| Dimensional Warehouse Model Data Model |
Description | The analysis of inventory items over a period of time. Inventory items can range from high volume, relatively low cost items such as surgical gloves and regular drugs like paracetamol to low volume high value items such as implantable devices or new high tech drugs. The style of this analysis is more suited to the high volume inventory items but can have application across all types of inventory. The analysis reports on elements such as cost, wastage, shrinkage, stock on hand and projected cover. |

Description | The average number of units of inventory required for use each day. This is based on a simple calculation of the inventory usage during the reporting period divided by the number of days in the reporting period. Some organizations may prefer to use a predictive demand model instead of this calculation so that other factors sucha as seasonality can be included. Formula: [A/B] (see dependencies and their labels for measures used in the formula) |

Description | The moetary costs associated with the holding or storage of inventory items during the reporting period. These costs may include direct expenses relating to items with special storage requirements such as specific refrigeration or isolation as well as general storage costs that are typically allocated across many inventory items. |

Description | The monetary cost of inventory lost to pilferage or otherwise unaccounted for. Inventory that cannot be accounted for through use, waste or returns is included in shrinkage. The extent of shrinkage is typically established in the course of a physical stock audit where any discrepancy between expected or book stock and actual is regarded as shrinkage. |

Description | The monetary cost of inventory lost to expiration, spoilage, accident or breakage. These types of inventory loss must be recorded as inventory transactions otherwise they will be included in the inventory shrinkage as unaccounted for differences. |

Description | The monetary value of any inventory that is within one month of its expiration date at period end. This typically applies to items such as drugs and foodstuffs that can not be safely used beyond a predefined date. As inventory nears its expiration date, the organization may be able to accelerate its use or they may have to write it off as waste. |
