Interpretation:The resulting planned order releases for the valves are to be calculated.
Concept Introduction:
The operational feasibility can be defined as the measurement of the problem solving capacity of the proposed system and it also checks that in which manner this proposed system is satisfying the requirements which are identified in the requirement analysis phase during the system development.

In Lecture 5 we extended the newsvendor solution to the infinite horizon problem when there is no order lead time. Now suppose that the order lead time is L periods throughout the infinite horizon: if an order is placed at the beginning of period t, it arrives at the beginning of period t+L. Can we still extend the newsvendor solution to the infinite horizon problem in the case of backordering? Why or why not? Would your answer change in the case of lost sales? Why or why or not?

For a given store, demand in Week 5 is 375, and on-hand inventory at the end of Week 4 is 450. If the manufacturing lead time for this particular item is two weeks, which of the following statements will be true?
a. The order release for Week 2 will be 450b. The order release for Week 3 will be 0c. The order release for Week 3 will be 375d. The order release for Week 4 will be 0
The table below provides demand data for 11 days (days 10-20 for the current year) for one product for the next 4 questions. The previous order was for 300 units at the end of day 9. The lead time is a constant two days. At the beginning of day 10 the inventory level is 450 units. Orders are made at the end of a day. Suppose inventory is managed with a reorder point system where Q=300 and the reorder point is 250.
