Question
Consider a product with a daily demand of 500 units, a setup cost per production run of $100, a daily holding cost per unit of $0.20, and an annual production rate of 219,000 units. The firm operates and experiences demand 365 days per year. Suppose that management mistakenly used the basic EOQ model to calculate the batch size instead of using the production order quantity model. How much money per year has that mistake cost the company?

- Tyler decided to open a bakery because everyone he knew told him that his baked goods were "out of this world." He had a little bit of a business school background because he got his Bachelor's from SPS at UIW recently. He remembered his teacher telling him that inventory models can be used for both the raw materials as well as the finished products for a business like his. So, he decided to see if he could use the basic EOQ model for identifying how much quantity to order of raw materials such as eggs, flour, sugar, etc. To get started, he decided to create a model for flour based on the information he had on hand regarding potential costs as follows: Usage per month 100 Ibs Purchase cost $1 per Ib. Order cost $10.00 per order sent Annual Holding Rate 10% of purchase price per Ib. • 52-week year 300 working days per year • Lead time 2 days Fill in the following table based on this information: Optimal Inventory Policy Answer Type 7 Reorder Point r Ibs. 8 Number of Orders Per Year…arrow_forwardUsing the fixed-order-quantity model, which of the following is the total ordering cost of inventory given an annual demand of 25,000 units, a cost per order of $80, and a holding cost per unit per year of $16?arrow_forwardA manufacturer’s annual demand is 6000 units.
