Therefore, the company decided toreduce its total inventory cost to improve its productivity related to the operations. On an experimental basis, it studied the costs of inventory of one single item. The annual demand of this itemis found to be 2500 units. Its order cost is found to be 60 AED per order and the holding cost is calculated as ten percent of the ordering cost. The shop purchases its raw material for this item at acost of 80 AED.Question-2: Evaluate the above data to recommend an operations strategy for ordering the items economically and find the total cost of inventory. Provide your suggestions Explainall the steps and show the calculations.
