Question

1.) You are tasked with selecting the suppler for a new part from four possible venders A, B,
C, and D. You have data related to quality, price and delivery terms. Assuming each of these
three aspects equally weighted by your purchasing organization, which supplier would you
choose given the following information? The critical part dimension for the quality data has a
specification of 2.5±0.05 cm; and daily demand of 25, with a daily standard deviation of 30
units; 365 days a year. For this part your organization prefers a service level of at least 95%

Vender Price/unit $10.00 2.504 013 20 $10.50 2.497 0011 15 2.496 010 10 2.506 011 20 10 ,in cm Leadtime (day Leadtime Std. 5 Dev. (day

2.) Assume your organization focuses primarily on price, assume you are forced to use vendor D
(even if D did not win your bid in #4). Using the data in the previous problem, how much should
be ordered, and when should be orders be placed if the fixed ordering cost is $300/order and the
inventory carrying cost is 35% and what is the total cost of this policy? Suppose vender D offers
a 4% discount on the price, provided the order volume is at least 5000 units, does this change
your answer regarding how much to order, and, if so, what is the new total cost?
