Problem 3 (30 points) Consider four SKUs that are competing for space in a forward pick area. Each forward location holds a single pallet and will be restocked from bulk storage. Assume you forecast the following activity during the next planning period (where demands and minimum/maximum to be stored are measured in pallets). SKU Carton Picks Carton Demand Pallet Demand l; Ui 10 20 A B C D 100 200 200 400 50 10 5 10 2 2. 1 1 3 5 2 10 70 80 3-1. Compute and rank the bids for space, assuming the forward pick area is the ground floor of selective rack that is to be used only for case-picking (all full pallets must be picked from bulk storage). Assume that on average it requires 1 minute per pick from the ground level, 2 minutes from a higher level, and 3 minutes per restock. 3-2. Continuing the problem of part A: How would the space be allocated if it is allowed to pick full pallets from the forward pick area? Compute and rank the bids for space
