- i was reading this answer and the way its calculated is a longer process then what someone else wrote can you check if ishould use this one that bartleby has given me or the other one: Step 1: Basic Information The question is related to Economic order quantiy Economic Order Quantity is that level of inventory at which ordering cost and handling cost are minimum. It is calculated with the help of following formula Economic Order Quantity = √2RO ÷ C R = Annual Requirment C = Carrying or Holding cost O = Ordering Cost Step 2: Solution Economic Order Quantity = √2RO ÷ C Economic Order Quantity = √2 × 3000 × 20 ÷ 4.25 Economic Order Quantity = √28,235.294117647 Economic Order Quantity = 168.0336100834 pounds R = Annual Requirment i.e.250 × 12 = 3000 pounds per annum. C = Carrying or Holding cost i.e. £4.25 O = Ordering Cost i.e. £20 Quantity to be ordered = 168.03 pounds. Supplier = Vendor 1 should be used as the cost per pound for 168 pounds is £32.25 (as per table…arrow_forwardA’s lead time is 1 week; B’s lead time is 2 weeks; and C’s lead time is 2 weeks. This is true regardless of order size. Currently you have the following amounts in on-hand inventory; A = 50. a) How many units of B and C will I need to produce for A if I have an order for 100 units of A? b) Give me a time-phased assembly plan for A, B, and C such that I will receive 100 units of A at the beginning of Week 5. Assume that I can work on B and C at the same time (overlap).arrow_forward. MBPF Inc. manufactures prefabricated garages. The manufacturing facility purchases sheet metal that is formed and assembled into finished products—garages. Each garage needs a roof and a base, and both components are punched out of separate metal sheets prior to assembly. Production and demand data for the past eight weeks are shown in Table below. Observe that both production and demand vary from week to week. Now, track the inventory at the end of each week, measured in number of finished garages. Also, construct the inventory build-up diagram. MBPF Inc. manufactures prefabricated garages.

- I am working on determining optimal order quantity for the Sport Obermeyer case. " Using the data in Exhibit 10, make a recommendation for how many units of each style Wally should make during the initial phase of production. Assume that all ten styles in the sample problem are made in Hong Kong and that Wally's initial production commitment must be at least 10,000 units. Ignore price differences among styles in your initial analysis." The exhibit provides cost for each style, 6 sales forecasts and an average forecast. Standard deviation and 2x standard deviation are also given. How do I start?arrow_forwardM. de Koster, of Rene Enterprises, has the master production plan shown here: Lead time = I period; setup cost= $200; holding cost = $10 perweek; stockout cost = $10 per week.
