It is your responsibility, as the new head of the automotive section of Nichols Department Store, to ensure that reorder quantities for the various items have been correctly established. You decide to test one item and choose Michelin tires, XW size 185 × 14 BSW. A perpetual inventory system has been used, so you examine this as well as other records and come up with the following data: Cost per tire $35 each Holding cost 20 percent of tire cost per year Demand 1,000 per year Ordering cost $20 per order Standard deviation of daily demand 3 tires Delivery lead time 4 days Because customers generally do not wait for tires but go elsewhere, you decide on a service probability of 98 percent. Assume the demand occurs 365 days per year. Determine the order quantity. Note: Round your answer to the nearest whole number. Determine the reorder point. Note: Use Excel's NORM.S.INV() function to find the z value. Round z value to 2 decimal places and final answer to the…
Daily demand for product sample kits is normally distributed with a mean of 35 units and a standard deviation of 4. Supply is virtually certain with a lead time of 9 days. The cost of placing an order is $20, and annual carrying costs for one kit is 25 percent. The price of one kit is $12.50. Assume a year has 365 days.If a 99% service level is desired, what is average inventory on hand? If demand had no variation, what would the reorder point be?
