KungFu Panda is a popular Chinese takeout in a large metropolitan city. The restaurant is famous for its noodle soup, for which special noodles are sourced from a small local authentic Chinese noodle production plant. The inventory of raw materials in the restaurant is managed by the chef’s daughter, Ms. Huan, who balances college studies with running the stock room. She only has time once a week to check inventory levels and place orders for items running low. Unfortunately, Chegg.com is not very helpful in running a real operation. To keep her chef parents happy, she wants to ensure a 98% cycle service level. Data on daily usage (demand) of noodle boxes for the past 30 days, and lead time of the last 20 orders placed with the supplier is available in the Excel file. You may assume that this data is representative and can be used to estimate demand and lead time. The cost of a box of noodles for KungFu Panda restaurant is 2$. The holding cost is 25% of an items value. See below for…
XYZ company has determined that the annual demand for type A material is 20,000 pounds. Salma, who works in her brother's factory, is in charge of purchasing. She estimates that it costs $15 every time an order is placed. This cost includes her wages, the cost of the forms used in placing the order, and so on. Furthermore, she estimates that the cost of carrying one pound in inventory for a year is 0.05 $. Assume that the demand is constant throughout the year. (Note: $ is a dollar sign) a) If we are going to use the EOQ inventory model, mention all the assumptions that are made to validate that model. b) How many pounds of type A material should Huda order (i.e. Q*) at a time if she wishes to minimize total inventory cost? c) How many orders per year would be placed? d) What would the annual ordering cost be? e) What would the average inventory be? f) What would the annual holding cost be?

Solve the below EOQ example. Phone company had the following demand profile and related holding and set up costs: - $0.75 in holding costs per unit = H - Demand rate of 60,000 per year = D - Set up cost of $500 = S What is the EOQ? How many orders they need to make in a year (365 days)? What is the cycle time between the orders?
Historical demands observed for the last 5 months are 1000, 2300, 3200, 1750, and 1200. To match the demand, the company placed respective orders of 1100, 2500, 4000, 1000, and 900 units. (a) Compute the variance of demand. (b) Compute the variance of orders. (c) Compute the bullwhip measure. Is there an amplifying or smoothing effect?
Martina is in charge of ordering brake pads for an auto shop. The daily demand for brake pads is normally distributed with an average of 40 brake pads and a standard deviation of 8 break pads. Currently, it takes 4 days between when Martina places an order for new brake pads and when the order is received. Currently, Martina orders new break pads when there are 184 break pads left in stock. 1) What is the average demand during lead time? 2) What is the standard deviation of demand during lead time? 3)What is the service level provided by Martina's auto shop?
ARP Engines is a producer of outboard motors and ships worldwide. The company has recently set up a new distribution centre and wants to decide on an inventory policy for one of its products.

Compute the Economic Order Quantity (ignore the variation in demand) given the informa- tion gathered by the company. What is the time between orders and the total cost of operating the EOQ inventory policy? b. The company is considering using the EOQ as the order quantity in a continuous review system. Compute the reorder point and safety stock to meet a service level of 99%. What is the cost of this Q system inventory policy? c. If the company thinks to use the TBO (computed in part a) as the period for a…
Ram Roy's firm has developed the following supply, demand, cost, and inventory data. Supply Available Period 1 W N 3 Regular Time 30 35 40 Overtime 15 15 20 Initial inventory Regular-time cost per unit Overtime cost per unit Subcontract 10 10 10 Subcontract cost per unit Carrying cost per unit per month 20 units $100 $160 $250 $2 Demand Forecast 40 55 60 Assume that the initial inventory has no holding cost in the first period and backorders are not permitted. Allocating production capacity to meet demand at a minimum cost using the transportation method, the total cost is $ (enter your response as a whole number).
This is a model most suitable when inventory is filled in in the first Monday of each month only at fixed intervals.
