Develop a software that determines the optimal lot size () and reorder point () for a given data.
1. The software should first request the costs (unit cost, ordering cost, penalty cost) and interest
rate. Then, it should also determine the holding cost based on the unit cost and interested rate
provided.
2. The software should request the lead time, lead time demand and lead time standard
deviation. Based on the lead time and lead time demand provided, the software should
determine the annual demand.
3. The Z-Chart & Loss Function Table should be plugged into the software such that normal
distribution values and loss function values must be automatically looked up by the program
during the iteration.
4. In the end, the software should find the following decision variables and performance
measures.
Optimal lot size and reorder point
The number of iterations the software run to obtain the optimal lot size and reorder point
The safety stock
Average annual holding, setup and penalty costs
Average time between the placement of orders
The proportion of order cycles in which no stock out occurs
The proportion of demands that are not met
