During the past year the mean weekly demand for a special type of tubing was 186 packages of this tubing with a standard deviation of 13 packages of tubing. The lead time for receiving this tubing from the supplier is 1.5 weeks. Peter would like to maintain a 95% service level and places an order for 750 packages every time an order is placed. d) If the weekly demand is 186 and there is a 1.5 week lead time - what is the reorder point (99% service level)? e) If the carrying cost per year is $0.50/unit/year - what is the additional cost associate with the 99% service level compared to 95% service level (i.e. cost of safety stock at 99% level - cost of safety stock at 95% service level)?arrow_forward

The cost of placing an order is $125, and the time from ordering to receipt is four weeks. The annual inventory carrying cost is $0.80 per unit. To provide a 98 percent service probability, what must the reorder point be? Suppose the production manager is told to reduce the safety stock of this item by 125 units. If this is done, what will the new service probability be?arrow_forward
