Mama Mia’s Pizza purchases its pizza delivery boxes from a printing supplier. Mama Mia’s
delivers on-average 225 pizzas each month (assume deterministic demand). Boxes cost 43
cents each, and each order costs $12.50 to process. Because of limited storage space, the
manager wants to charge inventory holding at 25 percent of the cost. The lead time is seven
days, and the restaurant is open 360 days per year, assuming 30 days per month. Determine
the economic order quantity, reorder point assuming no safety stock, number of orders per
year, and total annual cost. Plot the cost curves and highlight the EOQ.
The materials manager for a billiard ball maker must periodically place orders for resin, one of the raw materials used in producing billiard balls. She knows that manufacturing uses resin at a rate of 50 kilograms each day, and that it costs $.04 per day to carry a kilogram of resin in inventory. She also knows that the order costs for resin are $100 per order, and that the lead time for delivery is four days.
If the order size was 1,000 kilograms of resin, what would be the average inventory level?
Golden Crust Bakery buys flour in 25-pound bags. The bakery uses an average of 1,215 bags a year. Preparing an order and receiving a shipment of flour involves a cost of $10 per order. Annual holding costs are $75 per bag. Once an order for flour is placed, it takes six (6) days to receive the order from the flour factory. The bakery operates 350 days per year.
Calculate the following:
Economic Order Quantity
Expected number of orders (Order Frequency)
Average inventory
The annual holding cost
The annual ordering cost
The total annual cost of inventory management
Reorder point
If holding costs were to increase by $9 per year, how much would that affect the minimum total annual cost?
