Chapter 13, Problem 6P
The Ambrosia Bakery makes calms for freezing and subsequent sale. The bakery, which operates five days a week, 52 weeks a year, can produce cakes at the rate of 116 cakes per day. The bakery sets up the cake-production operation and produces until a predetermined number (Q) has been produced. When not producing cakes, the bakery’ uses its personnel and facilities for producing other bakery items. The setup cost for a production run of cakes is $700. The cost of holding frozen cakes in storage is $9 per cake per year. The annual demand for frozen cakes which is constant over time, is 6000 calms. Determine the following:
- a. Optimal production run quantity (Q)
- b. Total annual inventory costs
- c. Optimal number of production runs per year
- d. Optimal cycle time (time between run starts)
- e. Run length in working days

HAL Ltd. produces a line of high-capacity disk drives for computers. The housings for the drives are produced in Hamilton, Ontario at a rate of 250 housings per month, and shipped to the main plant in Toronto. The housings cost HAL $100 each to produce, and the setup cost for beginning a production run is $500. HAL uses the drive housings at a fairly steady rate of 1400 per year. Assume an annual interest rate of 25% for determining the holding cost.
What is the optimal number of housings for HAL to produce in each production run?
For the optimal production size, what proportion of each production cycle consists of uptime and what proportion consists of downtime?
Assuming that HAL produces the optimal number of housings in each production run, what is the maximum on-hand inventory level of these housings? What is the annual cost of holding and setup?
Mike’s Garage, a local automotive service and repair shop, uses oil filters at a fairly steady rate of 2,400 per year. Mike estimates that the cost of his time to make and process an order is about $50. It takes one month for the supplier to deliver the oil filters to the garage, and each one costs Mike $5. Mike uses an annual interest rate of 25 percent to compute his holding cost.a. Determine the optimal number of oil filters that Mike should purchase, and the optimal time between placement of orders.b. Determine the level of on-hand inventory at the time a reorder should be placed.c. Assuming that Mike uses an optimal inventory control policy for oil filters, what is the annual cost of holding and order setup for this item?
Bold Vision, Inc., must purchase toner from a local supplier. The company does not wish to carry raw material inventory and therefore only purchases enough toner to satisfy the demand of each individual batch of cartridges. Each toner cartridge requires one pound of toner. The raw material supplier offers Bold Vision a purchase discount of $2.00 per pound if the company orders at least 2,000 pounds at a time. Should Bold Vision accept this offer and alter its toner purchase quantity?

Barbara sells the baskets for $ 29 each, and her variable costs are $ 19 per basket. She incurs $ 12,500 in fixed costs each year. Last year, Barbara sold 4,000 baskets, and she believes that demand this year will be stable at 4,000 baskets. The following are the actions Barbara could take if she wants to earn $ 30,900 in operating income by selling only 4,000 baskets. Consider each action independently.

- A Mercedes dealer pays $40,000 for each car purchased (wholesale price). The annual holding cost is estimated to be 30% of the dollar value of inventory. The dealer sells an average of 1200 cars per year. They believe that demand is backlogged but estimate that if they are short one car for one year, the loss in future profits is about 10% of the wholesale price. Each time the dealer places an order for cars, ordering costs amount to $1600. Assume there are 360 work days per year. Question: If the Mercedes dealer wants to limit backorders so that they occur 20% of the time, what is the maximum number of backorders that should be allowed (assuming the optimal order quantity doesn't change)?arrow_forwardBerry Computer is considering moving some of its operations overseas in order to reduce labor costs. In the United States, its main circuit board costs Berry $75 per unit to produce, while overseas it costs only $65 to produce. Holding costs are based on a 20 percent annual interest rate, and the demand has been a fairly steady 200 units per week. Assume that setup costs are $200 both locally and overseas. Production lead times are one month locally and six months overseas.a. Determine the average annual costs of production, holding, and setup at each location, assuming that an optimal solution is employed in each case. Based on these results only, which location is preferable?b. Determine the value of the pipeline inventory in each case. (The pipeline inventory is the inventory on order.)
