SMI Suggested Ship Calculation Details

Use this page to review the suggested quantity of the part to be shipped. This value is calculated based on the method selected by the customer.

The suggested ship quantity is calculated based on the SMI maximum and minimum quantity, standard pack specified for the part and the quantity of the part on-hand at the ship to location and the in-transit quantity.

These methods are used to calculate the suggested ship quantity of the SMI part:

  1. Method1: The result is converted to standard pack. (MAX - MIN)/2 + MIN - QOH - QIT
  2. Method2:
    • Case 1: QTY_PROD1 = ADR * DAYS_PROD1: If (QOH < QTY_PROD1) then SHIP_QTY = CEILING((QTY_PROD1 - QOH + CUR)/ STD.PCK) * STDPCK
    • Case 2: QTY_PROD2 = ADR * DAYS_PROD2: IF ((QOH + QIT - MIN - CUR) < QTY_PROD2) AND (DAYS_PROD2 < DAYS_IN_TRANS) then SHIP_QTY = QTY_PROD2 - QOH - QIT + MIN + CUR
    • Case 3: QTY_PROD2 = ADR * DAYS_PROD2: If ((QOH + QIT - MIN - CUR) < QTY_PROD2) AND (DAYS_PROD2 = > DAYS_IN_TRANS) then SHIP_QTY = QTY_PROD2 - QOH - QIT + MIN + CUR and SHIP_DATE = Second receipt day

Abbreviations used:

  • QOH = Quantity on hand
  • QIT = Quantity In-Transit
  • STDPCK = Standard Pack
  • MIN = Minimum Quantity
  • MAX = Maximum Quantity
  • CUR = Cumulative Underrun (Currently Zero)
  • ADR = Average Daily Release
  • INTR = In-transit Quantity
  • INTRDAYS = In-transit Time in days
  • Scheduled Receipt Dates (whether it is Mon to Friday or Mon to Sunday)
    • 1st Receipt date
    • 2nd Receipt date
  • DAYS_ PROD1 = Number of Production days between today and 1st receipt date including the 1st receipt date.
  • QTY_PROD1 = ADR * DAYS_ PROD1
  • DAYS_ PROD2 = Number of Production days between today and 2nd receipt date NOT including the 2nd receipt date.
  • QTY_PROD2 = ADR * DAYS_ PROD2
