Question: For the total demand, which SKU has the highest variation in demand, and which has the lowest? What are the sales rank and product category

  1. For the total demand, which SKU has the highest variation in demand, and which has the lowest? What are the sales rank and product category for these SKUs?
  2. For the two SKUs identified above:
    1. For a 95% service rate, what is the total safety stock inventory for each SKU under the decentralized warehouse structure?
    2. For a 95% service rate, what is the safety stock inventory for each SKU under a centralized warehouse structure?
    3. Compared to the decentralized structure, what is the percent reduction in safety stock for each SKU with the centralized structure?
  3. For all SKUs:
    1. What is the total inventory cost savings (cycle stock and safety stock) associated with a centralized warehouse compared to the decentralized warehouses? Assume the cost of inventory is 75% of the sales price.
  4. What are the costs and benefits of the centralized approach compared to the decentralized approach?
