- In Problem 12 of the previous section, suppose that the demand for cars is normally distributed with mean 100 and standard deviation 15. Use @RISK to determine the best order quantityin this case, the one with the largest mean profit. Using the statistics and/or graphs from @RISK, discuss whether this order quantity would be considered best by the car dealer. (The point is that a decision maker can use more than just mean profit in making a decision.)arrow_forwardProduct Mix TJ, Inc., makes three nut mixes for sale to grocery chains located in the Southeast.

The demand for all four patterns is seasonal and normally distributed. Each of the four patterns has an expected demand of 10,000 pairs with a standard deviation of 4,000 pairs. Currently, all patterns are produced before the start of the season. Production cost is $20 per pair, and they are sold for a wholesale price of $36 per pair. Any unsold sandal at the end of the season is sold at discounted price of $15 per pair. It costs $1 per pair to hold the sandals in inventory for the entire season if it does not sell. The company is considering the postponement of printing the pattern of the sandals. This will require the base sandals to be made in advance (identical for each of the four models) and the final patterns to be printed later. This will increase production cost of sandals to $22. 5 per pair.  What is the optimal cycle service level before postponement?

- The Hawkins Supply Company is currently faced with an inventory rotation problem. This difficulty stems from the fact that some supplies must be used prior to a stated expiration date. Upon receipt, a new shipment of these perishable items must be stacked beneath the boxes that are currently in inventory. A substantial amount of time is consumed in restacking the items according to their expiration dates.The company would like to reduce the double and sometimes triple handling of items. How can this goal be achieved? Are there alternative solutions which might also be effective?arrow_forwardEvery four years, Blockbuster Publishers revises its textbooks. It has been three years since the best-selling book, The Joy of OR, has been revised. At present, 2,000 copies of the book are in stock, and Blockbuster must determine how many copies of the book should be printed for the next year. The sales department believes that sales during the next year are governed by the distribution in Table 8. Each copy of Joy sold during the next year brings the publisher $35 in revenues. Any copies left at the end of the next year cannot be sold at full price but can be sold for $5 to Bonds Ennoble and Gitano’s bookstores. The cost of a printing of the book is $50,000 plus $15 per book printed. How many copies of Joy should be printed? Would the answer change if 4,000 copies were currently in stock?
