A regional distributor deals with a product ABC that has an annual demand of 3000 unit. It costs $23 per unit and holding the unit in the warehouse cost $ .02 each day. Each time when the distributor places an order from the manufacturer, it need to pay $500 fixed ordering fee. Assuming each year has 365 days. Please answer following questions based the information provided.
Annual Demand D = 3000 units
Holding Cost H = 0.02*365 = 7.3 per unit per year
Ordering Cost S = 500
Purchase cost P = 23
EOQ = (2DS/H)^(1/2)
EOQ = (2*3000*500/7.3)^(1/2) = 641.06
EOQ = 641 units
Time between order = (EOQ/D)*365
Time between order = (641/3000)*365
Time between order = 77.99 days = 78 days
Total Cost = (D/EOQ)*S + (EOQ/2)*H + D*P
Total Cost = (3000/641)*500 + (641/2)*7.3 + 3000*23
Total Cost = 73679.74 (including purchase cost (D*P))
Total Cost = 4679.74 (Excluding purchase cost)
__________________________________________________________________________
New Holding Cost = 0.03*365 = 10.95
EOQ = (2*3000*500/10.95)^(1/2) = 523.42
EOQ = 523 units
Total Cost = (D/EOQ)*S + (EOQ/2)*H + D*P
Total Cost = (3000/523)*500 + (523/2)*10.95 + 3000*23
Total Cost = 74731.49 (including purchase cost (D*P))
Total Cost = 5731.49 (Excluding purchase cost)
Increase in Cost (Excluding purchase cost) = 5731.49 - 4679.74 = 1051.75
Increase is quite significant.
