Inventory Management

The supply chain is crucial to a firm's operations as it manages the inflow and outflow of products that are manufactured from the initial stage to the end product. It also considers the raw materials needed at different stages of production and when the work is in progress. Inventory management functions consist of ordering, storing, and procuring the organization's inventory like raw materials, factors, and finished products. It's also used for controlling the number of products for trade and helps manage the organization's inventory and stock. Inventory Management has been defined as having the right inventory, of the right volume, at the right cost.

What effect will decreasing the variability of the service rate have on the performance of the queuing system (all else being the same)? reduce customer average waiting time in the system cannot be determined without additional information while more customers, they arrive at separate times & create a shorter queue the queue moves faster thanks to a faster arrival rate

Single-Queue, Multiple-Channel System Structure (Fig 5.8 in text) Multiple-Queue, Multiple-Channel System Structure (Fig 5.9 in text) 9. An easy way to understand Queuing Model formulas is to understand that L refers to Number of items while W refers to time. q refers to the queue and s refers to the system. So Lq refers to the number of units in the queue (waiting line). Ls refers to the number of items in the system (queue and service). Write out the formulas for the following: a. Average Wait time in the Queue b. Average Wait time in the System c. Average number of units in the Queue d. Average number of units in the System e. System utilization f.
