Assume an inventory control system for an independent demand item where the Lead-time is 4 days and the Review Period is 15 days. The expected demand for the end-item is 20,000 units per year.
Q#4. Assume, further, that the manager wants to achieve a cycle service level of 95% in her Q system and she knows that the daily average demand is 10 units (demand is normally distributed). She has determined that her facility is open 250 days a year; her ordering cost is $50; and the holding cost is $4 per unit per year. She can assume that lead-time is 4 days; review period is 15 days; and standard deviation of daily demand is 2 units. [Round up all answers, if needed]
