A hospital must order the drug Porapill from the manufacturer of the drug. It costs $500 to place an order. Annual demand for the drug is normally distributed with mean 10,000 and standard deviation 3000, and it costs $5 to hold one unit in inventory for one year. (A unit is a standard container for the drug.) Orders arrive one month after being placed. Assume that all shortages are backlogged. a. What (R,Q) policy should the company use if it wants to meet 95% of all customer demand from existing inventory? b. Suppose the company could pay C dollars per year to decrease its lead time per order from one month to half a month. What is the most it would be willing to pay to do this (and still have a 95% service level)?

Inventory Control and Planning Lehen Vinters imports a certain brand of beer. The demand, which may be assumed to be uniform, is 1,250,000 cases/year. The cost of ordering a shipment of beer is $500, and the cost of storing each case of beer for a year is $2. Determine how many cases of beer should be in each shipment if the ordering and storage costs are to be kept at a minimum. (Assume that each shipment of beer arrives just as the previous one has been sold.)
PART I. CONFIDENCE INTERVAL ESTIMATION 1. The diameter of holes for a cable harness is known to have a normal distribution with a standard deviation of 0.01 inch. A random sample of size 10 yields an average diameter of 1.5045 inch. a. Find a 99% two-sided confidence interval on the mean hole diameter. b.

An article in the Journal of Composite Materials (December 1989, Vol. 23, p. 1200) describes the effect of delamination on the natural frequency of beams made from composite laminates. Five such delaminated beams were subjected to loads, and the resulting frequencies (in hertz) were as follows: 230.66 233.05 232.58 229.48 232.58 a. Calculate a 99% two-sided confidence interval on mean natural frequency. 3. The fraction of defective integrated circuits produced in a photolithography process is being studied.

In a continuous review inventory system, the lead time for doorknobs is 5 weeks. The standard deviation of demand during thelead time is 85 units. The desired cycle-service level is 99 per-cent. The supplier of door knobs streamlined its operations andnow quotes a one-week lead time. How much can safety stockbe reduced without reducing the 99 percent cycle-service level?

Two machines are currently in use in a process at a local manufacturing plant. The standards for this process are LSL = .400 and USL=.403. Machine One is currently producing with mean =.401 and a standard deviation= .0004. Machine Two is currently producing with mean = .4015 and a standard deviation = .0005. Which of the two machines is capable based on the capability index?
Bottles for room spray are supposed to weigh exactly 16 oz. Inspectors want to develop process control charts. They take o7 boxes of five bottles each and weigh them. They obtain the following data. The mean weights of each of the 07 samples are 14.6,16.5,18.1,13.2,16,15.9, and 14.8 respectively. Likewise, the range values for the each of 07 samples are o.7,0.5, 0.4,0.2,0.4,0.5, and o.9 respectively. Ebr the X-bar charts and R-charts, the Parameters, A2, D3 and D4 are respectively.

A work measurement analyst at the Dorben Company took 10 observations of a high-production job. He rated the performance of each cycle and then calculated the average normal time for each item. The item with the largest dispersion had a mean of 0.30 minutes and a standard deviation of 0.03 minutes. If it is desired to have sample data within ±5% of the actual data, how many observations should the time study analyst take of this operation?
