Chapter 13, Problem 1P

AV City stocks and sells a particular brand of laptop. It costs the firm $625 each time it places an order with the manufacturer for the laptops. The cost of carrying one laptop in inventory for a year is $130. The store manager estimates that total annual demand for the laptops will be 1500 units, with a constant demand rate throughout the year. Orders are received within minutes after placement from a local warehouse maintained by the manufacturer. The store policy is never to have stockouts of the laptops. The store is open for business every day of the year except Christmas Day. Determine the following:

  1. a. Optimal order quantity per order
  2. b. Minimum total annual inventory costs
  3. c. The number of orders per year
  4. d. The time between orders (in working days)

A 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…

It takes approximately 2 weeks​ (14 days) for an order of steel bolts to arrive once the order has been placed. The demand for bolts is fairly​ constant; on the​ average, the​ manager, Michelle​ Wu, has observed that the hardware store sells 500 of these bolts each day.   Because the demand is fairly​ constant, Michelle believes that she can avoid stockouts completely if she orders the bolts at the correct time.
