- A drugstore uses fixed-order cycles for many of the items it stocks. The manager wants a servicelevel of .98. The order interval is 14 days, and lead time is 2 days. Average demand for one itemis 40 units per day, and the standard deviation of demand is 3 units per day. Given the on-handinventory at the reorder time for each order cycle shown in the following table, determine theorder quantities for cycles 1, 2, and 3.Cycle On Hand1 422 83 103arrow_forwardPetromax Enterprises uses a continuous review policy to manage the inventory for one of its SKUs. The following information is available on the item. The firm operates 50 weeks in a year. Demand = 90,000 units/year Ordering Cost = $60/Order Holding Cost = $3/Unit/Order Lead Time = 10 weeks Standard Deviation of Weekly Demand = 200 units Suppose due to some recent changes to the target service level, they have determined the reorder point to be 20,000. If the inventory position of this SKU is currently 19,600, how many units should they order? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number, if it has decimals. Input 0 if they should not order now.)arrow_forwardThe Soon Company is a multinational company that purchases one of its crucial components from a supplier who offers quantity discounts to encourage larger order quantities. The supply chain manager of the company wants to determine the optimal order quantity to minimize the total annual inventory cost. The company’s annual demand forecast for the item is 850 units, the order cost is $10 per order, and the annual holding rate is 41 percent. The price schedule for the item is: Order Quantity Price per Unit ($) 1–150 6.00 151–350 5.50 351 and above 5.00 The first break point is 151 units and the second is 351 units.

- A company incurs an ordering cost of $232 each time it places an order, regardless of the order size. The item's cost is $5, and the annual carrying charge for the item is 30%. If the annual demand for this item is 2,880 and the company's order quantity (Q) is 944, calculate its total annualized cost of inventory. The total annualized inventory costs are $.arrow_forwardjeweler purchases silver for use in its products. The firm uses 190 grams of silver per week and purchases silver for $0.52 per gram from a supplier. Each time the firm orders silver from the supplier, the firm must pay a $11 order processing charge. The firm's annual holding cost percentage is 38%. Do not round intermediate calculations. Assume there are 52 weeks in a year and round your answer to two decimal places. If the jeweler orders 1,950 grams of silver with each order, what is the sum of the annual holding and ordering costs? dollars Please do fast ASAP fastarrow_forwardThe costs of placing an order are Rs. 150 per order. It is estimated that 1000 units will be used in the next 12 months. The carrying cost per month is Rs. 2.50. Assuming that the demand is deterministic and continuous and that no stock-outs are allowed, determine the optimal order quantity. 2. Based on the above, explain the following What is the time between the placing of orders? The procurement lead time is one month. What is the re-order point based on the on-hand inventory level?arrow_forward
- An importer operates a small warehouse that has the following annual costs. Wages for the purchasing agents are $45,000 per year, purchasing expenses are $30,000 per year, customs and brokerage costs are $30 per order, the cost of financing the inventory is 8%, storage costs are 7%, and the risk costs are 10%. The average inventory is $250,000 and 6,000 orders are placed in a year. What is the annual ordering costs (in dollars)? Your answer is an integer. how do you get Order & Carrying cost?arrow_forwardThe manager of a large electronics store wants to begin stocking a universal TV remote control device. Expected daily demand is 25 units (250 working days a year). The remote controls can be purchased from either supplier A or supplier B. Their price lists are as follows: Supplier A Supplier B Quantity Unit price Quantity Unit price 1-199 $14 1-149 $14.1 200-499 $13.8 150-349 $13.9 500+ $13.6 350+ $13.7 Ordering cost is $40 per order and annual holding cost is 25 percent of unit price. Lead time for either supplier is 10 days. Which supplier should be chosen and what kind of inventory ordering policy should be adopted?arrow_forwardSuppose that the newsvendor faces integer-valued demand and must choose an integer value of y. We make no assumptions about the demand distribution (other than that it is an integer) or about the relationship between h and p. Prove that y* is the smallest integer y such that F(y) ≥ (r − c)/(r − v) where F is the cdf of the demand distribution. (Hint: Consider calculating the cost difference between two consecutive integer values.)arrow_forward
- A drugstore uses fixed-order cycles for many of the items it stocks. The manager wants a service level of .99. The order interval is 12 days, and lead time is 4 days. Average demand for one item is 63 units per day, and the standard deviation of demand is 6 units per day. Given the on-hand inventory at the reorder time for each order cycle shown in the following table. Use Table.

The weekly demand is 300 units with a standard deviation of 90 units. The cost to place an order is $32.00, and the time from ordering to receipt is four weeks. The annual inventory carrying cost is $0.20 per unit. The reorder point necessary to provide a 98 percent service probability is 1,569 units. Suppose the production manager is asked to reduce the safety stock of this item by 55 percent. If she does so, what will the new service probability be? Use Excel's NORM.S.DIST() function to find the correct probability for your computed z value.arrow_forwardYou are a purchasing manager in charge of stocking a certain type of product. Weekly demand for these products is normally distributed, with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 50. Holding costs are 25%, and you must hold a level of inventory corresponding to a cycle service level of 95%. You are faced with two suppliers, QUALITY Products and BEST Products, who offer the following terms. QUALITY sells the products for €5,000 with a minimum order of 100, and a lead time of 1 week with a standard deviation of 0.1 week. BEST sells the transformer for €4,800, has a minimum batch of 1,000, a lead time of 5 weeks, and a lead-time standard deviation of 4 weeks. If you could use both suppliers, how would you structure your orders? Describe the dimensions of supplier performance that affect total costarrow_forward
