Problem 1: The lead-time of an integrated services router is 4 weeks (time from customer order to shipment from CISCO). The product BOM has 100+ components. Standard cost of the BOM is $100. Below is the list of unique components with LT > 8 weeks and with only one qualified supplier. Marketing and Sales provided their best estimate of demand during the consensus forecast meeting (1000 units per quarter) but they foresee a risk of 50% upside to their numbers. This is an important product and its successful launch is very critical to regain lost market share from Huawei.

What will be the inventory cost if team decides to have SI only for the single source components with LT > 8 weeks.
