Given the following information perform the relevant calculations.
Shared Info
We want to have a 95% chance of avoiding stockouts.
Demand averages 3600 units per year with a daily standard deviation of 6 units per day. Years are 365 days long.
Once ordered it will take 7 days to receive the items.
Each time we place an order we incur a cost of $5. Annual holding costs are $4 per unit annually.
Part A:
1. Calculate the economic order quantity.
2. Calculate the reorder point.
3. How many orders will you place this year?
4. What would you expect the total order cost to be?
Additional Information for Part B (In addition to above info)
Instead of regularly ordering the same amount we've decided to place one order every 2 weeks. Assume that at the time of the next order we have 30 units on hand.
1. Calculate the target inventory
2. Calculate how many units should be ordered.
