The materials manager for a billiard ball maker must periodically place orders for resin, one of the raw materials used in producing billiard balls. 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. She also knows that the order costs for resin are $100 per order, and that the lead time for delivery is four days. If the order size was 1,000 kilograms of resin, what would be the average inventory level?

A company operates for 50 weeks a year and uses a fixed quantity inventory system for one of its most important items. Below are the characteristics for the item: Weekly demand follows normal distribution: mean of 400 units and standard deviation of 100 units Order Cost = $40 per order Annual Holding cost = $2/unit/year Desired service level = 95% (z = 1.645) Lead Time = 4 weeks Economic Order Quantity (EOO) = 894 units Now suppose that the management is considering switching to a fixed time inventory system where the time between orders is 2 weeks. Everything else being the same as the information provided for the original problem, which system (Q or P system) is likely to have more safety stock? Please explain why.
The soft goods department of a large department store sells 175 units per month of a certain large bath towel. The unit cost of a towel to the store is $2.50 and the cost of placing an order has been estimated to be $12.00. The store uses an inventory carrying charge of I = 27% per year. Determine (b) the order frequency,
As the Manager of Branson’s Department Store, you are responsible for ensuring that reorder quantities for the various items have been correctly established. You decide to test one item and choose product Z. A continuous review inventory policy has been used, so you examine this as well as other records and come up with the following data: Cost per unit $35 Holding cost 20 percent of unit cost Average daily demand 10 units Ordering cost $30 per order Standard deviation of daily demand 3 units Delivery lead time 4 days Because customers generally do not wait but go elsewhere, you decide on a service probability of 90 percent. Assume that Branson’s Department Store operates 320 days per year. [What is the annual demand (D)? Determine the optimal order quantity, Q*. Determine the reorder point (R) if demand is constant. Determine the reorder point (R) if demand is varies.
It is your responsibility, as the new head of the automotive section of Nichols Department Store, to ensure that reorder quantities for the various items have been correctly established. You decide to test one item and choose Michelin tires, XW size 185 × 14 BSW. A perpetual inventory system has been used, so you examine this as well as other records and come up with the following data: Cost per tire $35 each Holding cost 20 percent of tire cost per year Demand 1,000 per year Ordering cost $20 per order Standard deviation of daily demand 3 tires Delivery lead time 4 days Because customers generally do not wait for tires but go elsewhere, you decide on a service probability of 98 percent. Assume the demand occurs 365 days per year. Determine the order quantity. Note: Round your answer to the nearest whole number. Determine the reorder point. Note: Use Excel's NORM.S.INV() function to find the z value. Round z value to 2 decimal places and final answer to the…
A store has collected the following information on one of its products:Demand = 4,500 units/year Standard deviation of weekly demand = 12 units Ordering costs = $40/order Holding costs = $3/unit/year Cycle-service level = 90% (z for 90% = 1.28) Lead-time = 2 weeks Number of weeks per year = 52 weeks a. If a firm uses the continuous review system to control the inventory, what would be the order quantity and reorder point?
The owner and manager of a hardware store reevaluates his inventory policy for hammers. sells an average of 50 hammers a month, so you have placed purchase orders for 50 hammers with a distributor at a cost of $20 each at the end of each month. But the owner does not place all the store orders and find that this takes much of your time. He estimates that the value of his time spent ordering hammers is $75. a) What must be the unit cost of maintaining hammers for the current policy of the hardware store to be Optimal according to the EOQ model? b) If the distributor delivers an order for hammers in 5 business days (out of an average of 25 per month), what should be the reorder point, according to the EOQ model?
Palin’s Muffler Shop has one standard muffler that fits a large variety of cars. The shop wishes to establish a periodic review system to manage inventory of this standard muffler. Use the information in the following table to determine the optimal inventory target level (or order-up-to level).

What is the optimal target level (order-up-to level)? If the service probability requirement is 93 percent, the optimal target level will: Increase Decrease Stay the same
A golf specialty wholesaler operates 50 weeks per year. Management is trying to determine an inventory policy for its 1-irons, which have the following characteristics: > Demand (D) = 2,000 units/year > Demand is normally distributed > Standard deviation of weekly demand = 2 units > Ordering cost = $30/order > Annual holding cost (H) = $5.00/unit > Desired cycle-service level = 85% > Lead time (L) = 4 weeks Refer to the standard normal table for z-values. a. If the company uses a periodic review system, P should be 3.87 weeks. (Enter your response rounded to the nearest whole number.) T should be units. (Enter your response rounded to the nearest whole number.)
The campus bookstore sells 4,000 sets of graduation regalia each year. Placing an order from their supplier costs $25 regardless of order quantity, so they usually place a large order (a half year's supply) at a time.
