Describe vendor-managed inventory (VMI). How is it related to outsourcing?
Explain : EOQ, Lead time, Economies of scale, Distribution center, Pallet.
A hospital treating COVID patients needs to buy
gloves, gowns, and masks for the health care
professionals working at the facility. The hospital
has two suppliers who can supply the items. The
cost, and the maximum number of each item each
supplier can provide is given below:
Supplier A
Supplier B
Gloves (cost, max
units)
($0.30/unit,
20,000)
($0.35/unit,
11,000)
Gowns Masks
($2.00, ($2.50,
5000)
10,000)
($1.75,
7000)
($2.55, 9,500)
The hospital immediately needs 30,000 units of
gloves, 5500 units of gowns, and 12,500 masks. To
account for the economies of scale in logistics, the
Supplier A has a requirement of at least 25,000
units in the order, while Supplier B has a
requirement of a minimum order size of 10,000
units and a maximum order size of 20,000.
What is is the minimum total cost of order that the
hospital needs to pay to the suppliers to get the
items?

The term is derived from physics. When cracking a whip, someone just has to snap their wrist and it causes a wave like effect that increases with a chain reaction. The bullwhip effect is a term that was first used in the 1990s. The makers of Pampers had many changes in order volumes, when usually diapers were bought at a constant rate (The Bullwhip effect : History and solutions, 2021). This caused the company to receive hard hits in demand with each new order from the retailers. For example, during the Covid-19 pandemic, everyone was told to stay home, go to school from home, and work from home. This caused the need for many more computers and electronic…arrow_forward(a) Elaborate the FIVE (5) types of inventory in a manufacturing company in Malaysia. please provide detailed answer.Thank youarrow_forward

The other area manufactures systems that are highly customized and manufactured as a one- off, in exceptional cases as a small series with 3 or 4 identical systems. Only the standard parts are identical for all systems, but with a different required quantity. According to which principle would you supply the two production areas through central logistics?
