2. Two systems for inventory management are:
Two-bin system: is the oldest system of inventory management, each item is stored in two bins. One of the bins contains sufficient stock to meet the demand between the arrival of one order and the placement of the next order. The second bin contains sufficient supply to meet the expected demands during the purchasing lead-time, plus a safety reverse. In this system, the purchase order is issued as soon as the supply in the first bin falls to a predetermined level.
Ordering cycle system: is also known as periodic ordering. That means we have a fixed time at which reorders are made and a variable amount that can be ordered during each order period.
