Given the following information, formulate an inventory management system. The item is demanded 50 weeks a year.

Item cost
\(10.00
The standard deviation of weekly demand
25 per week
Order cost
\)250.00
Lead time
1 week
Annual holding cost (%)
\(33% of the item cost
Service probability
95%
Annual demand
25,750

Average demand
515 per week

a. State the order quantity and reorder point.

b. Determine the annual holding and order costs.

c. If a price break of \)50 per order was offered for purchase quantities of over 2,000, would you take advantage of it? How much would you save annually?

Answer

Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) - This is a method used to determine the best quantity of inventory acquired by a firm to meet those requirements while reducing holding and storage expenses.

Step by step solution

01

(a) Calculation of Order quantity and reorder Point

Given,

Annual Demand = 25,750

Order cost = $250.00

The annual Holding cost is 33% of the purchase price which is $10

Where,

D = Annual Demand

S = Cost per Order

H = Holding Cost

EOQ=2DSH=225,7502500.3310=1975units

So, the optimal Order Quantity is 1975 units

As per the given information, the weekly demand is 532 units with a lead time of 2 weeks and a standard deviation of 30 units per week.

Using excel and applying NORMSINV (0.95) we get the value of z of 1.64.

Substitute - 515(1) + (1.64)(25) = 556 Units

Hence, at the level of 556 units, a new order must be placed.

02

Step 2:(b) Calculation of  the annual holding and order cost

Given,

Annual Demand (D) =25,750

Cost per Order (S) =$250.00

Holding Cost( H) = (0.33)(10)

The annual Holding cost is 33% of the purchase price which is $10

Holdingcost=Q2H=197520.3310=$3,258.75

Orderingcost=DQS=25,7501975250=$3,259.49

So, the Holding cost is $3258.75 and the Ordering cost is $3,259.49

03

(c) If a price break of $50 per order was offered for purchase quantities of over 2,000

AnnualDemandD=25,750CostperorderS=$250.00HoldingcostH=0.3310

The annual Holding cost is 33% of the purchase price, which is $10

Holdingcost=Q2H=200020.3310=$3,300

role="math" localid="1650529887541" Orderingcost=DQS=25,7502000250=$3,218.75

So, the Holding cost is $33,00 and the Ordering cost is $3,218.75

Calculation of Total cost with discount

Total annual cost with discount = Annual Holding Cost + Annual Ordering cost - (Ordering cost after price break x No of orders)

Total annual cost with discount = $3,300 + $3,218.75 - [50 x (25,750 / 2000)]

Total annual cost with discount = $6518.75 - $643.75 = $5,875

Calculation of Total cost without discount as per part b -

Total annual cost without discount = Annual Holding Cost + Annual Ordering Cost

= $3258.75+ $3,259.49 = $6518.24

From the above calculations, it seems that the cost incurred with a discount is lower than without a discount. So advantage should be taken with a price break.

Saving in Ordering Cost = $6518.24 - $5,875= $643.24

Therefore, the amount of $643.24 will be saved annually.

Old Pueblo Engineering Contractors create six-month 鈥渞olling鈥 schedules, which are recomputed monthly. For competitive reasons (it would need to divulge proprietary design criteria, methods, and so on), Old Pueblo does not subcontract. Therefore, its only options to meet customer requirements are (1) work on regular time; (2) work overtime, which is limited to 30 percent of the regular time; (3) do customers鈥 work early, which would cost an additional \(5 per hour per month; and (4) perform customers鈥 work late, which would cost an additional \)10 per hour per month penalty, as provided by their contract. Old Pueblo has 25 engineers on its staff at an hourly rate of \(30. The overtime rate is \)45. Customers鈥 hourly requirements for the six months from January to June are
