- The daily demand for printer paper at the School of Business is approximately normal with a mean of 15.2 boxes and a standard deviation of 1.6 per day. The Administrative Assistant reviews the inventory every 30 days, and the lead time is 5 days. The division set a policy of satisfying 96% of the demand for paper. If there are 125 boxes of printer paper in inventory at the beginning of this review period, how many boxes of printer paper should be ordered? What is the variance of demand during the review period plus the lead-time period? What is the standard deviation of demand during the review period plus the lead-time period? A. Variance = 76.80 Standard deviation = 8.76 B. Variance = 89.60 Standard deviation = 9.47 C. Variance = 9.47 Standard deviation = 89.60 D. Variance = 12.8 Standard deviation = 3.58arrow_forwardA company produces a line of golf putters composed of three models. The demandfor model A is 500 per month, for B is 400, and for C is 300.

The minislicer has been one of its most popular items: Annual demand is 6,750 units and is constant throughout the year. Kristen Flemming, owner of the firm, produces the minislicers in batches. On average, Kristen can manufacture 125 minislicers per day. Demand for these slicers during the production process is 30 per day. The setup cost for the equipment necessary to produce the minislicers is $150. Carrying costs are $1 per minislicer per year. How many minislicers should Kristen manufacture in each batch?arrow_forward
- Kevins Shampoo company makes four kinds of shampoo: rose, lemon, ginger, and tea tree. The demand for the four scents are 191, 164, 92 and 74 kg per hour respectively. The production process can produce any shampoo at the rate of 581 kg per hour, but 2 hours are needed to switch between scents. The process doesn’t produce any shampoo during switchover times. Kevin wants to choose a production schedule that (i) cycles repeatedly through the four scents, (ii) meets the required demand and (iii) minimizes the amount of inventory held. (please round your answers to 2 decimal places) 1.How many kg of rose shampoo should Kevin produce before switching over to another scent? 2.Kevin needs to buy coconut oil to make her shampoo. She needs 1401 kg of coconut oil per day on average. The supplier charges a EUR 77 delivery fee per order (which is independent of the order size) and EUR 5.13 per kg.

The component consists of three parts (A, B, and C) that are purchased from outside and cost 35, 30, and 10 cents per piece, respectively. Parts A and B are assembled first on assembly line 1, which produces 185 components per hour. Part C undergoes a drilling operation before being finally assembled with the output from assembly line 1. There are, in total, six drilling machines, but at present only three of them are operational. Each drilling machine drills part C at a rate of 80 parts per hour. In the final assembly, the output from assembly line 1 is assembled with the drilled part C. The final assembly line produces at a rate of 205 components per hour. At present, components are produced eight hours a day and five days a week. Management believes that if the need arises, it can add a second shift of eight hours for the assembly lines. The cost of assembly labor is 30 cents per part for…arrow_forward

- For two new output products, the manager must set up inventory purchasing systems, P34 and P35. P34 can be ordered at any moment, but only once every four weeks can P35 be ordered. The corporation runs 50 weeks a year and the weekly utilisation rates are usually allocated on both pieces. The manager has collected the following documents. Point P34 Point P35 Average weekly request 60 units Seventy units Deviation from norm Four units a week Five units a week $15 $20 per unit. The expense of annual keeping is 30% 30% of the Price $70 to order $30 30 2 weeks lead period 2 weeks Acceptable stockout chance 2.5% 2.5% A. When can each object be reordered by the manager?arrow_forwardThe Northridge Company tends to keep the inventory low. At the same time, it is important to respond to demand quickly, since a customer who wants a product K is very likely to get one from a competitor if Northridge Company doesn’t have one available immediately. Northridge Company’s current policy to produce the product K is to produce 100 per week, which is the average demand. Even this is a problem, as the production manager has pointed out, since the equipment is also used for other products and the lot size of 300 would be much more efficient. He said he is currently set up the production for product K for the next week and states that he has capacity available to produce 300 at a time next week. The following lists the forecasts and actual customer orders for the next 12 weeks.
