Tracy McCoy is the office administrator for the department of management science at Tech. The faculty uses a lot of printer paper, and although Tracy is constantly reordering, paper frequently runs out. She orders the paper from the university central stores. Several faculty members have determined that the lead time to receive an order is normally distributed, with a mean of 2 days and a standard deviation of 0.5 day. The faculty has also determined that daily demand for the paper is normally distributed, with a mean of 2 packages and a standard deviation of 0.8 package. What reorder point should Tracy use in order not to run out 99% of the time?
Martina is in charge of ordering brake pads for an auto shop. The daily demand for brake pads is normally distributed with an average of 40 brake pads and a standard deviation of 8 break pads. Currently, it takes 4 days between when Martina places an order for new brake pads and when the order is received. Currently, Martina orders new break pads when there are 184 break pads left in stock.
1) What is the average demand during lead time?
2) What is the standard deviation of demand during lead time?
3)What is the service level provided by Martina's auto shop?

- A manager must set up inventory ordering systems for two new production items, P34 and P35.P34 can be ordered at any time, but P35 can be ordered only once every four weeks. The companyoperates 50 weeks a year, and the weekly usage rates for both items are normally distributed. Themanager has gathered the following information about the items.Item P34 Item P35Average weekly demand 60 units 70 unitsStandard deviation 4 units per week 5 units per weekUnit cost $15 $20Annual holding cost 30% 30%Ordering cost $70 $30Lead time 2 weeks 2 weeksAcceptable stockout risk 2.5% 2.5%a.

Mr. Stone is currently replenishing the vending machine to its full capacity of 1000 cans every Monday morning, i.e., he uses a Base Stock System with review period P=7 days. Based on a recent demand analysis by Mr. Stone, the daily demand follows approximately a normal distribution with mean 140 and a standard derivation of 50. ä (a) What is the current stockout probability between two consecutive replenishment periods? ä (b) Mr. Stone is considering a more frequent replenishment policy to improve the cycle-service level to at most 1% stockout probability. To achieve this, what would be the maximum length (in days) of the replenishment periods?arrow_forward
- The University Bookstore at Tech stocks the required textbook for Management Science 2405. The demand for this text is 1,200 copies per year. The cost of placing an order is $350, and the annual carrying cost is $2.75 per book. If a student requests the book and it is not in stock, the student will likely go to the privately owned Tech Bookstore. It is likely that the student will not buy books at the University Bookstore in the future; thus the shortage cost to the University Bookstore is estimated to be $45 per book. Determine the optimal order size, the maximum shortage level, and the total inventory cost.arrow_forwardLindsay Electronics, a small manufacturer of electronic research equipment, has approximately 7,100 items in its inventory and has hired Joan Blasco-Paul to manage its inventory. Joan has determined that 9% of the items in inventory are A items, 39% are B items, and 52% are C items. She would like to set up a system in which all A items are counted monthly (every 19 working days), all B items are counted quarterly (every 60 working days), and all C items are counted semiannually (every 119 working days). How many items need to be counted each day? The total number of items that need to be counted each day is _______ items (round your response to the nearest whole number). To find the number of items counted per day for each class of items, use the following formula: Number of items counted per day=Inventoryx Percent of inventory/ Working days. Sum the number of items for each class to arrive at the total number of items that need to be counted each day.arrow_forwardLindsay Electronics, a small manufacturer of electronic research equipment, has approximately 7,100 items in its inventory and has hired Joan Blasco-Paul to manage its inventory.

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.

The cost of the paper on which the card is printed is $0.10 per card, and the cost of printing is $0.42 per card. The company receives $2.40 per card sold. Since the cards have the current year printed on them, unsold cards have no salvage value. Based on past data, the number of customers from Los Angeles is normally distributed with a mean of 2,500 and a standard deviation of 600. What is the optimal production quantity for the card for Los Angeles, if Wholemark only makes a one-time production for this area? Round to the nearest integer.arrow_forward
