During the last 5 weeks, demands for a certain SKU at a retailer were 7 units (5 weeks ago), 4 units, 4 units, 4 units, and 5 units (last week). The retailer uses a period review model with order-up-to level 71 units, a review period of 2 weeks, and the lead time is 11 weeks. It is time to order. How much should the retailer order?
Lead time for one of your fastest-moving products is deterministic and equal to 21 days. Demand during this period is normally distributed. The average demand equals 100 units per day. What would be the reorder point under the (Q, R) policy with the required service level being 70%?
A Less than 2100 units
B Equal to 2100 units
C More than 2100 units
D We do not have enough information to decide
Lead time for one of your fastest-moving products is 23 days. Demand during this period averages 105 units per day.

- It takes approximately 2 weeks (14 days) for an order of steel bolts to arrive once the order has been placed. The demand for bolts is fairly constant; on the average, the manager, Michelle Wu, has observed that the hardware store sells 500 of these bolts each day. Because the demand is fairly constant, Michelle believes that she can avoid stockouts completely if she orders the bolts at the correct time. What is the reorder point? The reorder point is? units (enter your response as a whole number).arrow_forwardThe concession stand at the Blacksburg High School stadium sells slices of pizza during soccergames. Concession stand sales are a primary source of revenue for high school athletic programs,so the athletic director wants to sell as much food as possible. However, any pizza notsold is given away to the players, coaches, and referees, or it is thrown away. The athletic directorwants to determine a reorder point that will meet, not exceed, the demand for pizza. Pizzasales are normally distributed, with a mean of 6 pizzas per hour and a standard deviation of2.5 pizzas. The pizzas are ordered from Pizza Town restaurant, and the mean delivery time is30 minutes, with a standard deviation of 8 minutes. Currently, the concession stand places an order when it has 1 pizza left. What level of service does this result in?arrow_forwardLead time for one of your fastest-moving products is 19 days.
