An appliance store sells a mixer with popular demand. The
initial shock was 25 mixers. Inventory policy: order a size of 25
mixers when the inventory level drops to 10 mixers (reorder level).
Lead time = 2 weeks (for order to arrive) Costs:
- Holding : $1/unit/week, Ordering : $45/order, Back order:
$5/unit/week the observed probability of both #of customers I
demand per week): # of customers 0 I 2 3 4 Probability. 0.1 0.3
0.25 0.2 0.15 demand/customer 1. 2 3 4 Probability 0.1 0.15 0.4
0.35
NB: we can't place a new order before receiving an earlier one.
Simulate the process based on weekly steps, considering costs of:
Ordering, holding & back order and total. (Using goal seeking
tool on Excel)
