It is purchased from a wholesaler at a cost of $12.50 per unit. You are using a continuous review system to control this inventory. The supply lead time is 4 weeks. Placingan order costs $50, and the inventory carrying rate per year is 20 percent of the item’s cost. Your firm operates 5 days per week, 50 weeks per year.a. What is the optimal ordering quantity for this item?b. How many units of the item should be maintained as safety stock for 99 percent protection against stockouts during an order cycle?c. If supply lead time can be reduced to 2 weeks, what is the percent reduction in the number of units maintained as safety stock for the same 99 percent stockout protection?d. If through appropriate sales promotions, the demand variability is reduced so that the standard deviation of weekly…
A manufacturer buys cardboard boxes from a supplier. The annual demand is 40,000 boxes and is uniformly distributed. The boxes cost $5 each. The estimated order cost is $10, and the carrying cost rate is 20% per year. What is the EOQ and what is the annual order and carrying cost? How many times a year are orders placed, and what is the average time, in weeks, between orders? Using the answer from (b), if you round the average time between orders to the nearest week, what should the order quantity be? Would you recommend using this order quantity and time interval? Suppose that the actual demand turns out to be 80,000 boxes instead of 40,000 boxes.If you had used the EOQ from the (a), what would be the annual order and carrying cost be?
Golden Crust Bakery buys flour in 25-pound bags. The bakery uses an average of 1,215 bags ayear. Preparing an order and receiving a shipment of flour involves a cost of $10 per order.Annual holding costs are $75 per bag. Once an order for flour is placed, it takes six (6) days toreceive the order from the flour factory. The bakery operates 350 days per year.Calculate the following:(i) Economic Order Quantity(ii) Expected number of orders (Order Frequency)(iii) Average inventory(iv) The annual holding cost(v) The annual ordering cost(vi) The total annual cost of inventory management(vii) Reorder point(viii) If holding costs were to increase by $9 per year, how much would thataffect the minimum total annual cost?
Do you think the safety stock (safety inventory) could be negative? What is the meaning of a negative safety inventory (hint: safety stock is the difference between the optimal inventory and the average demand)?
Daily demand for product sample kits is normally distributed with a mean of 35 units and a standard deviation of 4. Supply is virtually certain with a lead time of 9 days. The cost of placing an order is $20, and annual carrying costs for one kit is 25 percent. The price of one kit is $12.50. Assume a year has 365 days.If a 99% service level is desired, what is average inventory on hand? If demand had no variation, what would the reorder point be?
Alina Limited is a manufacturer of widgets orders components for use in manufacturing. The estimated demand for the components during the coming year is 15,000. Order costs are $100 per order; carrying costs are $12 per component. Using the economic order quantity model What is Alina Ltd’s optimum order quantity? If the supplier guarantees a three (3) day delivery on any order that is placed, What is the re-order point?
Fisk Corporation is trying to improve its inventory control system and has installed an online computer at its retail stores. Fisk anticipates sales of 97,200 units per year, an ordering cost of $4 per order, and carrying costs of $1.50 per unit. What is the economic ordering quantity?

H & K Electronic Warehouse sells a 12-pack of AAA batteries, and this is a very popular item. Demand for this is normally distributed, with an average of 50 packs per day and a standard deviation of 16. The average delivery time is 5 days, with a standard deviation of 2 days. Delivery time has been found to be normally distributed. A 96% service level is desired. What is the standard deviation of demand during the lead time? How much safety stock should be carried, and what should be the reorder point
A company operates for 50 weeks a year and uses a fixed quantity inventory system for one of its most important items. Below are the characteristics for the item: Weekly demand follows normal distribution: mean of 400 units and standard deviation of 100 units Order Cost = $40 per order Annual Holding cost = $2/unit/year Desired service level = 95% (z = 1.645) Lead Time = 4 weeks Economic Order Quantity (EOO) = 894 units Now suppose that the management is considering switching to a fixed time inventory system where the time between orders is 2 weeks. Everything else being the same as the information provided for the original problem, which system (Q or P system) is likely to have more safety stock? Please explain why.
During the last 5 weeks, demands for a certain SKU at a retailer were 7 units (5 weeks ago), 4 units, 4 units, 4 units, and 5 units (last week). The retailer uses a period review model with order-up-to level 71 units, a review period of 2 weeks, and the lead time is 11 weeks. It is time to order. How much should the retailer order?
A pharmacist is trying to determine the inventory order and stock levels for a particular drug. The following information is available about the drug. Demand (D) 85 tablets/week Working weeks per year 52 weeks Unit holding cost per year (H) $6 Order cost (S) $44/order Standard deviation of weekly demand (sd) 15 tablets Lead time (L) 2 weeks Desired cycle service level 95% If the pharmacist uses the continuous review (Q) system to control the inventory of the drug, what would be the order quantity and reorder point? If the pharmacist uses the periodic review (P) system to control the inventory of the drug, what would be the review interval and target inventory level? (Hint: Use the EOQ model to derive the review interval P)
Green Grass Industries Limited (GGIL) has used a fixed-time period inventory system that involved taking a complete inventory count of all items each month.
