b) What is the largest amount Al’s will ever have to order?
Solutions
Expert Solution
Review Period T = 12 days
Lead Time L = 4 days
Daily Sales d = 30 vases
SD of daily sales = 8
Service Level = 90%
Z = NORM.S.INV(0.90) = 1.2816
I = 7
a)
Order Quantity Q = d*(L+T) + Z*Sd*(L+T)^(1/2) - I
Q = 30*(4+12) + 1.2816*8*(12+4)^(1/2) - 7
Q = 514.0112
Q = 514 vases
b)
Optimal Order Quantity Q = d*(L+T) + Z*Sd*(L+T)^(1/2)
Q = 30*(4+12) + 1.2816*8*(12+4)^(1/2)
Q = 521.0112
Q = 521 vases
