The Petroco Company uses a highly toxic chemical in one of its manufacturing processes. It must have the product delivered by special cargo trucks designed for safe shipment of chemicals. As such, ordering (and delivery) costs are relatively high, at $2,600 per order. The chemical product is packaged in 1-gallon plastic containers. The cost of holding the chemical in storage is $50 per gallon per year. The annual demand for the chemical, which is constant over time, is 2,000 gallons per year. The lead time from time of order placement until receipt is 10 days. The company operates 310 working days per year. Compute the optimal order quantity, the total minimum inventory cost, and the reorder point.

- The materials manager for a billiard ball maker must periodically place orders for resin, one of the raw materials used in producing billiard balls. She knows that manufacturing uses resin at a rate of 50 kilograms each day, and that it costs $.04 per day to carry a kilogram of resin in inventory. She also knows that the order costs for resin are $100 per order, and that the lead time for delivery is four days. If the order size was 1,000 kilograms of resin, what would be the average inventory level?arrow_forwardThe Pacific Lumber Company and Mill processes 10,000 logs annually, operating 250 days peryear. Immediately upon receiving an order, the logging company’s supplier begins delivery tothe lumber mill, at a rate of 60 logs per day.

Determine The total inventory cost associated with the optimal order quantityarrow_forwardA restaurant uses 5,000 quart bottles of ketchup each year. The ketchup costs $3.00 per bottle and is served only in whole bottles because its taste quickly deteriorates. The restaurant figures that it costs $10.00 each time an order is placed, and holding costs are 20 percent of the purchase price. It takes 3 weeks for an order to arrive. The restaurant operates 50 weeks per year. The restaurant would like to use an inventory system that minimizes inventory cost. The restaurant has figured that the most economical order size or EOQ is approx. 409 (rounding up the decimals). Suppose that things have become uncertain and that customer demand is no more constant. Customer demand is now normally distributed with mean being the same as given in the problem description and standard deviation = 30 units per week. The supply source is still very reliable and as a result the lead time is constant. Find out the safety stock needed to achieve 95% customer service level. O 55 65 075 85 None of…arrow_forward

- The annual demand for a product is 16,800 units. The weekly demand is 323 units, with a standard deviation of 95 units. The cost to place an order is $31.50, and the time from ordering to receipt is two weeks. The annual inventory carrying cost is $0.20 per unit. Find the optimal order quantity.arrow_forwardA company incurs an ordering cost of $232 each time it places an order, regardless of the order size. The item's cost is $5, and the annual carrying charge for the item is 30%. If the annual demand for this item is 2,880 and the company's order quantity (Q) is 944, calculate its total annualized cost of inventory.

- I need a detailed explanation on how to solve this problem: A paint shop implements an inventory policy on its stock of white paint, which costs the store $6 per can. Monthly demand for cans of white paint is normal with mean 28 and standard deviation 8. The replenishment lead time is 14 weeks. Excess demand is backordered, but costs $10 per back ordered can in labor and loss of goodwill. There is a fixed cost of $15 per order, and the holding cost is based on 30% interest rate per annum. In your computations, assume 4 weeks per month. - Write down the model name and parameters. - What are the optimal lot size and reorder points for white paint (include the formulas)? - What is the optimal safety stock (include the formula)? *** Suppose the paint shop from the above problem adopts a service level policy. - What are the optimal lot size and reorder points for white paint, such that 90% of the cycles are filled without backordering (include all formulas)? - What is the fill rate…arrow_forwardJill's Job Shop buys two parts (Tegdiws and Widgets) for use in its production system from two different suppliers.
