This lab is to create an Excel program for solving safety stock problem by calculating the mean and standard deviation from a random variable like the Example problem in page 267 or Problem 11.15 in page 282. In this lab, you have to create two tables/calculations: Table 1 and Table 2 below by using the data given in Table 3This lab is to create an Excel program for solving safety stock

The data used in this lab is given below for 80 observations for an inventory item in Table 3 \begin{tabular}{|r|r|r|r|r|r|r|r|r|r|} \hline 38 & 46 & 75 & 44 & 41 & 55 & 24 & 42 & 40 & 52 \\ \hline 60 & 41 & 47 & 43 & 55 & 45 & 49 & 43 & 32 & 52 \\ \hline 25 & 48 & 54 & 38 & 30 & 71 & 45 & 62 & 45 & 43 \\ \hline 55 & 45 & 51 & 49 & 57 & 48 & 43 & 24 & 43 & 48 \\ \hline 33 & 51 & 51 & 43 & 40 & 44 & 50 & 62 & 40 & 43 \\ \hline 42 & 41 & 50 & 64 & 48 & 56 & 50 & 43 & 27 & 48 \\ \hline 35 & 57 & 46 & 32 & 51 & 35 & 48 & 48 & 49 \\ \hline 49 & 62 & 50 & 34 & 50 & 55 & 52 & 44 & 35 \\ \hline \end{tabular} Table 2 Calculate safety stock when Service Lavel is given. Just using Problem 11.15 as example: If a SS of 250 is at hand, what is the service level? Solution: Ordering point =2000+250=2250 (This is x in z value equation) From z=(xx bar )/s(22502000)/365=0.6849 (This is the z value) From z value chart a value 0.7549 is found Therefore, service level =75.49%=76% To help you check you calculation, you should obtain x bar =46.23, and the standard deviation =10. Table 1 Calculate x bar, standard deviation, and safety stock. (This is an example. You need to use the data in table 3 to solve this lab's problem) Just using Problem 11.15 as example: \begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|l|} \hline Period Actual Demand & Deviation & Deviation Squared \\ \hline 1 & 2100 & 100.00 & 10000 \\ \hline \end{tabular} \begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|l|} \hline 1 & 2100 & 100.00 & 10000 \\ \hline 2 & 1700 & -300.00 & 90000 \\ \hline 3 & 2600 & 600.00 & 360000 \\ \hline 4 & 1400 & -600.00 & 360000 \\ \hline 5 & 1800 & -200.00 & 40000 \\ \hline 6 & 2300 & 300.00 & 90000 \\ \hline 7 & 2200 & 200.00 & 40000 \\ \hline 8 & 1600 & -400.00 & 160000 \\ \hline 9 & 2100 & 100.00 & 10000 \\ \hline 10 & 2200 & 200.00 & 40000 \\ \hline & & & 1200000 \\ \hline \end{tabular} Sample Size = x bar =2000.00 Standard Deviation 365 Service Level Z value \begin{tabular}{|l|l|} \hline Ordering Point & 2467 \\ \hline Safety Stock & 467 \end{tabular} For the z value, you have to check the z-value table to find out, then put into the z value column. In above table, I have put few z values in. Some z values are available in Figure 11.5, page 245. In Figure 11.5, (The equations are embeded in the above calculation) the z value is called Safety Factor. All red colored columns and items must be calculated by equations
