To use order point system and periodic review system. Illustrate its characteristics/advantage in the context of managing inventory in a pharmacy.
For example:
1. Order point system - When the quantity of an item on hand in inventory falls to a predetermined level, an order is placed.
• The quantity ordered is based on economic order quantity (EOQ).
• Order quantity are usually fixed.
• The order point is determined by the average demand during the lead time.
• If the average demand or the lead time changes, there is no corresponding change in the order point, effectively there is a change in the safety stock.
• The interval between replenishment are not constant but vary depending on the actual demand during the order cycle.
Usually used for stocks that are longer to sell from the store so to…

- Question 1 The Jelly Bean operation holds an inventory of food colouring which used to colour the jelly beans. The jelly bean operation is interested in calculating the optimal ordering strategy for food colouring. Suppose the annual forecast for the necessary food colouring during a normal year of operation is 13491 litres per year. Furthermore, suppose the holding cost per litre of paint is $11.4 and every time the jelly bean operation issues an order to their supplier, a charge of $451 is added to the invoice as an ordering cost. The supplier charges $5.63 per litre of food colouring. Using the Economic Order Quantity formula, what is the optimal order size that minimises total cost (in Litres of food colouring per order)? a. 1265 litres b. 736 litres c. 1067446 litres d. 26 litres e. 1033 litres Question 2 Using the Economic Order Quantity formula and the data provided above, how many orders will have to be made in a single year?
