Inventory Tutorial Question 1

A carpet manufacturer has to supply 10000 meters/year of Ja-Namaz Design carpet to a carpet show room. The company has the capability to produce 150 meters of carpet per day. The cost of setup of the loom is $150 per run while the holding cost is $0.75/meter/yr. a) What is the optimum quantity the manufacturer should produce in a single run? b) How many days will each production run last. c) Number of production runs to meet Ja-Namaz Design requirement d) What is the maximum inventory Level

Demand D: 10000 m/yr Daily demand, d: 10000/365 m/day =27.4 m/day Production capacity, p = 150 m/d Set-up Cost, S: $150/run Holding Cost, H: $0.75.m/yr
A)What is the optimum quantity the manufacturer should produce in a single run?

a) Optimum Quantity Qopt =

= ((2* 10000*150)/ (0.75*(1-(27.4/150))) Optimum Quantity Qopt =2213 meters (answer a)


B) How many days will each production run last. Optimum quantity for each production run = 2710 m Production rate = 150 m/day Duration of each run = 2213/150 days = 14.75 days = 15 days (answer b) C) Number of production runs to meet Ja-Namaz Design requirement

Total Quantity: 10000 m Quantity in each run: 2710 No of runs= D/Q = 10000/2213 =4.52 runs
D) What is the maximum inventory Level

= 5 runs (answer c)

Max Inventory= Q (1 d/p) = 2213* (1-(27.4/150)) = 1808 m (answer d)

Question 2:
On average, I sell 150,000 units a year, which I obtain from a wholesaler. I estimate that the cost to me of placing an order is $50 with the average inventory storage cost being 20% per year of the cost of a unit ($5). a) What would be the optimal order quantity? b) I currently order 5 times a year. How much would I save by switching to the optimal order quantity as compared with my current policy of ordering 5 times a year?

Solution: Demand D =150000 units/yr Ordering Cost, S = $50/order i = 20% Purchase Price C= $5 Holding Cost iC = 0.2 * $5 = $1 A)What would be the optimal order quantity? Qopt= (2DS/H) = (2*150000*50)/1 Qopt= 3873 units (answer a) = 3873 units

B) I currently order 5 times a year. How much would I save by switching to the optimal order quantity as compared with my current policy of ordering 5 times a year? Current order quantity = 150000/5 = 30000 units Optimum Order Quantity = 3873 units Total Cost = DC + (Q/2)*H + (D/Q)*S Current Total Cost = (150000*5) + (30000/2)*1 + (150000/30000)*50 = 750000 + 15000+ 250 = $765250 New Total Cost with optimal order quantity TCnew = DC + (Qopt/2)*H + (D/Qopt)*S = (150000*5) + (3873/2)*1 + (150000/3873)*50 = 750000 + 1936.5+ 1936.5 = $ 753873 Net Saving under new order placement = $765250 - $ 753873 = $11377 (answer b)

Question 3:
A newsagent buys a weekly magazine for $4 each. He sells these magazines for $10 each during the week of publication. Any magazine not sold during the week is sold at a reduced price of $2 each during the following week. The probability of demand is as follows Demand
Probability Cum Prob

Calculate the number of magazines the newsagent should order each week.

Cost of underestimating the number of magazines Cu = $10 - $4 = $6 Cost of overestimating the number of magazines, Co = $4 - $2 = $2 P Cu / (Cu + Co) P 6/ (6+2) P 0.75 As seen from cumulative probability calculated above this cumulative probability is at magazine demand = 8 Newsagent should order 8 magazines (Answer)

Question 4:
A carpet store has a daily demand of 30 yards of carpet with a standard deviation of 5 yards per day. The lead-time for the order is 9 days. The carpet store wants a reorder point with a 95% service level and a 5% stock-out probability. Calculate the Reorder point and the Safety stock.

Daily demand d: 30 yds/day Standard deviation = 5 yds/day Lead Time L = 9 days Service Level = 95 % 0r 0.95 Z from Standard normal probability table : 1.645 Reorder Point = d*L + Z * * L Reorder Point = 30*9 +1.645* 5* 9 = 270+ 24.675 = 295 yards (Answer) Safety Stock = Z * * L Safety Stock = 1.645* 5* 9 = 25 yards (Answer)
