Your company assembles five different models of a motor scooter that is sold in specialty stores in the United States. The company uses the same engine for all five models. You have been given the assignment of choosing a supplier for these engines for the coming year. Due to the size of your warehouse and other administrative restrictions, you must order the engines in lot sizes of 1,200 units. Because of the unique characteristics of the engine, special tooling is needed during the manufacturing process for which you agree to reimburse the supplier. Your assistant has obtained quotes from two reliable engine suppliers, and you need to decide which to use, the following data have been collected.
Requirements (annual forecast) 14,400 units
Weight per engine 25 pounds
Order processing cost $ 145 per order

- Problem 6 Part A:Available to promise in period 4 = 50Problem 6 Part B:PAB in period 7 = 35 In part A, the only thing that you need to do is to calculate the ATP in periods 1,4,5, and 7. In part B, remember that you are rolling through time. The part B solution spreadsheet starts with time period 2 and period 1 is now history. For the part B, you must capture all of the events that occurred during week 1. For example, I gave you that the beginning PAB is 45. If you had 20 in stock (from part A), you produced 50 as planned in period 1, and the actual demand for period 1 was 25, then the beginning PAB (your stock quantity) is 20+50-25=45. The forecast and MPS quantities will not change from part A to part B. After you accept each of the orders (simply add the new order quantities to the existing customer order quantities in the correct time bucket), you will then recalculate the PAB, and then recalculate the ATP.arrow_forwardA single inventory item is ordered from an outside supplier.

He can only get 300 pounds of Colombian beans per week and 200 pounds of Dominican beans per week. Each pound of American blend coffee requires 12 ounces of Colombian beans and 4 ounces of Dominican beans, while a pound of British blend coffee uses 8 ounces of each type of bean. Profits for the American blend are $2.00 per pound, and profits for the British blend are $1.00 per pound.

- 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 costarrow_forward[item no. 11] In a single period inventory model, the demand is assumed to follow a normal distribution.
