The following information is available about these bags: > Demand = 75 bags/week > Order cost = $60/order > Annual holding cost = 35 percent of cost > Desired cycle-service level = 98 percent > Lead time = 1 week(s) (7 working days) > Standard deviation of weekly demand = 6 bags > Current on-hand inventory is 250 bags, with no open orders or backorders. Suppose that Sam's Cat Hotel uses a P system. The average daily demand, d, is 11 bags (75/7), and the Standard Deviation of Weekly Demand standard deviation of daily demand, is 2.268 bags.
