Your firm uses a periodic review system for all SKUS classified, using ABC analysis, as B or C items. Further, it uses a continuous review system for all SKUS classified as A items. The demand for a specific SKU, currently classified as an A item, has been dropping. You have been asked to evaluate the impact of moving the item from continuous review to periodic review. Assume your firm operates 52 weeks per year; the item's current characteristics are: Demand (D) = 15,080 units/year Ordering cost (S) = $125.00/order Holding cost (H) = $3.00/unit/year Lead time (L) = 5 weeks Cycle service level = 95 percent Demand is normally distributed, with a standard deviation of weekly demand of 64 units. -Calculate the item's EOQ. - Use the EOQ to define the parameters of an appropriate continuous review and periodie review system for this item. -Which system requires more safety stock and by how much? -How do you think each system can affect your procurement procedures/methods?
A company is planning to purchase 10,000 units of a particular item in the year ahead. The item is purchased in boxes each containing 10 units of the item, at a price of €400 per box. The cost of holding an item in inventory for a year (including insurance, interest and space costs) is 10% of the purchase price. The cost of placing and receiving orders is to be estimated from cost data collected relating to similar orders, where costs of €7,000 were incurred on 25 orders. It should be assumed that ordering costs change in proportion to the number of orders placed. 5% should be added to the above ordering costs to allow for inflation. Assume that usage of the item will be even over the year. Required: (a) Calculate the economic order quantity (EOQ) in boxes which minimises total costs (b) Outline when and why it is appropriate to use economic batch quantity (EBQ)
