Concept explainers
a)
Interpretation: Determine the lot sizing obtained from the EOQ formula.
Concept Introduction: EOQ (Economic Order Quantity) is a Firm should include the inventory with each and every order to reduce the total number of costs of inventory like order cost, setup holding cost, Shortage cost. Etc.
b)
Interpretation: Determine the lot sizes using the silver-meal heuristic.
Concept Introduction: Silver-Meal Heuristic method is the one of the forward method that determines the average cost per period as the process of the total number of periods to the current order to be expand and stop the process when the process enter into the increase level.
c)
Interpretation: Determine the lot sizes using Least Unit Cost heuristic.
Concept Introduction: one of the lot-sizing technique method is Least Unit Cost (LUC) method. The main advantage is that it is more complete analysis technique and also concentrate on the setup cost will change when the size of the order increases.
d)
Interpretation: Determine the lot sizes using Part Period Balancing method.
Concept Introduction: Part Period Balancing (PPB) method is the same as the EOQ (Economic Order Quantity).PPB is the Lot-sizing method to recover the lowest cost in interrelated between order cost and inventory cost.
e)
Interpretation: Compare the holding and setup costs obtained over the six periods using the policies found in Part (a) and Part (b) with the cost of a lot-for-lot policy.
Concept Introduction: one of the flexible policy is lot-for-lot policy. In this policy, the system reacts on the original demand with adding the anticipated demand from the

- As the production planner for Xiangling Hu Products, Inc., you have been given a bill of material for a bracket that is made up of a base, 2 springs, and 4 clamps. The base is assembled from 1 clamp and\ 1 housing. Each clamp has 1 handle and 2 castings.Each housing has 1 bearing and 2 shafts.There is no inventory on hand. C) Compute the net quantities needed if there are 25 of the base and 75 of the clamp in stock. (Product structure picture attached) Base = (?) units Spring = (?) units Clamp = (?) units Housing = (?) units Handle = (?) units Casting = (?) units Bearing = (?) units Shaft = (?) unitsarrow_forwardKuantan ATV, Inc. assembles five different models of all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) from various ready-made components to serve the Las Vegas, Nevada, market. The company uses the same engine for all its ATVs. The purchasing manager, Ms. Jane Kim, needs to choose a supplier for engines for the coming year. Due to the size of the warehouse and other administrative restrictions, she must order the engines in lot sizes of 1,000 each. The unique characteristics of the standardized engine require special tooling to be used during the manufacturing process. Kuantan ATV agrees to reimburse the supplier for the tooling. This is a critical purchase, since late delivery of engines would disrupt production and cause 50 percent lost sales and 50 percent back orders of the ATVs. Jane has obtained quotes from two reliable suppliers but needs to know which supplier is more cost-effective. The terms of sale are 4/10 net 30 for Supplier 1 and 3/10 net 30 for Supplier 2. The data related to the costs of…arrow_forwardGiven the bill of material and the on-hand quantities below, compute the net requirements for each item. The gross requirement for A is 150 units.

The systems are assembled with components from the best manufacturers worldwide. Although most of the components are procured from wholesalers on the East Coast, some critical items, such as LCD screens, come directly from their manufacturer. For instance, the LCD screens are shipped via air from Foxy, Ltd., in Taiwan, to Boston’s Logan airport, and the top-of-the-line speakers are purchased from the world-renowned U.S. manufacturer Boss. Parker’s purchasing agent, Raktim Pal, submits an order release for LCD screens once every 4 weeks. The company’s annual requirements total 500 units (2 per working day), and Parker’s per unit cost is $1,500. (Because of Parker’s relatively low volume and the quality focus—rather than volume focus— of many of Parker’s suppliers, Parker is seldom able to obtain quantity discounts.) Because Foxy promises delivery within 1…arrow_forward
