A retail outlet sells a seasonal product for $10 per unit. The cost of the product is $8 per unit. All units not sold during the regular season are sold for half the retail price in an end-of-season clearance sale. Assume that demand for the product is uniformly distributed between 200 and 800.
What is the recommended order quantity?
What is the probability that at least some customers will ask to purchase the product after the outlet is sold out? That is, what is the probability of a stock-out using your order quantity in part (a)?
To keep customers happy and returning to the store later, the owner feels that stock-outs should be avoided if at all possible. What is your recommended order quantity if the owner is willing to tolerate a 0.15 probability of a stock-out?
Consider a toy retailer with warehouses in St. Louis and Kansas City, Missouri. The warehouses stock an identical popular toy delivered to stores in the two cities. Assume a warehouse serves only stores in its city. Weekly demand for St. Louis is normally distributed with mean 2,000, and standard deviation 400 (that is N(μ = 2,000, σ = 400)). Weekly demand for KansasCity is distributed N(μ = 2,000, σ = 300). We assume that the two cities are far enough apart so that demand in the two cities is independent.The following parameters are seen by both warehouses:Replenishment lead time in weeks ~ N(μ = 2, σ = 0.1);Fixed shipping cost of replenishment: $500;Cost per toy: $10; andHolding cost per toy 20 percent of toy’s value per year.How many toys should each location order at a time and when should they reorder if they want a 99 percent cycle service level? What if they pool the two locations?
Alfa Inc. uses a 2-week periodic review for its notebook store
inventory. Mean and standard deviation of weekly sales are 16
and 5 respectively. The lead time is 3 days. The mean and
standard deviation of lead-time demand are 8 and 3.5
respectively.
1.What is the mean and standard deviation of demand during the
review period plus the lead-time period?
2.Assuming that the demand has a normal probability
distribution, what is the replenishment level that will provide an
expected stockout rate of one per year?
3.lf there are 18 notebooks in the inventory, how many
notebooks should be ordered?

- Assume the demand for a companys drug Wozac during the current year is 50,000, and assume demand will grow at 5% a year. If the company builds a plant that can produce x units of Wozac per year, it will cost 16x. Each unit of Wozac is sold for 3. Each unit of Wozac produced incurs a variable production cost of 0.20. It costs 0.40 per year to operate a unit of capacity. Determine how large a Wozac plant the company should build to maximize its expected profit over the next 10 years.arrow_forwardSix months before its annual convention, the American Medical Association must determine how many rooms to reserve. At this time, the AMA can reserve rooms at a cost of 150 per room. The AMA believes the number of doctors attending the convention will be normally distributed with a mean of 5000 and a standard deviation of 1000. If the number of people attending the convention exceeds the number of rooms reserved, extra rooms must be reserved at a cost of 250 per room. a. Use simulation with @RISK to determine the number of rooms that should be reserved to minimize the expected cost to the AMA. Try possible values from 4100 to 4900 in increments of 100. b. Redo part a for the case where the number attending has a triangular distribution with minimum value 2000, maximum value 7000, and most likely value 5000. Does this change the substantive results from part a?arrow_forwardUse @RISK to analyze the sweatshirt situation in Problem 14 of the previous section. Do this for the discrete distributions given in the problem. Then do it for normal distributions. For the normal case, assume that the regular demand is normally distributed with mean 9800 and standard deviation 1300 and that the demand at the reduced price is normally distributed with mean 3800 and standard deviation 1400.arrow_forward

The manufacturer sells a product to the retailer, who in turn sells in the market. Demand E is uncertain with cumulative distribution function F (·)and probability density function f (·). Since the production lead time is much longer thanthe selling season, the retailer must place a single order before demand is realized and cannotreplenish her inventory during the season. The retailer sells the product at an exogenousand fixed retail price r. The manufacturer produces the product at a unit cost of c. Themanufacturer uses a linear sales rebate contract and determines the following contract terms:For each unit ordered, he charges the retailer a wholesale price w, and for each unit sold, hepays the retailer a rebate s.
