The daily demand for a compact car at a car dealer in Chicago is normally distributed with a mean of 1.6 car and a standard deviation of 0.4 car. The lead time to receive an order from the car manufacturer is 5 days. The sales manager is willing to accept no more than 2 percent risk of stockout during lead time. Find the reorder point. How much of this is safety stock? What is the service level?
Given that daily demand for a compact car at a car dealer in Chicago is normally distributed with a mean of 1.6 car and a standard deviation of 0.4 car.
The lead time to receive an order from the car manufacturer is 5 days.
The sales manager is willing to accept no more than 2 percent risk of stockout during lead time
The service level of willing to accept is 1 - 0.2 = 0.98
First we find the safety stock which is given below
From standard normal table, we find the value of z
Recorder Point
