You are conducting a retrospective analysis for an Order-Up-To system with delivery lead time of 4 weeks (thus, the unsold inventory at the end of a week is carried over to the next week). The beginning inventory in week 4 is 200 units, and you have in-transit orders (yet to be delivered) placed in week 1, 2, and 3 of the amounts 120, 110, 100, respectively. If you set an order-up-to level of 650 units, then the order quantity in week 4 is 0 units (no order) 90 units 120 units 130 units 450 units none of the above

Starbucks has a large, global supply chain that must efficiently supply over 17,000 stores. Although the stores might appear to be very similar, they are actually very different. Depending on the location of the store, its size, and the profile of the customers served, Starbucks management configures the store offerings to take maximum advantage of the space available and customer preferences. Starbucks’ actual distribution system is much more complex, but for the purpose of our exercise let’s focus on a single item that is currently distributed through five distribution centers in the United States. Our item is a logo branded coffeemaker that is sold at some of the larger retail stores. The coffeemaker has been a steady seller over the years due to its reliability and rugged construction. Starbucks does not consider this a seasonal product, but there is some variability in demand. Demand for the product over the past 18 weeks is shown in the following table. (week −1 is the…

At The Fresh Connection, the supply chain manager, has just chosen to change all of the stock levels for finished goods. This is in an attempt to improve service levels to customers. He has set a new safety stock and production interval for all finished products. As the operations manager, it is your task to find out how much space you need in your finished goods warehouse. In an effort to simplify the system, the supply chain manager has set the safety stocks for all 6 finished goods to 3 weeks and the production interval of all finished goods to 1 weeks (or 5 days). The production interval is the time between production runs of a given product. At The Fresh Connection, you measure stocks in terms of weeks of demand. Currently you can store 600 units of 1 liter cartons on a pallet and 1440 units of 0.3 liter PET bottles on a pallet. Your average weekly demand for all the products combined, in 1 liter cartons is 155000. This means that the sum of all one liter products that flow…

With the rise of e-commerce and m-commerce, this conflict is likely to continue, as more and more companies are finding ways of making their products accessible online and on mobile apps. How insurance companies can manage this conflict? What startegies they should have, except One strategy to manage this conflict is to follow in Allstate’s footsteps by pairing local agents with each online transaction (Stackpole, 2001). Even if the agent’s interaction in the process is minimal, they are still afforded the commission (Stackpole, 2001). This strategy is a win-win situation: customers have the option of purchasing insurance online and enjoying the ease with which that can occur while insurance agents will still receive their commission. Another strategy to manage this conflict could be to use exclusive offerings. Kawasaki chose to sell only accessories on its website, so as not to impede business at its retailers (Stackpole, 2001). Insurance companies could employ a similar strategy by…
