#$1)$ You are tasked with selecting the supplier for a new part from four possible venders A$,$ B$,$

C $,$ and D $.$ You have data related to price, quality, delivery performance, and a sustainability

score $(5$ is best for the sustainability score$).$ Assuming each of these four aspects are equally

weighted by your purchasing organization, which supplier would you choose given the following

information? The critical part dimension for the quality data has a specification of $2\mathrm{.}5+-0\mathrm{.}05cm$;

and daily demand of $30,$ with a daily standard deviation of $20$ units; $365$ days a year. The

organization has a $40\%$ annual inventory carrying cost. The fixed ordering cost is $$200$ per order.

For this part your organization prefers a service level of at least $95\%.$ Please be clear as to how

you are using each piece of information, part of this grade is how you develop and use the data to

find the price $(7$ points$),$ quality $(7$ points$),$ delivery performance $(7$ points$),$ and sustainability

score you use in your analysis. $(40$pts total$)$

#$2)$ Assume your organization focuses primarily on price, assume you are forced to use vendor D

$($even if D did not win your bid in #$1).$ Using the data in the previous problem, how much should

be ordered, and when should be orders be placed if the fixed ordering cost is $$200/$order and the

inventory carrying cost is $40\%$ and what is the total cost of this policy? Suppose vender D offers

a $5\%$ discount off the price, provided the order volume is at least $6000$ units, does this change

your answer regarding how much to order, and, if so$,$ what is the new total cost? $(20$ pts $)$
