Question: Given the following information, formulate an inventory management system. The item is demanded 50 weeks a year. PARAMETER VALUE Item cost $ 9.00 Order cost
| PARAMETER | VALUE | |
|---|---|---|
| Item cost | $ 9.00 | |
| Order cost | $ 202.00 | per order |
| Annual holding cost | 28% | of item cost |
| Annual demand | 24,000 | units |
| Average weekly demand | 480 | per week |
| Standard deviation of weekly demand | 20 | units |
| Lead time | 1 | week |
| Service probability | 90% | |
a. Determine the order quantity and reorder point.
Note: Use Excel's NORMSINV() function to find the correct critical value for the given -level. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round "z" value to 2 decimal places and final answer to the nearest whole number.
| Optimal order quantity | units |
| Reorder point | units |
Note: Do not round any intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to 2 decimal places.
c. Assume a price break of $50 per order was offered for purchase quantities of 2,000 or more units per order. If you took advantage of this price break, how much would you save annually?
Note: Do not round any intermediate calculations (including number of setups per year). Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.
