For this question you will need to calculate 2 different EOQ and ROP values and interpret the results. For both EOQ and ROP, give your final answer in full sock sets (ROUND UP to the next whole number). The specific questions to answer are indicated in items a,b, and c below. Additional tips to calculate the EOQ and ROP are provided in the bullet points that follow.
a) Calculate EOQ and ROP for FY2023 based on the FY2023 forecast value (not the FY2024 forecast) that you determined to be most accurate in Question #1.
b) Calculate the EOQ and ROP based upon actual demand for FY2023
c) Using the 2023 actual demand (D), calculate the total ordering and inventory holding costs based on each of the EOQ's you calculated above and the current Q(6,000) that Throx is using.
i. Compare the total ordering and inventory holding costs from the three results and explain what drives the differences
d) What are the implications of the ROP Throx is currently using versus the ROP you calculated based on Actual Demand?
Additional tips:
Use a service level of )=(1.65 when calculating the ROP.
For the standard deviation of weekly demand, use the data provided in the table on page 2 of the case with the FY2023 forecast for all approaches.
