1. Wong Enterprises used a Continuous Review System (i.e., Q System) for controlling inventory for a specific end-item. The firm operates 5 days per week and 52 weeks a year and the end-item has the following characteristics:
Demand (D) = 20,020 units/year
Ordering Costs (S) = $40/order
Holding Costs = $1/unit/six months
Leadtime (L) = 10 days
Cycle Service Level = 94.95%
Assume that Demand is normally distributed; with Standard Deviation of weekly demand = 100 units.
Current on-hand inventory is 1040 units, with no scheduled receipts and no backorders.
1. The EOQ for this item is:
More than 850 but less than or equal to 860
More than 860 but less than or equal to 870
More than 870 but less than or equal to 880
More than 880 but less than or equal to 890
More than 890
2. The average time, P (in weeks), between orders is: (round to the nearest week)
Less than or equal to 1 week
More than 1 week but less than or equal to 2 weeks
More than 2 weeks but less than or equal to 3 weeks
More than 3 weeks
None of the above
3. The safety stock for the Q system is:
More than 225 but less than or equal to 230
More than 231 but less than or equal to 236
More than 237 but less than or equal to 242
More than 243 but less than or equal to 248
None of the above
4. The safety stock for the P system is:
More than 340 but less than or equal to 345
More than 346 but less than or equal to 351
More than 352 but less than or equal to 357
More than 358 but less than or equal to 363
None of the above.
5. The reorder point, R, in the Q system is (in units):
More than 800 but less than or equal to 850
More than 850 but less than or equal to 900
More than 900 but less than or equal to 950
More than 950 but less than or equal to 1,000
