A tire store orders its stock for a popular winter tire once every year. The cost of a tire for the store is $120. The store sells a tire for $140 at the regular price. The regular demand per year is 1,000 tires, which is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 70 tires. Customers do not prefer to buy from an older stock; hence the store does not keep the tires for the next year. The store is able to sell the excess stock at a reduced price of $80 per tire. How many tires the store should order each year?

- The Tinkan Company produces one-pound cans for the Canadian salmon industry. Each year the salmon spawn during a 24-hour period and must be canned immediately. Tinkan has the following agreement with the salmon industry. The company can deliver as many cans as it chooses. Then the salmon are caught. For each can by which Tinkan falls short of the salmon industrys needs, the company pays the industry a 2 penalty. Cans cost Tinkan 1 to produce and are sold by Tinkan for 2 per can. If any cans are left over, they are returned to Tinkan and the company reimburses the industry 2 for each extra can. These extra cans are put in storage for next year. Each year a can is held in storage, a carrying cost equal to 20% of the cans production cost is incurred. It is well known that the number of salmon harvested during a year is strongly related to the number of salmon harvested the previous year. In fact, using past data, Tinkan estimates that the harvest size in year t, Ht (measured in the number of cans required), is related to the harvest size in the previous year, Ht1, by the equation Ht = Ht1et where et is normally distributed with mean 1.02 and standard deviation 0.10. Tinkan plans to use the following production strategy. For some value of x, it produces enough cans at the beginning of year t to bring its inventory up to x+Ht, where Ht is the predicted harvest size in year t. Then it delivers these cans to the salmon industry. For example, if it uses x = 100,000, the predicted harvest size is 500,000 cans, and 80,000 cans are already in inventory, then Tinkan produces and delivers 520,000 cans. Given that the harvest size for the previous year was 550,000 cans, use simulation to help Tinkan develop a production strategy that maximizes its expected profit over the next 20 years. Assume that the company begins year 1 with an initial inventory of 300,000 cans.Management at the Kerby Corporation has determined the following aggregated demand schedule (in units):Month 1 2 3 4Demand 500 800 1,000 1,400Month 5 6 7 8Demand 2,000 3,000 2,700 1,500Month 9 10 11 12Demand 1,400 1,500 2,000 1,200An employee can produce an average of 10 units per month. Each worker on the payroll costs $2,000 in regular-time wages per month. Undertime is paid at the same rate as regular time. In accordance with the labor contract in force, Kerby Corporation does not work overtime or use subcontracting. Kerby can hire and train a new employee for $2,000 and lay off one for $500.

Model A uses a 0.4-liter engine, Model B uses a 0.5-liter engine, and Model C uses a 0.6-liter engine. The aggregate production plan is the twelve-month plan that combines all three models together in total monthly production. The planning horizon is twelve months. The APP determines the size of the workforce, which is the constrained resource. Assume that the beginning inventory for January is 120 units (30 units each of Model A and Model B, and 60 units of Model C). The firm desires to have an ending inventory of 160 units at the end of the year. On average, one unit of ATV requires eight labor hours to produce, and a worker contributes 160 hours (8 hours × 5 days × 4 weeks) per month. The data has been collected in the Microsoft Excel Online file attached. Answer the question below: 1. What are the totals of the forecast demand (including inventory adjustment for December), production,…

As part of an expansion plan, FGTY is considering approaching the northern Virginia market through printed product lists (PLs) containing deals, coupons and customers testimonies. The initial plan is to send 200,000 PLs to households in Fairfax and Arlington, expecting new customers to place orders. The company estimates to incur a fixed cost of $30,000 associated with design, printing setup and transportation contracting. Beyond this, the average transportation cost per PL is ¢20, while the printing cost per PL is ¢10. Also, FGTY incurs in an average cost of ¢25 for processing each order placed by a customer using the PL’s promotion codes. The expected size of an order is $50, and FGTY’s variable cost per order (mainly product costs labor) is close to 80% of the order’s average.
