You are in charge of managing the inventory of a well-established SKU that has very steady demand of 330 items per month, with no visible trend or seasonality.

The cost of the product is 135 $/item and your firm uses an annual holding charge of 0.2 $/$/year (recall this is the same thing as saying 20 percent per year). You have found that there are two components to the ordering costs: labor and transportation. Labor costs are 57 $/order and transportation costs are 124 $/order - regardless of the number of items in the order. You sell each item for 270 $/item.

You must order in multiples of 10 since they come in cases of 10 each – so round to the nearest multiple of 10. Assume 12 months per year.

1) The Suppy Chain Manager tells you that Procurement has decided that the supplier of your SKU will supply one more SKU to the company. By combining these SKUs on the same order and shipment, the order costs can be shared between the SKUs. However, this means the items need to be ordered at the same times.

If the items are ordered every 28 days, what is the new order quantity for the first SKU (the one you calculated the order quantity for in Part 1 = 230)? Assume 365 days per year.
