Sam's Pet Hotel operates 49 weeks per year, 5 days per week. It purchases kitty litter for $6.50 per bag. The following information is available about these bags: Demand =80 bags/week Order cost =$50 /order Annual holding cost =35 percent of cost Desired cycle-service level =99 percent Lead time =1 week(s) (5 working days) Standard deviation of weekly demand =11 bags Current on-hand inventory is 275 bags, with no open orders or backorders. Suppose that Sam's Pet Hotel uses a P system. The average daily demand, d, is 16 bags (80/5), and the standard deviation of daily demand, DaysperWeekStandardDeviationofWeeklyDemand, is 4.919 bags. Refer to the ffandard normal tablis for z-values. a. What P (in working days) and T should be used to approximate the cost trade-offs of the EOQ? The time between orders, P, should be days.
