Estimate the effort, time, production and the number of personnel necessary for the development of a Communications system that has a size of 30,000 LDC. In this project there are factors that influence the development and ensure the proper functioning of the system. These are: Complexity of development, staff qualification and advanced knowledge of the language in which it will be developed. Each factor in the order described has a weighted value of 1.15, 0.7 and 0.91 respectively. It is important to mention that the monthly payment per person working in the development is $2,200.
An electronics retailer sells laptops at a steady rate of 7,500 per quarter. It costs the manufacturer $350 tomake each laptop, and they charge $400/laptop to the retailer. The manufacturer produces the laptop at asteady rate that matches demand, and incurs a fixed cost of $2,800 to fulfill each retail order. Both theretailer and the manufacturer have an annual holding cost percentage of 20%. The retailer places 10orders with the laptop manufacturer each quarter (which it determined from an EOQ calculation). What quantity discount should the manufacturer offer the retailer in order to minimize the total supplychain costs?
