The Farmer’s Wife is a country store specializing in knickknacks suitable for a farm-house décor. One item experiencing a considerable buying frenzy is a miniature Holstein cow. Average weekly demand is 30 cows, with a standard deviation of 5 cows. The cost to place a replenishment order is $15 and the holding cost is $0.75/cow/year. The supplier, however, is inChina. The lead time for new orders is 8 weeks, with a standard deviation of 2 weeks. The Farmer’s Wife, which is open only 50 weeks a year, wants to develop a continuous review inventory system for this item with a cycle-service level of 90 percent.a. Specify the continuous review system for the cows. Explain how it would work in practice.b. What is the total annual cost for the system you developed?
Anglo American Platinum uses ABC analysis as an inventory categorisation method. The current inventory ordering policy is to order 10 000 units of an ‘A’-item inventory when the level falls to 4 500 units. Forecast demand to meet production requirements during the next year is 62 500 units. The cost of placing and processing an order relating to this inventory item is R250, while the cost of holding a unit in store is R50 per unit per year. You anticipate that both costs will be constant during the next year. Orders are received two weeks after being placed with the supplier. Assume a 50-week year and that demand is constant throughout the year. Using a quantitative analysis, appraise the optimality of the current ordering policy of the ‘A’-item inventory (Show all calculations).
