Sam's Cat Hotel operates 52 weeks per year, 7 days per week, and uses a continuous review inventory system. It purchases kitty litter for $12.00 per bag. The following information is available about these bags. Refer to the standard normal table for z-values. follows
≻Demand = 80 bags/week follows
≻Order cost = $ 55/order follows
≻Annual holding cost = 29 percent of cost follows
≻Desired cycle-service level equals = 96 percent follows
≻Lead time = 4 week(s) (28 working days) follows
≻Standard deviation of weekly demand =20 bags follows
≻Current on-hand inventory is 300 bags, with no open orders or backorders.
a. What is the EOQ? Sam's optimal order quantity is ____ bags.
Weekly demand = 80 bags
Number of weeks per year = 52
Annual demand (D) = weekly demand × number of weeks per year = 80 × 52 = 4160 bags
Ordering cost(S) = $55 per order
Holding cost (H) = 29% of cost = 29% of $12 = $3.48
a) Economic order quantity = √(2DS/H)
= √[(2 × 4160 × 55)/3.48]
= √(457600/3.48)
= √131494.2528
= 362.62 or rounded off to 363 bags
