Gainesville Cigar stocks Cuban cigars that have variable lead times because of the difficulty in importing the product: Lead time is normally distributed with an average of 4 weeks and a standard deviation of 2 weeks. Demand is also a variable and normally distributed with a mean of 225 cigars per week and a standard deviation of 25 cigars. Refer to the standard normal table for z-values. This exercise contains only parts a and b. a) For a 95% service level, what is the ROP? The reorder point is cigars (round your response to the nearest whole number).

Harvey Gold, orders an unusual olive from the island of Santorini, off the Greek coast. Over the years he has noticed considerable variability in the time it takes to receive orders of these olives. He can place a replenishment order at any time. On average the order lead time is 4 months and the standard deviation is 6 weeks (1.5 months). The monthly demand for olives is normally distributed with a mean of 15 jars and a standard deviation of 6. The fixed ordering cost =$500, the cost of a jar to Harvey is $10 a jar, and the annual inventory holding cost is 18% of the product's cost ($10 per jar). Assume 4 weeks each month and 90% service level. Find the reorder point s, amount of safety stock, order-up-to level S, average inventory level, and the annual inventory-related cost.

A retailer has two stores selling the same product. Weekly demand at store 1 is normally distributed with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 10, while weekly demand at store 2 is normally distributed with a mean of 150 and a standard deviation of 25. Demand at the two stores is independent. The retailer orders from a supplier with a 1 week lead time using a periodic review policy with a review period of 1 week, and targets a 95% service level. If the retailer wants to centralize inventory across the two stores, i.e., hold just one stock of inventory to serve demand from both stores, what should the order-up-to level be?

Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Answer:_______
As with other products, Fisher-Price faces the decision of how many Weather Teddy units to order for the comingholiday season. Members of the management team suggested order quantities of 15,000, 18,000, 24,000, or28,000 units. The wide range of order quantities suggested indicates considerable disagreement concerning themarket potential. The product management team asks you for an analysis of the stock-out probabilities forvarious order quantities, an estimate of the profit potential, and to help make an order quantity recommendation.Fisher-Price expects to sell Weather Teddy for $24 based on a cost of $16 per unit. If inventory remains afterthe holiday season, Fisher-Price will sell all surplus inventory for $5 per unit. After reviewing the sales historyof similar products, Fisher-Price’s senior sales forecaster predicted an expected demand of 20,000 units with a.95 probability that demand would be between 10,000 units and 30,000 units. Question: One of Fisher-Price’s managers felt…
Anglo American Platinum uses ABC analysis as an inventory categorisation method. The current inventory ordering policy is to order 10 000 units of an ‘A’-item inventory when the level falls to 4 500 units. Forecast demand to meet production requirements during the next year is 62 500 units. The cost of placing and processing an order relating to this inventory item is R250, while the cost of holding a unit in store is R50 per unit per year. You anticipate that both costs will be constant during the next year. Orders are received two weeks after being placed with the supplier. Assume a 50-week year and that demand is constant throughout the year. Using a quantitative analysis, appraise the optimality of the current ordering policy of the ‘A’-item inventory (Show all calculations).

Suppose that we would like to determine Reorder Point for the product. From the historical data the manager determined demand during lead-time for that product fits Normal distribution with a mean of 200 and standard deviation of 10 products. The maximum stock out risk is 10%. Answer the following questions according to the (Q, R) system. a) Find the safety stock if the lead time is 2 weeks. b) Find the reorder point. c) Find the reorder point if the stock out risk decreases to 1%.
