- Johnson Co. has implemented a new ordering system and plans to order Disney themed birthday party sets using a continuous review inventory system. The historical data shows that demand for the product is 1200 set per month with a standard deviation of 80 sets per month. The fixed cost of ordering is expected to be $90 per order using the automated system; the inventory holding rate is 24% per year (assume simple interest rate), and each set costs $25, and lead time is 0.5 month, the target fill rate during the lead time is 95%. Given this information calculate (round all numbers to the nearest integer) (40 Points)
- Economic order quantity (7 Points)
- Safety stock (7 Points)
- Reorder point (6 Points)
- Average inventory level (6 Points)
- Total cost per year (inventory holding cost plus fixed cost of ordering) (7 Points)
- Assuming that there is a lead time uncertainty in addition to the demand uncertainty, calculate the new safety stock when the standard deviation of lead time is 6 weeks. (7 Points) (Assume 1 month is equal to 4 weeks)
