Daily demand is normally distributed. The average daily demand is 10 units, with a standard deviation of 5 units. The EOQ is found to be 400 units and used as the order size for all orders. Order lead time is 4 days. Currently, the firm has just received an order. In how many days do they need to place the next order? 4 days 36 days 40 days None of the above. Demand is random, so the time until they reach the ROP again is also randomZara's success relies on keeping a significant amount of its production in-house and making sure that its own factories reserve 85 percent of their capacity for in-season adjustments. In-house production allows the organization to be flexible in the amount, frequency, and variety of new products to be launched. Zara employ this inventory method which reduces inventory costs and requires them to forecast demand accurately.
