- Royal Meat Processing Company buys and processes livestock for sale to supermarkets. In connection with the audit of the company’s financial statements, you have prepared the following notes based on your review of inventory procedures: 1. Each livestock buyer submits a daily report of his or her purchases to the plant superintendent. This report shows the dates of purchase and expected delivery, the vendor and the number, and weights and type of livestock purchased, as shipments are received, any available plant employee counts the number of each type received and places a check mark beside this quantity on the buyer’s report. 2. Vendors’ invoices, after a clerical review, we sent to the appropriate buyer for approval and returned to the accounting department. A disbursement voucher and a check for the approved amount the prepared in the accounting department. Checks are forwarded to the treasurer for signature.

If Hinsdale cannot have stockout in more than 10% of the time in any order, how much safety stock should be maintainec and at what reorder point? Calculate Hinsdale's safety stock and reorder point for three other SKUS under the following conditions of demand and lead time: A) SKU F5402: daily demand is normally distributed with a mean of 16, standard deviation of 4, lead time is 4 days, and must operate at a 95% service level Calculate Hinsdale's safety stock and reorder point for three other SKUS under the following conditions of demand and lead time: 1.

- The amount of denim used daily by the Western Jeans Company in its manufacturing process to make jeans is normally distributed, with an average of 3,000 yards of denim and a standard deviation of 600 yards. The lead time required to receive an order of denim from the textile mill is a constant 6 days. Determine the safety stock and reorder point if the Western Jeans Company wants to limit the probability of a stockout and work stoppage to 5%.arrow_forwardThe materials manager for a billiard ball maker must periodically place orders for resin, one of the raw materials used in producing billiard balls. She knows that manufacturing uses resin at a rate of 50 kilograms each day, and that it costs $.04 per day to carry a kilogram of resin in inventory. She also knows that the order costs for resin are $100 per order, and that the lead time for delivery is four days. If the order size was 1,000 kilograms of resin, what would be the average inventory level?arrow_forwardIt’s your responsibility, as the new head of the automotive section of Nichols Department Store, to ensure that reorder quantities for the various items have been correctly established. You decide to test one item and choose Michelin tires, XW size 185 x 14 BSW. A perpetual inventory system has been used, so you examine this, as well as other records, and come up with the following data. Cost per tire $55 each Holding cost 15 percent of tire cost per year Demand 1,180 per year Ordering cost $ 36 per order Standard deviation of daily demand 7 tires Delivery lead time 8 days Because customers generally do not wait for tires but go elsewhere, you decide on a service probability of 95 percent.

- Holstein Computing manufactures an inexpensive audio card (Audio Max) for assembly into several models of its microcomputers. The annual demand for this part is 100,000 units. The annual inventory carrying cost is $5 per unit and the cost of preparing an order and making production setup for the order is $750. The company operates 250 days per year. The machine used to manufacture this part has a production rate of 2000 units per day. Please keep two digits after the decimal and don't omit 0 before the decimal, e.g., 0.78 1. How many orders are produced in a year? 2. What is the maximum inventory for Audio Max? 3. How long is the production run for each order? 4. What is the total annual cost of preparing the orders and making the setups for Audio Max?arrow_forwardPowered by Koffee (PBK) is a new campus coffee store. PBK uses 50 bags of whole bean coffee every month, and you may assume that demand is perfectly steady throughout the year. PBK has signed a year-long contract to purchase its coffee from a local supplier, Phish Roasters, for a price of $25 per bag and an $85 fixed cost for every delivery independent of the order size. The holding cost due to storage is $1 per bag per month. PBK managers figure their cost of capital is approximately 2 percent per month. a. What is the optimal order size, in bags? b. Given your answer in (a), how many times a year does PBK place orders? c. Given your answer in (a), how many months of supply of coffee does PBK have on average? d. On average, how many dollars per month does PBK spend to hold coffee (including cost of capital)? Suppose that a South American import/export company has offered PBK a deal for the next year. PBK can buy a year's worth of coffee directly from South America for $20 per bag…arrow_forwardBest Buy is concerned about its inventory of Sony Magnolia 85” 4K Ultra HD TVs.

- The Talbot Company uses electrical assemblies to produce an array of small appliances. One of the assemblies, the XO-01, has an estimated annual demand of 11,000 units. The cost to place an order for these assemblies is $500, and the holding cost for each assembly unit is approximately $20 per year. The company has 320 workdays per year. What is the economic order quantity (EOQ) for the XO-01? (Round your answer to the nearest whole unit.) The EOQ is units. What is the annual inventory holding cost of the XO-01 if Talbot Co. uses the EOQ for orders? (Round your answer to the nearest cent, i.e., two decimal places.) The annual inventory holding cost is $ per year. If they use the EOQ for orders, what is the cycle length (time between orders) for the XO-01? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number of workdays.) The cycle length is workdays.

Suppose also that order quantities and lead times are related; the smaller the order quantity the shorter the lead time from suppliers. Assume that all members of the supply chain use a continuous review system and EOQ order quantities. Explain the implications of the new information system for the supply chain in general and the inventory systems of the supply chain members in particular.arrow_forwardTyler decided to open a bakery because everyone he knew told him that his baked goods were “out of this world.” He had a little bit of a business school background because he got his Bachelor’s from SPS at UIW recently. He remembered his teacher telling him that inventory models can be used for both the raw materials as well as the finished products for a business like his. So, he decided to see if he could use the basic EOQ model for identifying how much quantity to order of raw materials such as eggs, flour, sugar, etc. To get started, he decided to create a model for flour based on the information he had on hand regarding potential costs as follows: Usage per month 100 lbs Purchase cost $1 per lb. Order cost $10.00 per order sent Annual Holding Rate 10% of purchase price per lb. 52-week year 300 working days per year Lead time 2 days Write a sentence explaining how Tyler should plan on ordering the flour for his bakery: how much to order and when to order (from the first…arrow_forward
