Rafiki Bar uses 10,000 cases of millet beer monthly. One case costs Shs.5,000. Holding cost is 30% of the cost of a case p.a while ordering cost is Shs.100,000 per order. The firm works 360 days in a year while lead time is 6 days. Required: ii. Determine the days between orders and the reorder point iii. Determine the total cost of the inventory policy iv. Suppose actual holding cost turns out to be 15% instead of 30% and the inventory policy above is implemented for a year, determine the cost of prediction error if every other parameter estimate turns out as predicted.
If Sarah wants to minimize inventory holding and ordering costs, how much Palm oil should she purchase with each order (in kgs)?
A local service station is open 7 days per week, 365 days per year. Sales of 10W40 grade premium oil average 20 cans per day. Inventory holding costs are $0.50 per can per year. Ordering costs are $10 per order. The lead time is two weeks. Backorders are not practical— the motorist drives away.a. Based on these data, choose the appropriate inventory model and calculate the economic order quantity and reorder point. Describe in a sentence how the plan would work. Hint: Assume demand is deterministic.b. The boss is concerned about this model because the demand really varies. The standarddeviation of demand was determined from a data sample to be 6.15 cans per day. Themanager wants a 99.5 percent service probability. Determine a new inventory planbased on this information and the data in part (a). Use Qopt from part (a).
In the past, Taylor Industries has used a fixed−time period inventory system that involved taking a complete inventory count of all items each month. However, increasing labor costs are forcing Taylor Industries to examine alternative ways to reduce the amount of labor involved in inventory stockrooms, yet without increasing other costs, such as shortage costs. Here is a random sample of 20 of Taylor's items.
