    Data Supplier A Supplier L
    Procurement cost/ unit, P$11.80$10.85
    Tariff cost/ unit,
    Tc
    $0.00$0.46
    Unit transportation cost,

    Cο
    $155$195
    Holding cost per unit,
    Ch
    $1.45$1.10
    Lead time, L45100

The different cost components that are involved in this case are:

   Total procurement cost

   Total tariff cost

   Total transportation cost

   Annual ordering cost

   Annual inventory carrying cost

   Average annual pipeline Inventory cost

Compute these costs for all the three suppliers and select based on the least total cost of the supply chain.

The following formulae will be used:

Total procurement cost = D.P

Total tariff cost = D.Te

Total transportation cost = D.Tm

Annual ordering cost = (DQ).Cο

Annual carrying cost = (Q2).Ch

Annual pipeline inventory cost = (Dd).L.Ch

Where, D= annual demand, P= procurement cost per unit, Tc = tariff cost per unit, Tm = unit transportation cost, Cο = ordering cost per order, Ch = unit carrying cost per annum, Q = order size, d = number of days in a year, and L = lead time.

Note the computations done in the following Excel format.

The clinic has started receiving complaints from patients that the waiting time is too long and has asked you to investigate whether this problem can be solved. Upon arrival, customers first receive a series of paperwork from the receptionist and fill out relevant information such as personal health records and insurance provider.

A dentist then performs the checkup and discusses any issues with the patient. Based on conversations with staff members at the clinic, you have obtained the following information on the process: a. It takes about 5 minutes for a customer to fill out the paperwork. b. Entry of information on the paperwork into the system and verification with past records takes another 5 minutes…
