Question: Anand Corporation uses a fixed order quantity system and operates 52 weeks a year. It purchases battery packs for $11.70 each and uses 90 packs/week.

Anand Corporation uses a fixed order quantity system and operates 52 weeks a year. It purchases battery packs for $11.70 each and uses 90 packs/week. The setup (ordering) cost is $54 per order and the holding cost is 27 percent of the cost. They would like to achieve a cycle service level of 80 percent. Their lead time is 3 weeks with a standard deviation of weekly demand of 15 packs.

  1. If the average demand is actually 60 packs instead of 90 packs and the standard deviation of weekly demand is 10 units, what would the total cost be? (NOTE: you will have to calculate a revised EOQ and SS for this problem and use your EOQ as your lot size)
