OA. The wholesaler is contributing to the bullwhip effect.
B. Neither amplification nor smoothing is present.
OC. The bullwhip measure for the wholesaler equals 0.70.
D. The wholesaler is providing both amplification and smoothing.
O E. The wholesaler is providing a dampening (anti-bullwhip) effect.

13 Pam’s demand for hats is normally distributed with mean 500 and standard deviation 100.

An electronics retailer wants to develop an inventory policy to achieve 99% chance of not getting stockouts for a chip. The daily demand for the chip is estimated to be Normal with mean 200 and standard deviation of 20. They count the chip inventory every 2 weeks to place an order, and it takes 11 days for the ordered chips to be delivered. The retailer operates 7 days a week, 365 days a year. They are going to implement an order-up-to model. A) What base stock level should they choose? B) What is the number of chips they would have on order (on average)? C) When they checked their inventory of chips to place a new order, they found that they ran out of stock completely. In addition, they have 10 chips on way to be delivered, while there are five customers who paid for 20 chips in total and are waiting to receive their chips. How many chips should the retailer order?
Please provide STEP BY STEP instructions using the SINGLE PERIOD MODEL. Cynthia Knott’s oyster bar buys fresh Louisiana oysters for $5 per pound and sells them for $9 per pound. Any oysters not sold that day are sold to her cousin, who has a nearby grocery store, for $2 per pound. Cynthia believes that demand follows the normal distribution, with a mean of 100 pounds and a standard deviation of 15 pounds. How many pounds should she order each day?
In the fashion retail industry transshipment is the flow of the products from a retail location to another one to satisfy the demand at the receiver location. Sender only sends a product if it has excess inventory to its demand and it occurs to rebalance the inventory among retail locations. Assume that there is a retailer with I stores. There are O products nominated for transshipment. The available inventory rio, i = 1,2, ..., I, o = 1,2, ..., 0, and demand levels dio, i = 1,2, ..., I, o = 1,2, ..., 0, for all O, stores are known. Moreover, the sales prices of these products are known and are the same in all stores, po, o = 1,2, ... 0. There is a transportation cost when a product is sent from a store to another, Cij, i, j = = 1, 2, ... D which is independent for the type of the product. Assume that if a product o is transshipped from store i, all its available inventory, i.e., rio, must be sent to a single store, thus, partial transshipment is not allowed. However, a store can…
Inventory can be very expensive for firms to hold and manage. One measure of how effective a firm is at managing their inventory is the inventory sales ratio (inventory/sales). Assume a firm has quarterly sales of 1 million and inventory is normally distributed with a mean of $500k and a standard deviation of $100k. simulate the expected inventory to sales ratio for 10,000 iterations. What is the expected mean inventory to sales ratio? What is the probability that the inventory sales ratio is less than 0.5?
Consider a consumer who searches to buy a new coffee mug and assume the only feature she cares about is the mug's price. Also, suppose she has visited a bookstore and learned that the price of a mug there was $12.99. She is aware of two other stores, Store A and Store B, that also sell mugs and she is considering whether to also search those stores. The consumer expects these stores to charge $9.99 and $11.99, respectively, for a mug. For what search cost might the consumer include both Store À and Store B in her consideration set? A. $0.99 B. $1.49 C. $1.99 D. $2.49 E. $2.99
You are conducting a retrospective analysis for an Order-Up-To system (thus, the unsold inventory at the end of a week is carried over to the next week). The beginning inventory in week 1 is 150 units, the demand in week 1 is 180 units and the demand during week 2 is 250 units. If you receive a shipment of 115 units every week, at the end of week 2, the inventory level is 180 the inventory level is 200 the inventory level is 310 the backorder level is 30 the backorder level is 50 none of the above is correct
Consider a toy retailer with warehouses in St. Louis and Kansas City, Missouri. The warehouses stock an identical popular toy delivered to stores in the two cities. Assume a warehouse serves only stores in its city. Weekly demand for St. Louis is normally distributed with mean 2,000, and standard deviation 400 (that is N(μ = 2,000, σ = 400)). Weekly demand for KansasCity is distributed N(μ = 2,000, σ = 300). We assume that the two cities are far enough apart so that demand in the two cities is independent.The following parameters are seen by both warehouses:Replenishment lead time in weeks ~ N(μ = 2, σ = 0.1);Fixed shipping cost of replenishment: $500;Cost per toy: $10; andHolding cost per toy 20 percent of toy’s value per year.How many toys should each location order at a time and when should they reorder if they want a 99 percent cycle service level? What if they pool the two locations?
Demand for team swimsuits at a local sports store is normally distributed with a mean of 205 per day and a standard deviation of 18, while the lead time for new orders of swimsuits is 12 days with a standard deviation of 6. the standard deviation of demand during lead time,
A coffee shop consumes 350 lbs of coffee per week at a steady rate. The coffee shop buys coffee from a supplier at the cost of $10 per lb, and ordering cost of $5 per order. The supplier takes 8 days to deliver an order (assume that 1 week = 7 days). What should be the reorder point (in pounds) for the coffee shop (i.e., at what level of inventory it should place an order with the supplier).
If it takes a supplier four days to deliver an order once it has been placed and the standard deviation of daily demand is 10, which of the following is the standard deviation of demand during the lead time?
