a)
To determine: The ordering plan and cost for lot for lot.
Introduction:
Lot for Lot:
The lot for lot method of requirements plan is the process where the planned order release will be equal to the net requirement of the period.
Net requirements plan:
The net requirements plan is the plan which is established on the gross requirements plan formed by deducting the stock on and the
b)
To determine: The ordering plan and cost for EOQ.
Introduction:
Economic order quantity (EOQ):
The economic order quantity is the number of units a firm must add to their stock while making each order. The notion of EOQ is to reduce the total cost of inventory of the firm.
Net requirements plan:
The net requirements plan is the plan which is established on the gross requirements plan formed by deducting the stock on and the scheduled receipts. If the total requirement is below the safety stock levels, a planned order is made based on the given lot sizing technique.
c)
To determine: The ordering plan and cost for POQ.
Introduction:
Periodic order quantity (POQ):
The POQ is the standard quantity of units that will be ordered over a fixed period of time. This method is followed when the usage of raw materials is consistent and is predictable.
Net requirements plan:
The net requirements plan is the plan which is established on the gross requirements plan formed by deducting the stock on and the scheduled receipts. If the total requirement is below the safety stock levels, a planned order is made based on the given lot sizing technique.
d)
To determine: The plan which has the lowest cost.

- is not among one of the assumptions of the basic Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) model O a. Annual demand requirements are known and constant. Ob. Each order is received in a single delivery. Oc. Quantity discounts are available. O d. Lead time does not vary.arrow_forwarda. If demand for the new videotape recorder is expected to be constant with a rate of 20 units per month, what is the recommended order quantity for the videotape recorder? b. What are the estimated annual inventory holding and ordering costs associated with this product? c. How many orders will be placed per year? d. With 250 working days per year, what is the cycle time for this product?arrow_forwardA lot-sizing procedure that orders on a predeterminedtime interval with the order quantity equal to the total ofthe interval’s requirement is:a) periodic order quantity.b) part period balancing.c) economic order quantity.d) all of the above.arrow_forward

Multiples.arrow_forwardDo all work in Excel with Formulas An office supply store open 5 days a week must determine the best inventory policy for boxes of copier paper. Weekly demand is nearly constant at 250 boxes and when orders are placed, then entire shipment arrives at once. The cost per box is $22 and the inventory holding cost is 30%. Orders are placed at a cost of $40 each, including preparation time and communication charges, and the lead time is 2 days. a. Find the optimal order quantity. b. What is the reorder point? c. How often should an order be placed? d. What is the cycle time?arrow_forwardThomas' Bike Shop, with a 250 day working year, stocks a high-volume item. The average daily demand is 7p units, the lead time is 4 days, and sometimes may take up to 5 days. a. Calculate the re-order point without safety stock. b. Calculate the re-order point with safety stock.arrow_forward
- 6. A company stocks an item that is consumed at the rate of 20 units each day. Every time an order is placed for new supply, $ 100 must be paid. A unit inventory held in stock for one week will cost $ 0.15. Lead time is 3 days. a. What is the economic order quantity (EOQ)? b. What is the cycle time for the EOQ? c. What is the total cost for the EOQ? d. What is the total cost if the order quantity is 300 more than EOQ? e What is the optimum number of orders (rounded to the closest integer) that the company has to place each year? f What is the level of inventory at the reorder point? Assume that the company has a standing policy of not allowing shortages in demand.arrow_forwardDennis Sport World, a chain of sporting goods stores, sells 360,000 tennis balls per year. The tennis balls cost Dennis Sport World RM15 per dozen. Annual inventory carrying costs are 20 percent of inventory price. The cost of placing and receiving an order are RM72. Assume the inventory replenishment occurs virtually instantaneously. Based on recent experience, Dennis Sport World uses 7 days delivery time for planning purposes.
