These plans are suitable for large businesses that want to scale their operations with a proven strategy for achieving production targets and meeting customer demands.

- Osprey Sports stocks everything that a musky fisherman could want in the Great North Woods. A particular musky lure has been very popular with local fishermen as well as those who buy lures on the Internet from Osprey Sports. The cost to place orders with the supplier is $3030/order; the demand averages 55 lures per day, with a standard deviation of 11 lure; and the inventory holding cost is $1.001.00/lure/year. The lead time form the supplier is 1010 days, with a standard deviation of 33 days. It is important to maintain a 9898 percent cycle-service level to properly balance service with inventory holding costs.
