If demand for the next several weeks is as shown, with average demand equal to 266, how many orders will be placed using the lot for lot technique
Week | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
Demand | 240 | 280 | 250 | 290 | 270 |
A. 1
B. 2
C. 4
D. 5
Using Lot for lot (L4L) technique; order is given for the exact quantity required in each period to fulfill the demand. This technique minimizes average inventory. As the demand is for 5 periods, so ordered will be placed and received 5 times.
Week | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
Demand | 240 | 280 | 250 | 290 | 270 |
Order Placed/received | 240 | 280 | 250 | 290 | 270 |
Number of Orders | 5 |
Therefore correct answer is option D. 5
