Kabel Market store sells electric cable. The demand for cable is normally distributed. The inventory related information at Kabel Market is as follows: Average Annual Demand = 16,900 meters Standard deviation of weekly demand = 28 meters Cable selling price = AMD 640.00 per meter Ordering cost = AMD 1,250.00 per order Lead time = 5 weeks Annual inventory-holding cost estimate = 2.5% of the cable selling price Required service level = 95% Kabel Market works 52 weeks a year. Note: The approximate z values are: for 0.9 ≈ 1.28, for 0.92 ≈ 1.405, for 0.95 ≈ 1.645, for 0.98 ≈ 2.05. Suppose the bar management practices the fixed-QUANTITY ordering system with the use of the economic order quantity. Answer the following questions: (i) How many meters of cable they order from the supplier each time? (ii) When do they place an order? (iii) What is the safety stock?

Inventory Management Reorder The ToyWorld company produces toys out of plastic ordered from an outside supplier. ToyWorld's daily demand for plastic is normally distributed with a mean of 7,800 pounds and a standard deviation of 1,050 pounds. Lead time is 16 days. (Use the Formula Sheet Z table to determine Z values.) ToyWorld uses an average of pounds of plastic during the lead time. Find the average pounds of plastic. If ToyWorld uses a 70% service level, how much safety stock will be used? What is the reorder point if ToyWorld wants to limit the probability of a stockout to 8 percent? What is the service level if ToyWorld reorders when the plastic inventory reaches 134,586 pounds?
Retailers Warehouse (RW) is an independent supplier of household items todepartment stores. RW attempts to stock enough items for a 98 percent serviceprobability.A stainless steel knife set is one item it stocks. Demand (2,400 sets peryear) is relatively stable over the entire year.

RW figures that holding inventory in stock and paying forinterest on borrowed capital, insurance, and so on adds up to about $4holding cost per unit per year.Analysis of the past data shows that the standard deviation of demandfrom retailers is about four units per day for a 365-day year. Lead time toget the order is seven days.a. What is the economic order quantity?b. What is the reorder point?
