Discussion Questions 1. Describe four types of inventory. Raw material ▶Purchased but not processed Work-in-process (WIP) ▶Undergone some change but not completed ▶A function of cycle time for a product Maintenance/repair/operating (MRO) ▶Necessary to keep machinery and processes productive Finished goods ▶Completed product awaiting shipment 3. What is the purpose of the ABC classification system ? ABC classification system is used to establish policies that focus on the few critical parts and not the many trivial ones 4. Identify and explain the types of costs that are involved in an inventory system . ▶Holding costs - the costs of holding or “carrying” inventory over time ▶Ordering costs - the costs of placing an order and receiving goods ▶Setup costs - cost to prepare a machine or process for manufacturing an order -May be highly correlated with setup time 5. Explain the major assumption of the basis EOQ model . 1.Demand is known, constant, and independent 2.Lead time is known and constant 3.Receipt of inventory is instantaneous and complete 4.Quantity discounts are not possible 5.Only variable costs are setup (or ordering) and holding 6.Stockouts can be completely avoided
7. Explain why it is not necessary to include product cost (price or price times quantity) in the EOQ model , but the quantity discount model requires this information.
Price times quality is not variable in the EOQ model , but is in the discount model . When quality discounts are variable ,the unit purchase price of the item depends on the order quantity . 13. Describe the difference between a fixed quantity (Q) and a fixed-period (P) inventory system . In a fixed-quantity inventory system , when the quantity on hand reaches the reorder point , an order is placed for the specified quantity . In a fixed-quantity inventory system , an order is placed at the end of period . The quantity ordered is that needed to bring on-hand inventory up to a specified level . 15. What is “safety stock”? What does safety stock provide safety against ? Safety stock is inventory beyond average demand during lead time , held to control the level of the shortages when demand and/or lead time are not constant ; inventory carried to assure that the desired service level is reached .

12.2 Lindsay Electronics , a small manufacturer of electronic research equipment , has approximately 7,000 items in its inventory and has hired Joan Blasco-Paul to manage its inventory . Joan has determined that 10% of the items in inventory are A items , 35% are B items , and 55% are C items . She would like to set up a system in which all A items are counted monthly (every 20 working days) , all B items are counted quarterly (every 60 working days) and all items C are counted semiannually (every 120 working days) . How many items need to be counted each day ?

12.32 Emarphy Appliance is a company that produces all kinds of major appliances . Bud Banis , the president of Emarpy , is concerned about the production policy of the company’s best-selling refrigerator . The annual demand has been about 8000 units each year , and this demand has been constant throughout the year . The production capacity is 200 units per day . Each time production starts, it costs the company $120 to move materials into place , reset the assembley line , and clean the equipment . The holding cost of a refrigerator is $50 per year . The current production plan calls for 400 refrigerators to be produced in each production run . Assume there are 250 working days per year . D= 8000 units per year Production capacity = 200 units per day Ordering cost / setup cost S= $ 120 Holding cost H= $ 50 per year a) What is the daily demand of this product ? Daily Demand , d =

Q 400 P = 200 = 2 days c) Under the current policy , how many production runs per year would be required ?What would annual setup cost be?
