Question: Chapter 1 2 , problem 2 6 . A small copy center uses five 5 0 0 - sheet boxes of copy paper a week.

Chapter 12, problem 26.
A small copy center uses five 500-sheet boxes of copy paper a week. Experience suggests that usage can be well approximated by a normal distribution with a mean of five boxes per week and a standard deviation of one-half box per week. Two weeks are required to fill an order for letterhead stationery.
To reduce the inventory cost, the company decides to shorten the FOI review cycle from 7 weeks to 4 weeks. What will be the order quantity if the on hand inventory is 12 box at the review time if we maintain the service level as the same?
