Need help with the questions!!!

Objective: This activity has the purpose of helping students to analyze a varied and unusual menus in the resort city Student Instructions: - Read the Case Study: Managing Mollusks in order to answer two (2) questions below Create and Post your comment on the Discussion Forum Read your classmates comments and write comments for at least two of your classmates writings The value of the Case Study is 20 points The deadline for the questions can be found in "Tools" focated in Calendar in the Blackboard platform How should inventory policies for sea scallops be established if they are to be kept fresh before preparation? Kept frozen before preparation? 2 Astuming his inventory policy is consistent with his service policy has Tom done a thorough and precise job? 3. Briefly describe the selection and use of demand distributions for this menu item, Case Study: Managing Molusks Tando's Rostaurant of Virginia Beach offers one of the most varied and unusual menus in the resort city. The restaurant has acquired a fine reputation for exquisite and unique dishes and is best known for its trees that are ethnic adaptations of sea scalops. Due to the unus preparation of these dishes, this seafood has become the largest-seling menu item Tando's does not purchase scallopa locally, but receives shipments from a purveyor who serves its sister operation Tando's of Branford Connecticut This practice is followed for quality and price reasons Tando's management feels the transportation charges are minimal compared to the vaze derived from other factors. The New England Purveyor has an established route to other local operations and is able to fill orders within two days. Tom Gengler one of the proprietors has been ordering scalops by intuition His results are dissatisfying Tando's experience sporlage and shortages too frequently Tom is certain that now is a good time to reconsiders service policy and to test theoretical inventory methods as wel Tom has spent the greater part of the week determining the cost data for the scalops and has remited results as follows Annual demand - 2500 dozen Ordering cost - $25 per order Purchase cost $7/dozen Stockout cost $350 dozen Holding cost 50% of value Knowing the unpredictability of customers. Tom cringen at estimating daty demand. Even though scalope are a perennial favorite domand can be erratic Based on scanty documentation he has constructed a table of daily demand for the scalops Demand dozida Frequency 35 35 B 15 9 6 10 5 10 Knowing the unpredictability of customers.

Considenng the Poisson an adequate surrogate and stockouts as lost sales, he has found a reorder point of 16 docent with an apparent safety stock of 3 dozen
