Dart is a product of the Digby company. Digby's sales forecast for Dart is 2067 units. Digby wants to have an extra 10% of units on hand above and beyond their forecast in case sales are better than expected. (They would risk the possibility of excess inventory carrying charges rather than risk lost profits on a stock out.) Taking current inventory into account, what will Dart's Production After Adjustment have to be in order to have a 10% reserve of units available for sale? a. 2053 units b. 2274 units   c. 2260 units   d. 2067 units

Products A,B, and C are sold door-to-door. A costs $ 3 per unit, take 10 minutes to sell (on the average) and costs $0.50 to deliver to customer. B costs $ 5, takes 15 minutes to sell, and is left with the customer at the time of sale. C costs $ 4, takes 12 minutes to sell, and costs $ 1 to deliver. During any week, a salesperson is allowed to draw up to $ 500 worth of A,B,C (at cost) and is allowed delivery expenses not to exceeds $ 75. If a salesperson’s selling time is not expected to exceed 30 hours (1,800 minutes) in a week, and if the salesperson profit (net after all expenses) is $ 1 each on a unit of A and B and $ 2 on a unit of C, what combination of sales of A, B, and C will lead to maximum profit, and what is the maximum profIt?

With a probabilistic​ model, increasing the service level     A. will decrease the level of safety stock level.   B. will increase the cost of the inventory holding.   C. will have no impact on the cost of the inventory policy.   D. will reduce the cost of the inventory holding.

North Dakota Electric Company estimates its demand trend line (in millions of kilowatt hours) to be: D = 77.0 +0.43Q, where Q refers to the sequential quarter number and Q = 1 for winter of Year 1. In addition, the multiplicative seasonal factors are as follows: Quarter Winter Spring Summer Fall In year 26 (quarters 101-104), the energy use for each of the quarters beginning with winter is (round your response to one decimal place): Quarter Winter Factor (Index) 0.80 1.20 1.40 0.60 Spring Summer Fall Energy Use

An automotive warehouse stocks a variety of parts that are sold at neighborhood stores. One particular part, a popular brand of oil filter, is purchased by the warehouse for $1.50 each. It is estimated that the cost of order processing and receipt is $100 per order. The company uses an inventory carrying charge based on a 28 percent annual interest rate. The monthly demand for the filter follows a normal distribution with mean 280 and standard deviation 77. Order lead time is assumed to be five months. Assume that if a filter is demanded when the warehouse is out of stock, then the demand is back-ordered, and the cost assessed for each back-ordered demand is $12.80. Determine the following quantities: The optimal values of the order quantity and the reorder level. The average annual cost of holding, setup, and stock-out associated with this item assuming that an optimal policy is used. Evaluate the cost of uncertainty for this process. That is, compare the average annual cost you…

Inventory can be very expensive for firms to hold and manage. One measure of how effective a firm is at managing their inventory is the inventory sales ratio (inventory/sales). Assume a firm has quarterly sales of 1 million and inventory is normally distributed with a mean of $500k and a standard deviation of $100k. simulate the expected inventory to sales ratio for 10,000 iterations.   What is the expected mean inventory to sales ratio? What is the probability that the inventory sales ratio is less than 0.5?

You are the president of XYZ Manufacturing company. You have recently learned about the following issue: A month ago, the company’s general manager (GM) told one of the line managers to produce an extra 15,000 units of a product so that there would be inventory in stock for the next time the item is ordered. Last week, the GM scolded the line manager for having 15,000 units of the item in stock. The GM told the line manager that producing excess inventory costs the company money and should never be done. The GM then puts the line manager on a performance plan. This is not the first time you have heard about the GM telling an employee to do one thing only to criticize him or her for doing it later. This employee feels very frustrated by this, but does not want to make a formal complaint because she has seen other employees lose their jobs or get demoted for questioning the GM. Create an outline that proposes a leadership solution to this issue. The outline should address the following:…
