Daily demand for a product is 10 units. The standard deviation of demand during the review and lead time is 20 units. The review period is 30 days and the lead time is 14 days. At the time of review there are 150 units in stock. If the probability of stockout should not exceed 2%, how many units should be ordered?

A product is ordered once each year, and the reorder point without safety stock (dL) is 100 units. Inventory carrying cost is $10 per unit per year, and the cost of a stockout is $50 per year. Given the following demand probabilities during the reorder period, how much safety stock should be carried? DEMAND DURING REORDER PERIOD PROBABILITY 0 .1 50 .2 ROP 100 .4 150 .2 200 .1
Kids’ toys makes an order once each year an the reorder point, without safety stock, is 200 toys. The inventory holding cost is 5$ per toy per year, and cost of stockout is 15$ per toy per year. The following table shows the probability of demand during lead time: Demand during lead time Probability 0 0.05 100 0.15 200 0.35 300 0.25 400 0.2 With a safety stock of 100 toys, the stockout cost is? What is the probability that there is a need to have a safety stock of 100 toys? Explain your answer
A warehouse checks inventory and places an order from a supplier for a particular product once a month. The monthly demand for the product is independent and normally distributed with a mean of 500 and a standard deviation of 100. If the warehouse targets a 90% service level for this product, and the supplier’s lead time is one month, how much safety stock should be held? PLEASE SHOW CALCULATIONS/EXCEL WITH FORMULAS
A company targets a 97% service level for a product with independent weekly demand that is normally distributed with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10. They use a continuous review policy and order from a supplier with a lead time of 3 weeks. What should their reorder point be? PLEASE SHOW CALCULATIONS/EXCEL WITH FORMULAS
The demand faced by CBA company each week is estimated to be normally distributed with a mean of 1000 units and a standard deviation of 250. Lead time of delivery is fixed at 2 weeks. Ordering cost is $800 per order, variable cost per unit ordered is $4, the inventory carrying charge is 20% per year. Assume 50 weeks per year. CBA would like the probability to satisfy customer demand be 95%. Find the (Q,R) policy. If the leadtime is 2 weeks and a standard deviation of 1 week. Find the (Q,R) policy. What is the impact of the weekly demand’s standard deviation on the (Q,R) policy?

A retailer carries 10,000 items in its store. During the week, there is some demand for 6000 of the items. Among those, there are 100 products for which all of the demand was not satisfied and 400 products for which only some of demand was satisfied. a. What is their in-stock probability for this week?b.

Consider two products A and B that have identical cost, retail price and demand parameters and the same short selling season. The newsvendor model is used to manage inventory for both products. Product A is to be discontinued at the end of the season this year, and the leftovers will be salvaged at 65% of the cost. Product B will be re-offered next summer, so any leftovers this year can be carried over to the next year while incurring a holding cost on each leftover unit equal to 20% of the product's cost. How do the stocking quantities for these products compare? Multiple Choice Stocking quantity of product A is higher. Stocking quantity of product B is higher. The answer cannot be determined from the data provided. Stocking quantities are equal.
A department store uses a (Q, R) policy to control its inventories. Sales of a pocket FM radioaverage 1.4 radios per week. The radio costs the store $50.00, and fixed costs of replenishmentamount to $20.00. Holding costs are based on a 20 percent annual interest charge, and thestore manager estimates a $12.50 cost of lost profit and loss of goodwill if the radio is demanded when out of stock. Reorder lead time is 2 weeks, and statistical studies have shownthat demand over the lead time is accurately described by a Poisson distribution. Find the optimallot sizes and reorder points for this item.

A Mercedes dealer purchases vehicles for $20,000. The annual holding cost is estimated to be 25% of the dollar value of inventory. The dealer sells an average of 500 cars per year. He believes that demand is backlogged, but estimates that if he is short one car for one year, he will lose $20,000 in future profits. Each time the dealer places an order for cars, the ordering cost amounts to $10,000. What is the (s, Q) ordering policy that results in a 90% CSL?
