a)
Summary Introduction
To determine: The way to minimize the total net cost incurred in meeting the demands for the next four months.
Introduction: In linear programming, the unbounded solution would occur when the objective function is infinite. If no solution satisfied the constraints, then it is said to be an unfeasible solution.
b)
Summary Introduction
To determine: The lowest total cost when the initial inventory is 100 units.
Introduction: In linear programming, the unbounded solution would occur when the objective function is infinite. If no solution satisfied the constraints, then it is said to be an unfeasible solution.

A logistics company applies the EOQ model to manage its inventory of spare parts
used for maintenance work for their trucks. 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 random
A manufacturer has a production facility that requires 15,604 units of component JY21 per year.
Following a long-term contract, the manufacturer purchases component JY21 from a supplier with a
lead time of 7 days. The unit purchase cost is $25.6 per unit. The cost to place and process an order
from the supplier is $121 per order. The unit inventory carrying cost per year is 10.5 percent of the
unit purchase cost. The manufacturer operates 250 days a year. Assume EOQ model is appropriate. If
the manufacturer uses a constant order quantity of 2,640 units per order, what is the annual holding
cost?
Use at least 4 decimal places.

- Assume the demand for a companys drug Wozac during the current year is 50,000, and assume demand will grow at 5% a year. If the company builds a plant that can produce x units of Wozac per year, it will cost 16x. Each unit of Wozac is sold for 3. Each unit of Wozac produced incurs a variable production cost of 0.20. It costs 0.40 per year to operate a unit of capacity. Determine how large a Wozac plant the company should build to maximize its expected profit over the next 10 years.arrow_forwardAn automotive warehouse stocks a variety of parts that are sold at neighborhoodstores.

- The Delta company uses three raw materials to make cakes. Delta is trying to reduce warehousing costs and establishes three policies to that end: i) The annual number of orders for all products must be at least 20 per contractual terms with transportation providers. ii) The average inventory in units must be a maximum of 1800. iii) Because the raw material is perishable, there can never be more than 2000 units in inventory of raw material 1. Raw material 2 has a maximum allowed of 1200 units and the raw material 3 can store maximum 400 units. The following table shows the product information: Materia Demanda Costos por unidad Costo por prima (u/año) ordenar ($) 2200 2 300 2 500 4 650 3 3000 10 100 Consider an interest rate of 10% per year.

The supplier reliably delivers the chemical by maintaining a constant lead time of 1 week. There are no delivery charges from the supplier. Sales occur throughout the year. An order placement requires one hour of an administrative employee who is paid $20 per hour. Receiving and storing a chemical shipment requires two workers to work for half an hour. Workers are paid $12 per hour each. Chemical’s purchase price is $500 per litre. Annual cost of capital is 5%. Other holding costs are estimated to be $0.5 per litre.

- Jays Office Supplies sells Printers, which it orders from Brands mart Inc in . Because of shipping and handling costs, each order must be for 5 printers. Because of the time it takes to receive an order, the company places an order every time the present stock drops to 5 Printers. It costs $50 to place an order. It costs the company $500 in lost sales when a customer asks for a Printer and the warehouse is out of stock. It costs $100 to keep each Printer stored in the warehouse. If a customer cannot purchase a Printer when it is requested, the customer will not wait until one comes in but will go to a competitor. The following probability distribution for demand for Printer has been determined: Questions 1.Simulate CWD 's ordering and sales policy for 20 weeks 2.

Throughout the morning additional bagels are produced as needed. The last bake is completed at 3 pm, and the store closes at 8 pm. It costs approximately $0.56 in materials and labor to make a bagel. The price of a fresh bagel is $2.29. Bagels not sold by the end of the previous day are sold the next day as "day- old" bagels for $0.15 each. CPG Bagels uses the Newsvendor model to management the inventory of the bagels. The critical ratio %. Report the answer without the percentage sign and keep one decimal in your answer.

The total customer order over a day is 100,000 gallons of milk. This demand is distributed evenly from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm. If there is no milk available, customers will wait until enough is produced to satisfy your orders. The company starts to produce at 8 am with 25,000 gallons in finished goods inventory. In the end, after that all the demand has been met, the plant continues producing until the stock of products finished is restored to 25,000 gallons. When answering the following questions, please address the trucks / milk as a continuous flow process. Start by drawing a graphic indicating how much milk is in stock and how much milk is “on hold” throughout the day. a) At what time of day will customers have to wait for their orders to be filled? b) At what time will customers stop waiting? c) Suppose the milk is collected in trucks with a capacity of 1,250 gallons each.

- In a large microelectronics plant, the assembly cell for circuit boards has a demand for 300 units an hour. Two feeder cells supply partsA and B to the assembly cell (one A and one B for each board). Standard containers that look like divided trays are used. A container will hold 22 As or 13 Bs. It takes 13 minutes to fill up a container with As and 22 minutes to fill up a container with Bs. Transit time to the assembly cell is 5 minutes for both A and B. No safety factor is used.

Sender only sends a product if it has excess inventory to its demand and it occurs to rebalance the inventory among retail locations. Assume that there is a retailer with I stores. There are O products nominated for transshipment. The available inventory rio, i = 1,2, ..., I, o = 1,2, ..., 0, and demand levels dio, i = 1,2, ..., I, o = 1,2, ..., 0, for all O, stores are known. Moreover, the sales prices of these products are known and are the same in all stores, po, o = 1,2, ... 0. There is a transportation cost when a product is sent from a store to another, Cij, i, j = = 1, 2, ... D which is independent for the type of the product. Assume that if a product o is transshipped from store i, all its available inventory, i.e., rio, must be sent to a single store, thus, partial transshipment is not allowed. However, a store can…arrow_forwardJoe is selling Christmas trees to pay his college tuition.He purchases trees for $10 each and sells them for $25each.
