Q3-2 (2 points) Determine whether the two forecasting models (for FB378 and GS131) are performing normally or not. 24 (4 points). Use the available data to develop inventory policies such as EOQ and reorder point for the FB378 and GS131. Assume that the holding cost is 20% of u (Fill out the table to the inventory policies) (52 weeks per year) FB378 GS131 2 Annual demand: Annual demand: Annual holding cost, per unit: Annual holding cost, per unit: 4 Cost per order: Cost per order S Cost per unit Cost per unit: Economic order quantity: Economic order quantity: 32 18 Average order lead time: Average order lead time: 39 Standard deviation of lead time: Standard deviation of lead time: 00 Average demand during time unit Average demand during time unit 91 Standard deviation of demand during time unit Standard deviation of demand during time unit: 02 Percent desired service levels Percent desired service levels 03 z value (for desired service level) z value (for desired service level) 04 Reorder point Reorder point 95 0025 (4 points). Compare the inventory costs associated with your suggested order quantities (EOC) with those of the current order quantities. What can you conclude 07 Current order quantity Current order quantity OB Current annual holding Com Current annual holding cost 30 Current annual ordering cost: Current annual ordering cost 100 Total holding and ordering cost: Total holding and ordering cost: 101 102 Economic order quantity: Economic order quantity EOQ annual holding cost EOQ annual holding cost: 104 EO annual ordering cost: EOQ annual ordering costi 105 EOQ total holding and ordering cost: EOQ total holding and ordering cost 103
Pos 100 Q6 (3 points). How many orders (per year) should the company make with the current order quantity to meet the customer demands? 110 How many orders (per year) should the company make with EOQ to meet the customer demands? 111 (Assuming 365 days per year) What is the reorder period with the current order quantity? 112 (Assuming 365 days per year) What is the reorder period with EOQ? 113 114 07 (4 points). What are your suggestions to solve the current problem that the company is facing? (You need to answer the question within a minimum of 250 words) 115 Rota
