First Printing has contracts with legal firms in San Francisco to copy their court documents. Daily demand is almost constant at 9,900 pages of documents. The lead time for paper delivery is normally distributed with a mean of 1 day and a standard deviation of 1 day. A 95% service level is expected. Compute First's ROP. Refer to the standard normal table for z-values. The reorder point is documents (round your response to the nearest whole number).

A store sells university coffee mugs. Daily demand is 25 mugs with a standard deviation of 4 mugs per day. Each mug costs $7.85. Ordering costs are $11. The carrying costs are $2 per year. The store is open 250 days per year. Lead time is 6 days with a standard deviation of 1.6 days. Desired service level is 98%. Calculate the EOQ (round your answer to the nearest whole number) 2. CAREFUL! YOUR NUMBERS HAVE CHANGED A store sells university logo hats. Daily demand is 22 hats with a standard deviation of 4 hats per day. Each hat costs $7.85. Ordering costs are $12. The carrying costs are $1 per year. The store is open 250 days per year. Lead time is 4 days with a standard deviation of 1.6 days. Desired service level is 98%. Calculate the ROP with safety stock.
Consider a periodic review system, where orders are placed every 20 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 105 units. Lead time is 12 days (round Z-values, standard deviations to two decimal places). Question content area bottom Part 1 a. How many units of safety stock should be held? enter your response here units (round your response to the nearest integer). b. What should the target inventory level (order-up-to level) be? enter your response here units (round your response to the nearest integer). c. Suppose that it is time to review the item. There are 152 units in inventory, and there is an outstanding backorder for 455 units. An order for 129 units is on the way. How many units should be ordered now? enter your response here units (round your response to the nearest integer).
Annual demand for a product is 11,440 units; weekly demand is 220 units with a standard deviation of 80 units. The cost of placing an order is $85, and the time from ordering to receipt is four weeks. The annual inventory carrying cost is $0.65 per unit. a. To provide a 99 percent service probability, what must the reorder point be? (Use Excel's NORMSINV() function to find the correct critical value for the given α-level. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round "z" value to 2 decimal places and final answer to the nearest whole number.) What is the reorder point? ______________ b. Suppose the production manager is told to reduce the safety stock of this item by 90 units. If this is done, what will the new service probability be? (Use Excel's NORMSDIST() function to find the correct probability for your computed Z-value. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) What is the service probability? _________
The Strawberry Bread Company buys and then sells (as bread) 2.6 million bushels of wheat annually. The wheat must be purchased in multiples of 2,000 bushels. Ordering costs, which include grain elevator removal charges of P3,500, are P5,000 per order. Annual carrying costs are 2 percent of the purchase price of P5 per bushel. The company maintains a safety stock of 200,000 bushels. The delivery time is 6 weeks. What is the EOQ? What are the total inventory costs, including the costs of carrying the safety stock? The wheat processor agrees to pay the elevator removal charges if Strawberry Bread will purchase wheat in quantities of 650,000 bushels. Would it be to Strawberry Bread's advantage to order under this alternative?

Usage appears normally distributed with a standard deviation of 2 rolls per day. The cost of ordering tape is $1, and carrying costs are 40 cents per roll a year. Lead time is three days. a. What is the EOQ? b. What ROP will provide a service level of 95 percent? c. What would be the ROP for the tape if the lead time has a standard deviation of 1 days?
