True or False
5. Which two things drive the need for safety stock? (choose two)?

Demand variabilityDemand variability
Warehouse spaceWarehouse space
DelaysDelays
Manufacturing speedManufacturing speed
Customer choice
6. The “right” amount of safety stock is often a function of Service Level. Service Level is:
The probability of making the right product
The probability of delay
The probability of meeting demand during a delay
The probability of delay causing more demand
7. The standard deviation of demand during lead time is the same whether or not lead time is variable.
True or False
8. Finding average demand during lead time involves doing which of the following?
Squaring average demand per day and summing
Summing the square root of average demand per day and summing
Summing the daily average demand per day
Integrating average daily demand from zero to four
9. Since standard deviations don’t sum, we have to sum which thing instead?
Average
Median
Kurtosis
Variance
10. When lead time and demand are both variable, the formula we use consists of which two parts? (select two)
Check All That Apply
Demand variabilityDemand variability
Lead time variabilityLead time variability
Order period variabilityOrder period variability
Accounting irregularities
11. The P-system of inventory submits inventory orders at random times.
True or False
12. What is another name for the “P-system” of inventory?
Partial Request Inventory Order System
Poorly Routed Inventory Ordering System
Particularly Responsive Complicated Ordering System
Periodic Review Inventory System
13. What are the two main challenges of the P-system? (select two)
Check All That Apply
Unhappy customersUnhappy customers
Length of review periodLength of review period
Figuring out when to orderFiguring out when to order
ComputersComputers
Amount of inventory to have
14. What is the great benefit of the P-system?
A name that is easy to remember
Customer satisfaction is guaranteed
Simplicity in managing the system
Complicated mathematical requirements
15. An offered discount makes no change to determining optimal order quantity.
True or False
16. Which of the following statements is true when comparing the total cost curve for a product without discounting and the total cost curve with discounting?
The discounted curve is always below the undiscounted curve
The undiscounted curve is always below the discounted curve
The discounted curve is always below the undiscounted curve but does not really exist for values less than the minimum order amount to receive the discount.
The undiscounted curve is always below the discounted curve but does not really exist for values less than the minimum order amount to receive the discount.
17. If I calculate the EOQ with the new, discounted material cost and the resulting quantity is enough to get the discount, what should I do?
Order the discounted EOQ amount
Order the regular EOQ amount
Average the discounted and undiscounted EOQ amounts and order that
Compare total costs of the two EOQ amounts
18. In the end, the point of using the EOQ formula is to:
Properly enter the values we have calculated
Identify the number that is best under any condition
Point us toward the possible lowest cost option
