He has requested that you should assist him apply the ABC analysis todetermine which item(s) should be carefully controlled using a quantitative inventory technique and which item(s) shouldnot be closely controlled.
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.
The following information regarding inventory policy was assembled by the GB Inc. The company uses a 50-week year in all calculations: Sales: 10,000 units per year Order quantity: 2,000 units Safety stock: 1,300 units Lead time: 4 weeks The reorder point is:

- 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.

A manager of an inventory system believes that inventory models are important decision making aids. Even though often using an EOQ policy, the manager never considered a backorder model because of the assumption that backorders were “bad” and should be avoided. However, with upper management’s continued pressure for cost reduction, you have been asked to analyze the economics of a backorder policy for some products that can possibly be backordered. For a specific product with D = 1200 units per year, Co = 160, = 4, and = 25, what is the difference in total annual cost between the EOQ model and the planned shortage or backorder model? If the manager adds constraints that no more than 25% of the units can be backordered and that no customer will have to wait more than 18 days for an order, should the backorder inventory policy be adopted? Assume 300 working days per year.arrow_forward
