This problem is the first running example in the book. Since the book's solution is a little complicated, I will redefine the problem and provide alternative (and simpler) solutions. It is imperative that you understand the solution method presented here. I will keep all the parameters provided in the example. I will ignore the safety stock issue. In effect, we will not consider any safety stock in any period. However, I require that at the end of June there should be 200 items in inventory. In effect, the following information is given: This problem is the first running example in the book.
