A manufacturing organization has been consuming a certain item in large quantities and is currently procuring the item from Supplier A. The price offered by the supplier is Rs 400 per piece. The ordering cost is Rs 2,800 per order and the carrying cost is Rs 350. The annual demand for the item is 10,000 units. The supplier is currently not offering any discount. However, another supplier, Supplier B, is willing to offer the following discount structure:
Up to an order size of 999= No discount
For an order size of 1,0001,999=2 per cent discount in price
For an order size of 2,000 and above =5 per cent discount in price
Switching over to this supplier means incurring an initial cost of Rs 15,000. This cost is primarily to set-up new communication systems with the new supplier.
What should the company do in the light of the new offer?
