12. A restaurant uses an average of 8 jars of a special sauce every day. When they place an order, the
jars arrive to the restaurant in a day (lead time is 1 day). Daily usage of sauce has a standard
deviation of 3 jars. They think their demand during the lead time can be modelled with normal
distribution. The manager is willing to accept no more than a 10 percent risk of stockout during
lead time. Calculate at which level of inventory a new order needs to be placed (i.e. calculate the
reorder-point(ROP)).

One particular part, a popular brand of oil filter, is purchased by the warehouse for $1.50 each. It is estimated that the cost of order processing and reciept is a $100 per order. The company uses an inventory carrying charge based on 28 percent annual interest rate. The monthly demand for the filters follows a normal distribution with mean 280 and a standard deviation 77. Order lead time is assumed to be 5 months. Assume that if a filter is demanded when the warehouse is out of stock, then the demand is back-ordered and the cost assessed for each back-ordered demand is $12.80. Determine the following quantities: a. The optimal values of the order quantity and the reorder level. b.

- Rex manufacturing purchases a printed circuit board for use in its automatic, computerized, robotbartender.
