30) XYZ Company
The XYZ Company uses 175 handles per day. The company operates 300 days per year. It costs $2.00 to carry one handle in inventory for one year. When handle inventory is low, an order is sent to the fabrication department to manufacture more handles. Fabrication can produce handles at a rate of 1500 per day and send the handles over to assembly while production is in progress. The setup for each production run costs $500.
Assume the XYZ company orders 9,000 handles at a time (not necessarily the economic order quantity). The order receipt period = _____ days.

. Sarah’s Organic Soap Company makes four kinds of organic liquid soap: “regular,”“lavender,” “citrus,” and “tea tree.” Demands for the four scents are 150, 120, 75, and50 kgs per hour, respectively. Sarah’s production process can produce any soap at therate of 450 kgs per hour, but 1.5 hours are needed to switch between scents. Duringthose switchover times, the process doesn’t produce any soap. Sarah wants to choosea production schedule that (i) cycles repeatedly through the four scents, (ii) meets therequired demand, and (iii) minimizes the amount of inventory held.How many kgs of “regular” should Sarah produce before switching over to another scent?

- A company manufactures hair dryers. It buys some of the components, but it makes the heating elements, which it can produce at the rate of 800 per day. Hair dryers are assembled daily, 250 days a year, at a rate of 300 per day. Because of the disparity between the production and usage rates, the heating elements are periodically produced in batches of 2,000 units. Approximately how many batches of heating elements are produced annually? If production on a batch begins when there is no inventory of heating elements on hand, how much inventory will be on hand two days later? The same equipment that is used to make the heating elements could also be used to make a component for another of the firm’s products. That job would require four days, including setup. Setup time for making a batch of heating elements is a half day. Is there enough time to do this job between productions of batches of heating elements?
