Carol Cagle has a repetitive manufacturing plantproducing trailer hitches in Arlington, Texas. The plant hasan average inventory turnover of only 12 times per year. Shehas therefore determined that she will reduce her componentlot sizes. She has developed the following data for one component, the safety chain clip:Annual demand = 31,200 unitsDaily demand = 120 unitsDaily production (in 8 hours) = 960 unitsDesired lot size (1 hour of production) = 120 unitsHolding cost per unit per year = $12Setup labor cost per hour = $20How many minutes of setup time should she have her plantmanager aim for regarding this component?
Which of the following will have lesser bullwhip effect in a supply chain?
Supply Chain co-ordination
Opening more stocking points closer to the point of consumption
Empowering the lower echelons of the inventory to take decisions on fulfilling the demand
All of the above

- Please explain me in brief about Pros and Cons of Re-Order Point Control and Re-Order Cycle Control Inventory control Systems.arrow_forwardConsider a continuous review inventory system. Demand is normally distributed with an average of 28,000 per month and a monthly standard deviation of 4900 units. Lead time is 3 weeks (assume four weeks per month) (round Z-values, standard deviations to two decimal places). If the firm desires a(n) 90% cycle service level, it should hold enter your response here units of safety stock (round your response to the nearest integer).arrow_forwardCarol Cagle has a repetitive manufacturing plant producing trailer hitches in Arlington, Texas.

- YOZECH Enterprise is frequently losing sales due to stock-outs. To avoid this problem, the owner likes to implement a new system of maintaining an inventory level which will include a safety stock. After looking into the past records of the company, it was determined that the normal usage during the lead time of 12 days is 120 units while the maximum usage is 150 units for 15 days. Based on the given information, what should be the safety stock of YOZECH Enterprise? What is the ROP (Re-order point)?arrow_forwardThe daily demand for printer paper at the School of Business is approximately normal with a mean of 15.2 boxes and a standard deviation of 1.6 per day. The Administrative Assistant reviews the inventory every 30 days, and the lead time is 5 days. The division set a policy of satisfying 96% of the demand for paper. If there are 125 boxes of printer paper in inventory at the beginning of this review period, how many boxes of printer paper should be ordered? What is the variance of demand during the review period plus the lead-time period? What is the standard deviation of demand during the review period plus the lead-time period? A. Variance = 76.80 Standard deviation = 8.76 B. Variance = 89.60 Standard deviation = 9.47 C. Variance = 9.47 Standard deviation = 89.60 D. Variance = 12.8 Standard deviation = 3.58arrow_forwardBrenda opened a pool and spa store in a lively shopping mall and finds business to be booming but she often stocks out of key items customers want. The 28-ounce bottle of Super Algaecide (SA) is a high margin SKU, but it stocks out frequently. Ten SA bottles come in each box, and she orders boxes from a vendor 160 miles away. Brenda is busy running the store and seldom has time to review store inventory status and order the right quantity at the right time. She collected the following data: Demand = 10 boxes per week Store open = 48 weeks/year Order cost = $36/order Lead-time = 5 weeks Item cost = $72/box Std. deviation in weekly demand = 6 Inventory-holding cost = 25 percent per year Service level = 90 percent Brenda wants to consider setting up a fixed-period inventory system for the 28-ounce bottle of Super Algaecide (SA) SKU.

She suggested to her employer to adopt it. The company sells 20,000 pieces of specialty ceramic items each year. Traditionally, they have produced these items four times a year, making 5,000 pieces at a time. They carry no safety stock as customers do not mind waiting for orders. The average piece of ceramic items costs P400 to make and costs the company P20 to carry in inventory for a year. The set up costs for each production run total P80. The company should a. Continue the existing system due to P38,950 advantage. b. Adopt EOQ due to savings of P35,675. c. Adopt EOQ due to savings of P42,320. d. Continue the existing system due to P41,820 advantage.arrow_forwardHolstein Computing manufactures an inexpensive audio card (Audio Max) for assembly into several models of its microcomputers. The annual demand for this part is 100,000 units. The annual inventory carrying cost is $5 per unit and the cost of preparing an order and making production setup for the order is $750. The company operates 250 days per year. The machine used to manufacture this part has a production rate of 2000 units per day. Please keep two digits after the decimal and don't omit 0 before the decimal, e.g., 0.78 1. How many orders are produced in a year? 2. What is the maximum inventory for Audio Max? 3.

- The manager of the Quick Stop Corner Convenience Store (which never closes) sells four cases of Stein beer each day. Order costs are $8.00 per order, and Stein beer costs $.80 per six-pack (each case of Stein beer contains four six-packs). Orders arrive three days from the time they are placed. Daily holding costs are equal to 5 percent of the cost of the beer.If he were to order 16 cases of Stein beer at a time, what would be the length of an order cycle?arrow_forwardPlainwell Polymers is going to producing the main dashboard structure for a new car design. The dashboard will be produced in three colors with expected daily demand as follows: Black: 365 units/day Grey: 110 units/day Tan: 210 units/day The injection-molding machine can produce a total of 1,090 parts per day running 24 hours per day. It costs Plainwell $1,040 to set up each color for producition and the daily holding cost for each part is $0.49. What is the length of the lowest cost cyclic schedule (ignoring setup time constraints) in days?arrow_forwardUnaiki manages the inventory for Hine's kids collection. She's had too many stockouts lately and is worried about poor customer service. Therefore, she is considering a change to the current inventory control system for kids track pants. She gathers the following information: average demand: 250 pairs/week lead time: 2 weeks order cost = $75 per/order unit cost: $21.50 carrying charge rate = 18% desired service level = 95% standard deviation of weekly demand: 40 number of weeks per year: 52 Unaiki decides to use a fixed order quantity system. a. What is the Economic Order Quantity? b. What are the total annual order and inventory-holding costs for the EOQ? c. What should the reorder point be to have a 95% service level? d.
