The Kirei-Hana Japanese Steak House in San Francisco consumes 3,000 pounds of sirloin steak each month.Yama Hirai, the new restaurant manager, recently completed an MBA degree. He learned that the steak was replenished using an EOQ value of 2,000 pounds. The EOQ value was computed assuming an interest rate of 36 percent per year. Assume that the current cost of the sirloin steak to the steak house is $4 per pound.a. What is the setup cost used in determining the EOQ value? Mr. Hirai received an offer from a meat wholesaler in which a discount of 5 percentwould be given if the steak house purchased the steak in quantities of 3,000 pounds or more.b. Should Mr. Hirai accept the offer from the wholesaler? If so, how much can be saved?c. Because of Mr. Hirai’s language problems, he apparently misunderstood the offer. In fact, the 5 percent discount is applied only to the amounts ordered over 3,000 pounds. Should this offer be accepted, and if so, how much is now saved?
Northside Auto purchases a component used in the manufacturing of auto-bile generators directly from the supplier. Eastside’s generator production operation, which is operated at a constant rate, will require 1,000 components per month throughout the year (12,000 units annually). Assume that the ordering costs are $25 per order, the unit cost is $2.50 per component, and annual holding costs are 20% ofthe value of the inventory. Eastside has 250 working days per year and a lead timeof 10 days. a. What is the EOQ for this component?b. What is the cycle time?c. What is the reorder point? *Please solve for a-c. Neatly write all your work/steps on paper, NO EXCEL* thank you!
Leaky Pipe, a local retailer of plumbing supplies, faces demand for one of its SKUs at a constant rate of 30,000 units per year. It costs Leaky Pipe $10 to process an order to replenish stock and $1 per unit per year to carry the item in stock. Stock is received 4 working days after an order is placed. No backordering is allowed. Assume 300 working days a year.a. What is Leaky Pipe’s optimal order quantity?b. What is the optimal number of orders per year?c. What is the optimal interval (in working days) between orders?d. What is the demand during the lead time?e. What is the reorder point?f. What is the inventory position immediately after an order has been placed?
Suppose the Motorboat dealership in part (a) above dealing in costly motorboats follows the policy of carrying a few units in stock and ordering for replenishment as soon as a motorboat is sold from the stock. The unit cost of the motorboat is $60,000 and the holding or carrying cost is $5,000 per unit per year. The management of Motorboat dealership believe that the shortage cost due to waiting for the motorboat is $2,000 per unit short per month. The demand is seen to be Poisson distributed with an average rate of 2 units per month and the replenishment lead time can be considered to be exponential with a mean of one month. Considering the system as an M/M/s queuing system, find the optimal stock to be carried which can minimize the sum total of carrying and shortage costs.
Wilson Publishing Company produces books for the retail market. Demand for a current book is expected to occur at a constant annual rate of 7,400 copies. The cost of one copy of the book is $11.50. The holding cost is based on an 18% annual rate, and production setup costs are $150 per setup. The equipment with which the book is produced has an annual production volume of 25,000 copies. Wilson has 250 working days per year, and the lead time for a production run is 15 days. Use the production lot size model to compute the following values. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) (a)Minimum cost production lot size (b)Number of production runs per year (c)Cycle time (d)Length of a production run (in days) days (e)Maximum inventory (f)Total annual cost (in $) $ (g)Reorder point
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?
Legu Bloxs – specialized in the manufacturing of high-rise CHB (concrete hollow blocks). The company makes a yearly order for 2,400 sacks of cement at a unit price of 250.00. Its carrying cost per year is estimated at 5% of the price of concrete block. While the cost of preparing a requisition, a purchase order and receiving tickets, stocking the items when they arrive m processing the supplier’s invoice and remitting the payment to the supplier is 150 per order per year. What is the Total Inventory Cost?
An oil refinery buys crude oil on a long-term supply contract for $22.50 per barrel.When shipments of crude oil are made to the refinery, they arrive at the rate of10,000 barrels per day. The refinery uses the oil at a rate of 5,000 barrels per dayand plans to purchase 500,000 barrels of crude oil next year. If the carrying cost is25percent of acquisition cost per unit per year and the ordering cost is $7,500 perorder:a. What is the EOQ for the crude oil?b. What is the TSC at EOQ?c. How many days of production are supported by each order of crude oil?d. How much storage capacity is needed for the crude oil?
A fish distributor is trying to perfect his business to maximize the money he saves. Daily fish sales are normally distributed with a mean of 250 and standard deviation of 30. The distributor sells each fish for $4.50 and pays $1.65 to buy each fish. The distributor must get rid of unsold fish by paying a waste removal facility fee of $0.25 per fish. How many fish should the distributor order each day and what % of the time will he experience a stock-out? Are there any drawbacks to the order size proposed and how could the fisherman address such issues?
