Question: Brenda opened a pool and spa store i n a lively shopping mall and finds business t o b e booming but she often stocks

Brenda opened a pool and spa store in a lively shopping mall and finds business tobe booming but she often stocks out of key items customers want. The 28-ounce bottle of Super Algaecide (SA)is a high margin SKU, but it stocks out frequently. Ten SA botles come in each box, and Brenda orders boxes from a vendor 160 miles away. Brenda is busy running the store and seldom has time to review store inventory status and order the right quantity at the right time. She collected the following data:
Demand =11 boxes per weekStore open =48 weeksyearOrder cost = $36orderLead-time =3 weeksItem cost = $72boxStd. deviation in weekly demand =6Inventory-holding cost =25 percent per yearService level =92 percent
Brenda wants to consider setting up a fixed-period inventory system for the 28-ounce bottle of Super Algaecide (SA) SKU. At the beginning of the current week, D.J. Kole, the materials manager, checked the inventory level and found 50 boxes on-hand. There were no scheduled receipts and 35 boxes were on backorder.
