Textbook Question

Chapter 13, Problem 41P

IM Systems assembles microcomputers from generic components. It purchases its color monitors from a manufacturer in Taiwan: thus, there is a long lead time of 25 days. Daily demand is normally distributed with a mean of 3.5 monitors and a standard deviation of 1.2 monitors. Determine the safety stock and reorder point corresponding to a 90% service level.

IM Systems (Problem 13.40) is considering purchasing monitors from a U.S, manufacturer that would guarantee a lead time of eight days, instead of from the Taiwanese company. Determine the new reorder point given this lead time and identify the factors that would enter into the decision to change manufacturers.

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.

The Harvey Motorcycle Company produces three models: the Tiger, a sure-footed dirt bike; the LX2000, a nimble cafe racer; and the Golden, a large interstate tourer. The month's master production schedule calls for the production of 32 Goldens, 31 LX2000s, and 38 Tigers per 10-hour shift. What average cycle time is required for the assembly line to achieve the production quota in 10 hours? hours per motorcycle. (Enter your response rounded to three decimal places.)

ASK YOUR TEACHER PRACTICE ANOTHER The Clark County Sheriff's Department schedules police officers for 8-hour shifts. The beginning times for the shifts are 8:00 a.m., noon, 4:00 p.m., 8:00 p.m., midnight, and 4:00 a.m. An officer beginning a shift at one of these times works for the next 8 hours. During normal weekday operations, the number of officers needed varies depending on the time of day. The department staffing guidelines require the following minimum number of officers on duty: Time of Day 8:00 A.M. Noon Noon - 4:00 P.M.
