IDIS Climate Control Systems Inc. uses a base-stock periodic review inventory management system to order a custom-made quick connector adapter. The demand for the adapter is 1,584 units a year with a standard deviation of 8 units per week. The fixed trucking cost is $150 per order pick up from the supplier. The inventory holding cost per adapter per year is $11. The lead time is 3 months. The company is considering ordering a 5-ton condenser joint with the quick connector adapter.
