Use Appendix 14A, Soap and Towels is a retailer of home goods. They receive inventory from their supplier with a 2- week lead time. Assume they order weekly, and they use the order-up-to model for choosing base stock levels. A peppermint soap sells on average one box every 5 weeks. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Use the Poisson distribution and Appendix 14A.) How many boxes of the peppermint soap do they order on average each week? a. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Use the Poisson distribution and Appendix 14A.) Suppose they choose a base stock level of 1 for the peppermint soap. What is their average inventory (in boxes)? b. (Round your answer to 4 decimal places. Use the Poisson distribution and Appendix 14A.) Suppose they choose a base stock level of 1 for the peppermint soap. What is their stockout probability? C. d. Suppose they want to minimize inventory while achieving at least a 0.8887 in-stock probability for the peppermint soap. What base stock level (in boxes) should they use?
Demand each period is normally distributed and an order-up-to model is used to decide order quantities. Which of the following influences the chosen order-up-to level (i.e, a change in which of the following would change the chosen order-up-to level)? 1. The mean of demand in one period. II. The standard deviation of demand over (2 + 1) periods. III. The target in-stock probability Only Only 11. Only Oland Il O I and III. O II and III. O I. Il and I HE Naut
