The unit cost of the motorboat is $60,000 and the holding or carrying cost is $5,000 per unit per year. The management of Motorboat dealership believe that the shortage cost due to waiting for the motorboat is $2,000 per unit short per month. The demand is seen to be Poisson distributed with an average rate of 2 units per month and the replenishment lead time can be considered to be exponential with a mean of one month. Considering the system as an M/M/s queuing system, find the optimal stock to be carried which can minimize the sum total of carrying and shortage costs.K Ruby-Star Incorporated is considering two different vendors for one of its top-selling products which has an average weekly demand of 30 units and is valued at $100 per unit.

Established as a lunch delivery service for offices in 1972 by Wayne and Janet Williams, CKC has grown to be one of the largest catering businesses in Raleigh, North Carolina. The Williams’s divide customer demand into two categories: deliver only and deliver and serve. The deliver-only side of the business delivers boxed meals consisting of a sandwich, salad, dessert, and fruit. The menu for this service is limited to six sandwich selections, three salads or potato chips, and a brownie or fruit bar. Grapes and an orange slice are included with every meal, and iced tea can be ordered to accompany the meals. The overall level of demand for this service throughout the year is fairly constant, although the mix of menu items delivered varies. The planning horizon for this segment of the business is…We run a fresh produce stand at farmer’s market where we sell avocados and artichokes.

- The Uptown Kiln is an importer of ceramics from overseas. It has arranged to purchase a particular type of ceramic pottery from a Korean artisan. The artisan makes the pottery in 120-unit batches and will ship only that exact number of units. The transportation and handling cost of a shipment is $7,600 (not including the unit cost). The Uptown Kiln estimates its annual demand to be 900 units. What storage and handling cost per unit does it need to achieve in order to minimize its inventory cost?Craftwood Furniture Company is a U.S.–based furniture manufacturer that offshored all of its actual manufacturing operations to China about a decade ago. It set up a distribution center in Hong Kong, from which the company ships its items to the United States on container ships. The company learned early on that it could not rely on local Chinese freight forwarders to arrange for sufficient containers for the company’s shipments, so it contracted to purchase containers from a Taiwanese manufacturer and then sell them to shipping companies at the U.S. ports the containers are shipped to. Craftwood needs 715 containers each year. It costs $265 to hold a container at its distribution center, and it costs $6,000 to process and receive an order for the containers. The cost of not having sufficient containers and delaying a shipment is $14,000 per container. Determine the optimal order size, minimum total annual inventory cost, and maximum shortage level.An oil refinery buys crude oil on a long-term supply contract for $22.50 per barrel.When shipments of crude oil are made to the refinery, they arrive at the rate of10,000 barrels per day.
