.Purpose: Forming a basic inventory policy and forecasting model for the warehouse inSweden.Research Questions: (1) How can the inventory policy for the warehouse in Sweden beimproved? (2) What is an adequate forecasting model for the purchasing department?Methodology: In this thesis, frameworks presented by Yin (2009) and Hillier &Liebermann (2010) are used to construct the research approach. An initial analysis of theproblem presented was conducted in order to properly identify the intended problem.Following this, an analytical analysis of gathered data was conducted to analyse the currentperformance of the company. Finally, models based on well-known theory wereconstructed to represent the new inventory policy and forecasting method.Conclusion: A simple inventory policy could be constructed. Lack of historical data andprevious analysis meant that an exact representation of the current situation could not beconstructed. The demand could be approximated to follow a normal distribution. As thecompany currently orders in batches, a continuous review (R, Q) policy was chosen. Itwas found that the inventory levels could be decreased in almost all cases when setting 95% fill rate constraint. Due to lack of historical data, an adequate forecasting model couldnot be decided upon. Instead Alternative Forecasting Application Models (AFAMs) representing the different models were developed for choosing a suitable forecastingmodel in the future." @default.
