Question 11
You are responsible for maintaining an appropriate amount of inventory for Component A, using a Q-type
inventory control system (fixed quantity, continuous review). Your company estimates your ordering cost to

- QUESTION 5 Peet's Coffees in Menlo Park, California, sells Melitta Number 101 coffee filters at a fairly steady rate of about 70 boxes of filters monthly. The filters are ordered from a supplier in Trenton, New Jersey. Peet's manager is interested in applying some inventory theory to determine the best replenishment strategy for the filters. Peet's pays $2.80 per box of filters and estimates that fixed costs of employee time for placing and receiving orders amount to about $20. Peet's uses a 22 percent annual interest rate to compute holding costs. How large a standing order should Peet's have with its supplier in Trenton, and how often should these orders be placed?

- question #2 Same problem statement: Weekly demand for DVD-Rs at a retailer is normally distributed with a mean of 1,000 boxes and a standard deviation of 150. Currently, the store places orders to the supplier, with a reorder point of 4,200 boxes. The order quantity to the supplier is fixed at 5,000 boxes. Replenishment lead time is 4 weeks, fixed order cost per order is $100, each box costs the retailer $10, and the inventory holding cost is 25% per year. If the retailer wants to achieve a 99% service level (use the z-value with one decimal, as in Table 13.4 on page 400 of the textbook), what should be the safety stock value?

(round your response to the nearest whole number) 346 24 385 800 12.000arrow_forwardQuestion 1 Consider again managing inventory for product 101, provided by Supplier A. Recall thatdemand for 101 is approximately d = 200 units per week. You pay a purchase cost p = $500per unit and value your inventory at r = $550 per unit. You estimate your inventory carry-ing cost rate at r = 18% per year; storing one item of product 101 in your DC requires anequivalent rent (storage cost) of s = $10 per unit per year.Use truckload shipping for your orders of product 101; recall then that your total fixedcost (k + F ) = $900 for any order of size no greater than Q = 700 units. You estimate atotal lead time (order processing plus transit time) of 12 days for these shipments.To reduce your logistics costs, you decide that it might be worthwhile to backorder someof the customer demand you face each cycle. When backordering, you will delay your out-bound shipping of some of your customers’ orders.arrow_forward
