Chapter 15, Problem 1DQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: How independent demand inventories differ from the dependent demand inventories.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
In the case of independent demand inventories:
- The planning is based on meeting customer requirements, as happens in a retail store.
- The quantity to be ordered is based largely on past demand.
- The priority of the plan for the inventory planning of various items is based on an ABC or Pareto analysis, which focuses on the more important items.
- Normally, the ordering process is commenced when the inventory level reaches a predetermined ordering point.
- It generally covers only finished goods.
The planning for dependent demand inventories is based:
- On the requirements as determined by a master production
schedule , which typically occurs in a manufacturing plant. - The quantity is based on the requirements of the succeeding process or operation.
- The plan covers all the items and there is no question of ignoring less important items in terms of value.
- It covers also raw materials and work-in-progress.

- Your head of division has asked you to evaluate the alternatives for producing newly designed jig on milling machine. He gives you the following facts: An old milling machine valued at RM 150,000 exists in the warehouse that can be modified for the new jig. The production line supervisor has given an estimate of RM 25,000 to modify this machine. It is hoped that the milling machine will be able to meet production requirements at full capacity. Another vendor, CARE Sdn Bhd, has produced the machine five years ago and can easily do the same modifications for RM45,000. The cooling system used for this machine is not environmentally safe and would require some disposal costs. CARE Sdn Bhd has offered to build a new milling machine to be more environmental friendly and a higher capacity for a price RM250,00. For this scenario: (a) Define the problem statement.
