Question
Consider a periodic review system, where orders are placed every 21 days. The firm strives to provide a 94.41% cycle service level. Demand averages
415 units per day, and the standard deviation of demand per day is 107 units. Lead time is 10 days (round Z-values, standard deviations to two decimal places).
a. How many units of safety stock should be held?
units (round your response to the nearest integer).
b. What should the target inventory level (order-up-to level) be?
units (round your response to the nearest integer).
c. Suppose that it is time to review the item. There are
units (round your response to the nearest integer).
158 units in inventory, and there is an outstanding backorder for
472 units. An order for 113 units is on the way. How many units should be ordered now?

Suppose that just prior to ordering, a check of rolls of gauze bandages shows that there are 40 currently on hand. Suppose also that these rolls have a daily usage that is approximately normal with a mean of 9 rolls and a standard deviation of 4 rolls. Lead time is 4 days and the desired service level is 98 percent. The order interval is 12 days. What's the expected demand during the order interval and lead time? 33 rolls 53 rolls 137 rolls 144 rolls What would have been the desired service level if an order quantity of 142 rolls were placed when the stock on hand is 30 rolls?

- NEED ALL THREE QUESTIONS Item X is a standard item stocked in a company's inventory of component parts. Each year the firm, on a random basis, uses about 2,700 of item X, which costs $25 each. Storage costs, which include insurance and cost of capital, amount to $9 per unit of average inventory. Every time an order is placed for more item X, it costs $6. a. Whenever item X is ordered, what should the order size be? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) b. What is the annual cost for ordering item X? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) c.
