Formulae Table Chapter - Basic Formulas. Maximum Level = Reorder Level + Reordering Quantity - Minimum Consumption during the period required to obtain delivery. Or RL + RQ - MnC Or Safety Stock + EOQ. Minimum Level = Reorder Level - (Normal usage per period Average delivery time) 3. Average Stock Level = Minimum Level +/ Reorder Quantity. Reorder Level = Maximum Reorder period Maximum Usage = Normal Usage (Minimum Stock Period + Average Delivery Time) = Safety Stock + Lead Time Consumption. Danger Level = Minimum Consumption Emergency Delivery Time 6. EOQ = 7. Ordering Cost =. Carrying Cost = Cost expressed as % of average Inventory 9. Inventory Turnover Ratio = 0. Inventory Turnover Period = 36 Inventory Turnover Ratio 3.
Formulae Table O 3.3. To decide whether discount on purchase of material should be availed or not, compare total inventory cost before discount and after discount. Total inventory cost will include ordering cost, carrying cost and purchase cost.. Safety Stock = 3. Total Inventory Cost = Ordering Cost + Carrying Cost + Purchase Cost Chapter - 3. Time Rate System Earnings = Hours worked Rate per hour. Straight Piece Rate System Earnings = Number of units Piece rate per unit 6. Differential piece Rate System (a) F.W. Taylor s System Efficiency Payment Less than 00% 3% of the normal piece rate or 0% of piece rate when below standard. Either 00% or More than 00%% of the normal piece rate or 0% of piece rate when at or above standard Merrick differential Piece Rate System Efficiency Payment Up to 3% Ordinary Piece rate 3% to 00% 0% of Ordinary piece rate (0% above the ordinary piece rate) Above 00% 0% or 30% of Ordinary piece rate (0% to 30% of ordinary piece rate) 7. Combination of Time and Piece Rate (a) Gantt Task and Bonus System Output Payment Output below standard Guaranteed time rate Output at standard 0% of time rate Output above standard 0% of piece rate
3. O Solved Scanner CA Inter Gr. I Paper - 3 (New Syllabus) Emerson Efficiency System Earning is calculated as follows : Efficiency Payment Below 66-/3% No bonus, only guaranteed time rate is paid. 66-/3% to 00% Worker is paid by hourly rate for the time he actually worked plus in increase in bonus according to degree of efficiency on the basis of step bonus rates. Bonus rate can be up to 0%. Above 00% 0% of time wage rate plus additional bonus of % for each % increase in efficiency. (c) Bedaux Point System Earnings = Hours worked Rate per hour + (d) Haynes Manit systems This system is similar to Bedaux Point system. Instead of Bedaux Points saved, MANIT (Man-minutes) saved are measured for payment of bonus. Bonus is distributed as follows : 0% bonus to the workers 0% bonus to the supervisors 0% bonus of the employer (e) Accelerated Premium System In this system individual employer makes his own formula. The following formula may be used for a general idea of the scheme: Y = 0. x Where, y = wages x = efficiency
