Inventory and supply chain models:
The functions of inventory and supply chain are one of the most important business decision areas for an organization. The first important aspect of these concepts is to have adequate inventory on hand. The second important aspect is to carry a little amount of inventory as possible.

A retailer uses the order-up-to model to manage inventory of an item in a store. The leadtime for replenishments is four weeks and it can place orders weekly. Weekly demand isPoisson with mean 0.10 unit. Its order-up-to level is five and unfilled demand is backordered. What is the coefficient of variation of its orders?
12. A restaurant uses an average of 8 jars of a special sauce every day. When they place an order, the
jars arrive to the restaurant in a day (lead time is 1 day). Daily usage of sauce has a standard
deviation of 3 jars. They think their demand during the lead time can be modelled with normal
distribution. The manager is willing to accept no more than a 10 percent risk of stockout during
lead time. Calculate at which level of inventory a new order needs to be placed (i.e. calculate the
reorder-point(ROP)).
Please provide STEP BY STEP instructions using the SINGLE PERIOD MODEL.
Cynthia Knott’s oyster bar buys fresh Louisiana oysters for $5 per pound and sells them for $9 per pound. Any oysters not sold that day are sold to her cousin, who has a nearby grocery store, for $2 per pound. Cynthia believes that demand follows the normal distribution, with a mean of 100 pounds and a standard deviation of 15 pounds. How many pounds should she order each day?

- A large manufacturer purchases a part from a supplier under a continuous review system. The average demand is 400 units a day with a standard deviation of 50 units a day. It costs $55 to process each order. The holding cost for a part is $0.2 per month and the company has a policy of maintaining a 96% service level. The company operates 315 days per year. The time from when an order is placed to when it arrives at the company from its vendor is 5 days. a- What is the reorder point? b- What order quantity would be appropriate c- What is the total annual cost for this item?arrow_forwardA logistics company applies the EOQ model to manage its inventory of spare parts used for maintenance work for their trucks. Daily demand is normally distributed. The average daily demand is 10 units, with a standard deviation of 5 units. The EOQ is found to be 400 units and used as the order size for all orders. Order lead time is 4 days. Currently, the firm has just received an order. In how many days do they need to place the next order? 4 days 36 days 40 days None of the above. Demand is random, so the time until they reach the ROP again is also randomarrow_forward(Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

- An electronics retailer wants to develop an inventory policy to achieve 99% chance of not getting stockouts for a chip. The daily demand for the chip is estimated to be Normal with mean 200 and standard deviation of 20. They count the chip inventory every 2 weeks to place an order, and it takes 11 days for the ordered chips to be delivered. The retailer operates 7 days a week, 365 days a year. They are going to implement an order-up-to model. A) What base stock level should they choose? B) What is the number of chips they would have on order (on average)? C) When they checked their inventory of chips to place a new order, they found that they ran out of stock completely.

The critical ratio for both products is .8. The demand forecast for both products is 9000 units and both are normally distributed. Product X has more uncertain demand in the sense that it has the larger standard deviation. Of which of the two products does the newsvendor order morea.

Easter eggs come in a special value box (250 eggs per box). The manufacturer is located in China, so a long lead time required to receive the orders.
