13 units
In the basic EOQ model, if D=6000 per year, S=$100, and holding costs = $5 per unit per month, what is the EOQ?
141
In a safety stock problem where both demand and lead time are variable, demand averages 150 units per day with a daily standard deviation of 16, and lead time averages 5 days with a standard deviation of 1 day. What is the standard deviation of demand during lead time
154 units
The assumptions of the production order quantity model are met in a situation where annual demand is 3650 units, setup cost is $50, holding cost is $12 unit per year, the daily demand rate is 10 and the daily production rate is 100. What is the production order quantity for this problem?
184
A product that has a demand of 4000 units per year. ordering costs of 20$ and holding cost is 4$ per unit per year. the cost minimizing solution for this product is to order
200 units per order
A production order quantity problem has a daily demand rate = 10 and a daily production rate = 50. The production order quantity for this problem is approximately 612 units. What is the average inventory for this problem
245
For a certain item, the cost-minimizing order quantity obtained with the basic EOQ model was 200 units and the total annual inventory (carrying and setup) cost was $600. The inventory carrying cost per unit per year for this item is a. $1.50 b. $2.00 c. $3.00 d. $150.00 e. not enough data to determine
3.00
A specific product has demand during lead time of 100 units, with a standard deviation of 25 units. What safety stock (approximately) provides a 95% service level?
41
If daily demand is constant at 10 units per day, and lead time averages 12 days with a standard deviation of 3 days, 95 percent service requires a safety stock of approximately
49 units
A bakery wants to determine how many trays of doughnuts it should prepare each day. Demand is normal with a mean of 5 trays and standard deviation of 1 tray. If the owner wants a service level of at least 95%, how many trays should he prepare (rounded to the nearest whole tray)? Assume doughnuts have no salvage value after the day is complete.

Which of the following is not one of the four main types of inventory
Safety Stock Inventory
Which of the following should be higher in P systems than Q systems
Safety stock
The proper quantity of safety stock is typically determined by
Setting the level of safety stock so that a given stockout risk is not exceeded
The fixed-period inventory system requires more safety stock than a fixed-quantity system because:
a stockout can occur during the review period as well as during the lead time.
Demand for dishwasher water pumps is 8 per day. The standard deviation of demand is 3 per day, and the order lead time is four days. The service level is 95%. What should the reorder point be?
more than 40
A disadvantage of the fixed-period inventory system is that:
since there is no count of inventory during the review period, a stockout is possible.
ABC analysis is based upon the principle that
there are usually a few critical items, and many items that are less critical
