Chapter 9 - The optimal amount. After completing this chapter, students will be able to: Calculate the correct order quantities and order times using the par stock, Levinson, and theoretical methods; determine the optimal inventory level; explain the benefits and problems of using only the theoretical method for determining inventory levels. | The Optimal Amount 9 YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO: Calculate the correct order quantities and order times using the par stock, Levinson, and theoretical methods. Determine the optimal inventory level. Explain the benefits and problems of using only the theoretical method for determining inventory levels. OPTIMAL INVENTORY LEVEL A principle objective of inventory management is maintain only the necessary amount of products to serve guests without running out of anything, but not to have so much that the products suffer from spoilage or incur other storage costs. Changed Title to reflect section in book, EGM CORRECT ORDER SIZE AND ORDER TIME Par Stock Approach – the maximum amount of a product you want to have on-hand; order just enough to bring the stock to par Levinson Approach – takes into account forecasted sales, portion sizes and yield percentages planning an order Theoretical Approach – takes into account storage costs, carrying costs and ordering costs when planning purchases Added | The Optimal Amount 9 YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO: Calculate the correct order quantities and order times using the par stock, Levinson, and theoretical methods.

Based on historical data Forecast expected number of guests Forecast orders of specific menu items based on popularity index Determine raw pounds of each ingredient needed for projected sales Calculate portion factor Calculate portion divider LEVINSON APPROACH (CONT.) Portion Factor – ., 16 divided by the number of ounces needed for
