Chapter 8.2, Problem 13P

a)

Summary Introduction

Interpretation: Determine the lot-sizing for the 10 periods using silver-meal method.

Concept Introduction: Silver-Meal method is mainly focused on production planning in production firms. This method also provides the approximate solutions to the time-varying demands products.it is used to take decisions based on lot sizing.

b)

Summary Introduction

Interpretation: Determine the lot-sizing for the 10 periods using least unit cost method.

Concept Introduction: The main aim of the Least Unit Cost (LUC) method is that to minimize or reduced the average of the cost to the every unit. This method will not perform effectively when the ordering cost are constant.it is also one of the dynamic lot-size technique.

c)

Summary Introduction

Interpretation: Determine the lot-sizing for the 10 periods using part period balancing method.

Concept Introduction: Part Period Balancing (PPB) technique is the lot-sizing method.it will reduces the adding the ordering costs and carrying inventory costs for an every single product.it will also used to plan the order based on changing date and number of quantities.

d)

Summary Introduction

Interpretation: Determine the three lot-sizing method resulted in the lowest cost for the 10 periods.

Concept Introduction: During the production time, quantity order will be determined is defined as lot size. Lot size may be static or dynamic. Mostly, Lot size will be determined through the consumer order, production size, batch size of the machine and so on.

Economic production quantity. This type of problem can be recognized when a production rate (p) Problem 2is given in addition to the basic EOQ information. Use Formula 13–5 to compute the optimal runquantity. Production (run) time is Q/p. Imax is (Q/p)(p – u). The time between the end of one run andthe start of the next is (Imax)/u – setup time.The Dine Corporation is both a producer and a user of brass couplings. The firm operates 220days a year and uses the couplings at a steady rate of 50 per day. Couplings can be produced at a rateof 200 per day. Annual storage cost is $2 per coupling, and machine setup cost is $70 per run.a. Determine the economic run quantity.b. Approximately how many runs per year will there be?c. Compute the maximum inventory level.d. What is the average inventory on hand?e. Determine the length of the pure consumption portion of the cycle
A local outdoor vegetable stand has exactly 1,000 square feet of space to displaythree vegetables: tomatoes, lettuce, and zucchini. The appropriate data for theseitems are given in the following table.ItemTomatoes Lettuce ZucchiniAnnual demand 850 1,280 630(in pounds)Cost per pound $0.29 $0.45 $0.25The setup cost for replenishment of the vegetables is $100 in each case, and thespace consumed by each vegetable is proportional to its costs, with tomatoes requiring 0.5 square foot per pound. The annual interest rate used for computingholding costs is 25 percent. What are the optimal quantities that should be purchased of these three vegetables?
Auria will produce 3 vehicle components and knows that each start generates a cost of 5,000 pesos. The cost of the units is $ 200, $ 100 and $ 70 respectively. Annual demand is 100,000 units for Product A, 150,000 units for Product B, and 200,000 units for Product C. The inventory rate is 15% per month. Product A and B are basic and substitutable products, so there must be a minimum average inventory of 8,000 units of both. The company seeks a maximum of $ 100,000 invested money in inventory. The available warehouse space is 400m3 and product A occupies 0.5m3, product B 0.7m3 and C 1m3. Consider that product A and C allow shortages and the goodwill loss cost is $ 3 for each unit of those items. a) Formulate the problem as a mathematical programming model (objective function and constraints) that minimizes the total annual cost
