Sharon parked her automobile in a parking lot owned by the Parking Corporation. At the request of the parking lot attendant, she left her keys at the attendant's office and received a numbered ticket as her receipt for the payment of the parking fee. The ticket had the following words written on the back: “Rental of space only. Not responsible for loss or damage to car or contents however caused.” A 50 cm. Square sign on the side of the attendant’s office contained a similar message. Before leaving her keys with the attendant, she made certain that the doors of the vehicle were securely locked, as she had left a box containing her camcorder and computer in the trunk of the car. Sharon was not aware that the attendant closed his ticket booth at midnight, at which time he delivered the keys to the cars on the lot to the attendant of the parking lot across the street. The adjacent lot was also owned by the Corporation, but it remained open until 2 a.m. Sharon returned to the parking lot to retrieve her automobile shortly after midnight, at which time she discovered no attendant in charge, and her vehicle missing. By chance, she noticed an attendant on duty at the parking lot across the street, and reported the missing vehicle to him, only to find the attendant in possession of her keys. The police discovered Sharon’s automobile a few days later in another part of the city. The vehicle had been damaged and stripped of its contents, including her camcorder and computer. Sharon brought an action against the Parking Corporation for her loss.

Question : Identify the issues in this case and prepare the arguments that Sharon and the Parking Corporation might use in their respective claim and defence.

Suppose that you work in the inventory planning department of a large electronics store, and a (Q, R) inventory system is used to control the replenishment of a popular LCD computer monitor. The store pays $85 for each monitor when it purchases the monitors from its supplier in Asia; in addition, a fixed setup fee of $275 is charged for each order. Assume the annual holding rate is 15%. The penalty cost per shortage is $10. Monthly demand is normally distributed with mean 400 and standard deviation 35, and the order lead time is 1.5 months.

A. Calculate the order quantity (using EOQ approximation) and the optimal re-order point.

B. Calculate the service level, the safety stock level, and the expected number of shortages per cycle.
