Chapter 13, Problem 23P
A company uses 85 circuit boards a day in a manufacturing process. The person who orders the boards follows this rule: Order when the amount on hand drops to 625 boards. Orders are delivered approximately six days after being placed. The delivery time is normal with a mean of six days and a standard deviation of 1.10 days. What is the probability that the supply of circuit boards will be exhausted before the order is received if boards are reordered when the amount on hand drops to 625 boards?

Drug Inc. sells a high runner product that is ordered every 20 days when a sales person visits from one of the pharmaceutical companies. This product has an average daily demand of 1,500 units. The standard deviation of daily demand was calculated from evaluating data over the past three months and was found to be 550 units. Once an order is started, it takes seven days to arrive. The company would like to satisfy 95 percent of their demand. The sales person just arrived, and there are currently 10,000 units in warehouse.
How many units should be ordered during that Time Period? Formula = Reorder point (time period) – On hand inventory
A plastic canister manufacturing company maintains an annual safety stock of 500 units of plastic caps. If the company places an annual purchase order for 1,800 units of these caps, its average annual inventory, in units, is between:
( )1,500 and 1,300
( )3,200 and 3,000
( )2,400 and 2,200
( )1,200 and 1,000
( )1,900 and 1,700
If it takes a supplier four days to deliver an order once it has been placed and the standard deviation of daily demand is 10, which of the following is the standard deviation of demand during the lead time?

- A manufacturer has a production facility that requires 15,604 units of component JY21 per year. Following a long-term contract, the manufacturer purchases component JY21 from a supplier with a lead time of 7 days. The unit purchase cost is $25.6 per unit. The cost to place and process an order from the supplier is $121 per order. The unit inventory carrying cost per year is 10.5 percent of the unit purchase cost.

- A retailer is considering two possible definitions of “in stock”:I. A product is in stock if it has at least one unit on hand at the end of the day.II. A product is in stock if it has satisfied all demand during a day.For a fixed order-up-to level, which definition yields the higher in-stock probability? a. Definition I because if one unit is on hand, then all demand must have been satisfied.b. Definition II because the firm is more likely to satisfy all demand than to end theday with one unit on hand.c. Definition II because if all demand is satisfied, then there must be some inventory left over.d. Either one is possible because it will depend on the particular order-up-to policychosen, the distribution function of demand, and the lead timearrow_forwardPlease answer questions 9 and 10 based on this data. Daily demand for packages of five videotapes at a warehouse store is found to be normally distributed with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 5.
