Calculating Inventory Turnover (Stock Turn)

As with a typical turnover ratio, inventory turnover details how much inventory is sold over a period. To calculate the inventory turnover ratio, cost of goods (COGS) is divided by the average inventory for the same period.1

Cost of Goods Sold ÷ Average Inventory or Sales ÷ Inventory

In this exercise, the stock turn equal to sales divided by inventory, or 1,000,000:250,000 = 4.

Below is a formula from Toyota you can use to make an informed decision.

1. Start with the basic right-angle stacking width

2. Add the load length

3. Add 12 inches for clearance

The basic right-angle stacking width is the smallest amount of space a forklift needs turn in order to insert its forks into a pallet. You can find basic right-angle stack measurements in the equipment manual or by contacting TMHNC if your business is located in Northern California. This measurement does not include the length of the load or room need for clearance.

Load lengths vary depending on your application, products, etc. As a starting point, a standard pallet has a 48-inch load length. Always check your forklift’s data plate for the rated capacity (which is affected by attachments and other factors).

Adding 12 inches for clearance ensures you have enough room for your forklift’s turn radius and helps protect against damage from operator error and/or product that may hang over the edge of the pallet.

Explanation

Stockout is a situation where an inventory item is not available when required. The costs associated with a stockout include the following:

- Lost of production output - there will be no production until the stockout is resolved (new stock is acquired). For factory operating 24/7 with no spare capacity, this lost output will not be able to be recovered.

- Costs of machine downtime and of overhead spread over a reduced level of output

- Costs of any action required to deal with the stockout...

- Loss of customer goodwill through inability to supply or late delivery

- Loss of sales or new orders

- Loss of market creditability

Explanation

If the planning and mitigation measures fail and redundant or obsolete stock is identified, it needs to be removed from the current inventory location as quickly as possible. There are some methods to deal with these types of stock. The worst case scenario is disposal to landfill, which is inadvisable if it can be avoided, both from environment point of view and the financial costs of such disposal.

For example, the problem of obsolete pesticides remains extremely serious and urgent. Many of the stocks identified continue to deteriorate thereby giving rise to an ever escalating source of severe pollution and posing a threat to human health, the environment and development in particular. To reduce the impact of obsolete pesticides on environment, FAO initiated a project in Yemen in which a total of 262 tonnes of obsolete pesticides were removed from 20 different sites and successfully disposed of between March and June 1996. The major field operation was completed in six weeks during which period almost all obsolete pesticides were brought to a central location and subsequently shipped to the United Kingdom for incineration.

Purchase order lead time (POLT) refers to the number of days from when a company places an order for production inputs it needs, to when those items arrive at the manufacturing plant.
