Chapter 11.11, Problem 43P

(a)

Summary Introduction

Interpretation: Considering Problem 28 of this chapter and supposing that two new machines, A and B have to be located in the shop, such that A has 18,18,14,1 and 16 as the expected numbers of loadings being transported to the five existing machines, respectively and B has 14,16,3,15 and 12 as the expected numbers of loadings being transported, respectively. Furthermore supposing that there are a minimum of two loads per hour on an average being transported between the new machines and assuming a rectilinear distance measurement, the problem of determining the most appropriate locations of the new machines as a linear program needs to be worked out.

Concept Introduction: When the differences between the x and y coordinates are added, then it gives the Recti-linear distance between the two points along an orthogonal path.

(b)

Question content area Part 1 Oakwood Hospital is considering using ABC analysis to classify laboratory SKUs into three​ categories: those that will be delivered daily from their supplier​ (Class A​ items), those that will be controlled using a continuous review system​ (B items), and those that will be held in a two bin system​ (C items).   The following table shows the annual dollar usage for a sample of eight SKUs. Fill in the blanks for annual dollar usage below. ​(Enter your responses rounded to the nearest whole​ number.)   Part 2 Rank the SKUs in descending order on the basis of their annual dollar usage and fill in the table with the ranked​ SKU's percentage of dollar usage. ​(Enter your responses rounded to two decimal​ places.)
Sam's Pet Hotel operates 51 weeks per year, 6 days per week, and uses a continuous review inventory system. It purchases kitty litter for $13.00 per bag. The following information is available about these bags: > Demand 70 bags/week > Order cost $58.00/order > Annual holding cost 30 percent of cost > Desired cycle-service level = 80 percent >Lead time 4 weeks (24 working days) > Standard deviation of weekly demand = 15 bags > Current on-hand inventory is 320 bags, with no open orders or backorders. a. Suppose that the weekly demand forecast of 70 bags is incorrect and actual demand averages only 45 bags per week. How much higher will total costs be, owing to the distorted EOQ caused by this forecast error? The costs will be $ higher owing to the error in EOQ. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.)
