1. Insomnia, a coffee bean broker, has 4 warehouses from which it can ship to 3 main buyers. The demand for coffee beans at buyer 1 is 800 pounds, at buyer 2 it is 1000, and at buyer 3 it is 500. Each warehouse holds an inventory of 2000 pounds of coffee beans. The warehouses can only ship coffee beans in full pounds. Given the transportation costs below, they need to determine how product should be shipped between the warehouses and the retailers in order to minimize total cost.

1. In inventory management, economic order quantity (EOQ) is the order quantity that minimizes the total holding costs and ordering costs. It is one of the oldest classical production scheduling models.

Requirements:

Discuss the EOQ Model using an quantitative example computation with interpretation of the solution.

2. The B. N. Thayer and D. N. Thaht Computer Company sells a desktop computer that is popular among gaming enthusiasts. In the past few months, demand has been relatively consistent, although it does fluctuate from day to day. The company orders the computer cases from a supplier. It places an order for 5,000 cases at the appropriate time to avoid stockouts. The demand during the lead time is normally distributed, with a mean of 1,000 units and a standard deviation of 200 units. The holding cost per unit per year is estimated to be $4.

Requirements:

a. How much safety stock should the company carry to maintain a 95% service level?

b. What is the reorder point?

c. What would the total annual holding cost be if this policy is followed

The answer should Include: Computations, Evaluation, and Recommendation

Determine the best distribution (minimum transportation costs) from suppliers A, B, C, and D to the five outlets Dallas, Phoenix, Portland, Montreal, and Orlando.

Two-stage distribution problem: RIFIN Company has recently developed a new
method of manufacturing a type of chemical. The method involves refining a certain
raw material that can be obtained from four overseas suppliers, A, B, C, and D, who
have access to the four ports at Vancouver, Boston, Miami, and San Francisco,
respectively. RIFIN wants to determine the location for plants that will refine the
material. Once refined, the chemical will be transported via trucks to five outlets
located in Dallas, Phoenix, Portland, Montreal, and Orlando.

After an initial study, the choice of location for RIFIN's refineries has been narrowed
down to Denver, Atlanta, and Pittsburgh. Assume that one unit of the raw material is
required to make one unit of the chemical. The amount of raw material that can be
obtained from suppliers A, B, C, and D and the amount of chemical required at the
five outlets are given in the following table (a). The cost of transporting the raw
material from each port to each potential refinery and the cost of trucking the
chemical to outlets are provided in tables (b) and (c), respectively. Determine the
locations of RIFIN's refining plants, the capacities at these plants, and the distribution
pattern for the raw material and processed chemical.

(a) Supply and demand for four sources and five outlets

(b) Inland raw material transportation cost

(c) Chemical trucking cost
