- Explore the concept of dynamic order quantity in the Wilson approach and how it adapts to changing demand patterns. Provide examples.arrow_forwardWhat is the difference between a requirements philosophy and a replenishment philosophy of inventory management? Why is this difference important?arrow_forwardThe requirements of local motor bikes for a company are given as [25,5,25,30, 20] for week 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 respectively. If the setup costs and holding costs assumed at $80 and $1 /unit/week respectively, find the lot sizing using both Silver Meal and LUC Heuristics.arrow_forward
- A initially assume that Phi wants to minimize his inventory requirements. Assume that each order will be only for what is required for a single period. Calculate the net requirements and planned order releases for the gear boxes and input shafts. Assume that lot sizing is done using a lot-for-lot (L4L).

True or False? Explainarrow_forwardPrepare a master schedule based on the following information: Week 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Forecast 500 500 600 600 750 750 900 800 Orders 540 470 325 200 105 45 10 0 Currently there are 700 units in inventory. Policy calls for a fixed order quantity of 1250 units. Can you receive another order for 250 items in week 1? Why? How many orders can be received in each period without altering the plan. If there are 1250 items in stock, what would be the answer of questions 2 and 3?arrow_forward
- For Question 1 you are required to mannualy (without the use of excel) develop two MRP matrices: one with no lot sizing (you order what is required) and a lot seize equal to the EOQ. To determine the EOQ note that the inventory carrying cost is given as R1/unit/period. This means that you have to calculate the average demand per period and use this demand value in your EOQ calculation. This is then the order quantity to be used for the second MRP matrix.arrow_forwardDescribe the inventory processes perpetually and periodically. Is one system better than the other in circumstances?arrow_forward2. RoadHog Inc. is a small manufacturer of motorcycle accessories. It makes muffler with fins on a linethat is also used to make a variety of other products. Because it is costly to set up the line to produce themin batches, RoadHog has an incentive them in batches. However, while customer demand is known over a6-planning horizon, it is not necessarily constant from week to week. The unit cost, fixed setup cost andmonthly holding cost are given in the table.Data for the RoadHog Dynamic Lot SizingWeek 1 2 3 4 5 6Demand 30 50 60 25 20 40Setup Cost 150 150 150 150 150 150Holding cost 3 3 3 3 3 3a.
