6.1) Lisa Simpson sells beauty supplies. Her annual demand for a
particular skin lotion is 1,000 units. The cost of placing an order
is $20, while the holding cost per unit per year is 10 percent of
the cost. This item currently costs $10 if the order quantity is
less than 300. For orders of 300 units or more, the cost falls to
$9.80. To minimize total cost, how many units should Lisa order
each time she places an order? What is the minimum total cost?
6.2) Furniture Fanatics Inc., uses 20,000 loads of lumber per
year. A load of lumber costs $500 and the carrying cost is 10
percent of the unit cost. The cost to order is $200 per order and
the lead-time is three working days. Assuming 200 working days,
determine:
(a) the economic order quantity.
(b) the reorder point.
(c) number of orders per year.
(d) working days between orders.
6.3) Annie Lennox recently took over a cleaning supply store.
Her predecessor always ordered carpet shampoo in quantities of 100
units. Annie is reevaluating this policy. Based on her analysis,
the cost to place each order is $35 and the holding cost is $8 per
shampoo bottle per year. The annual demand for this product is 2500
bottles. Should Anne change the current order policy and, if so,
how much can she save?
6.4) Candy Incorporated stocks bubble gum game cards, an item
that has a normally distributed demand during the reorder period
with a mean of 12 dozen boxes and a standard deviation of two dozen
boxes. If it is desirable to experience a stock-out only 10 percent
of the time, what is the appropriate safety stock?
