Q5. An established company has decided to add a new product to its line. It will buy the product from a manufacturing concern, package it, and sell it to a number of distributors that have been selected on a geographical basis. Market research has already indicated the volume expected and the size of sales force required. The steps shown in the following table are to be planned.

Q5: A manager of an inventory system believes that inventory models are important decision making aids. Even though often using an EOQ policy, the manager never considered a backorder model because of the assumption that backorders were “bad” and should be avoided. However, with upper management’s continued pressure for cost reduction, you have been asked to analyze the economics of a backorder policy for some products that can possibly be backordered. For a specific product with D = 1200 units per year, Co = 160, = 4, and = 25, what is the difference in total annual cost between the EOQ model and the planned shortage or backorder model? If the manager adds constraints that no more than 25% of the units can be backordered and that no customer will have to wait more than 18 days for an order, should the backorder inventory policy be adopted? Assume 300 working days per year.

Using signavio or any PBM tools and must Use pool and lane and object. Model the following business process at a supplier. After a supplier notifies a retailer of the approval of a purchase order, the supplier can receive an order confirmation, an order change, or an order cancelation from the retailer. It may happen that no response is received at all. If no response is received after 48 h, or if an order cancelation is received, the supplier will cancel the order. If an order confirmation is received within 48 h, the supplier will process the order normally. If an order change is received within 48 h, the supplier will update the order and ask again the retailer for confirmation. The retailer is allowed to change an order at most three times. Afterwards, the supplier will automatically cancel the order.
Inventory Control A company anticipates there will be a demand for 20,000 copies of a certain book during the next year/. It costs the company $0.50 to store a book for 1 year. Each time it must print additional books, it costs $200 to set up the equipment. NOTE: We assume that the demand is uniform. Let • x= number of books printed during each printing run ● y= = number of printing runs
Quality has been defined as customer satisfaction (or "fitness for use"). Quality can also be defined as "conformance to specifications". In theory, if you create the right specifications and then manufacture a product that meets these specifications, you should achieve customer satisfaction. Consider the following four scenarios for a particular product: A) Conforms to specifications and is competitive in its adequacy. B) Conforms to specifications and is not competitive in its suitability. C) It does not conform to specifications and is competitive in its education. D) Does not conform to specifications and is not competitive in its education. Which of these are not, in theory, feasible, but in practice occur and cause a lot of conceptual confusion? Can you cite some examples?
= Consider a four aisle AS/RS in which an S/R machine is used for each aisle. The length of the storage aisle 85 m and its height = 14 m. Suppose horizontal and vertical speeds of the S/R machine are 61 m/min and 23 m/min, respectively. The S/R machine requires 20 s to accomplish a P&D operation. The aisles in the AS/RS will be organized to follow a class-based dedicated storage strategy. There will be two classes, according to activity level. The more active stock is stored in the half of the rack system that is located closest to the input/output station, and the less active stock is stored in the other half of the rack system farther away from the input/output station. Within each half of the rack system, random storage is used. The more active stock accounts for 80% of the transactions, and the less active stock accounts for the remaining 20%. Assume that system utilization = 90%, and the number of single-command cycles = the number of dual-command cycles. Determine the throughput…
Inventory Control and Planning Lehen Vinters imports a certain brand of beer. The demand, which may be assumed to be uniform, is 1,250,000 cases/year. The cost of ordering a shipment of beer is $500, and the cost of storing each case of beer for a year is $2. Determine how many cases of beer should be in each shipment if the ordering and storage costs are to be kept at a minimum. (Assume that each shipment of beer arrives just as the previous one has been sold.)
