- A manufacturer that produces 100 different products is considering building a new warehouse because there is no room in raw material and product warehouses. Because although some products are more than in the warehouse, some demands that come due to the fact that the ban products are not enough in the warehouse are avoided. For this reason, it plans not to miss any demand by producing and storing enough of all its products, and of course it is considering building a new and larger warehouse to store more products. What can you suggest to this company, taking into account what is described in the course, describe your proposal in maximum detail with the concepts described in the course, as applicable activities.Pane 3. Assume a company receives cash from different geographic areas of $500,000 daily. The average float of the cash receipt is 4 days. Interest rate on savings is 6% per year. If the company institutes a lock-box system, it will reduce the float to two days. It will cost $80,000 to install the lock-box system and an additional monthly fee of $1,000 to operate it. Should the company install the lock-box system?3) A company produces a part that is used in its production process. The company produces the part at a rate of 300 units per day. The daily demand for the product is 180 units. The annual demand for the part is 54,000 units and occurs consistently over the 300 days that the company operates yearly. The company incurs a setup cost of $300 each time the item is produced. The cost of carrying the item in inventory is estimated to be 25 percent of the item's $100 cost. How many units should the company produce each production run to minimize its inventory- associated costs?
