Explanation / Answer

Weekly demand, d = 2900 tons

Std dev of weekly demand, s = 1000 tons

Ordering cost, k = $ 1000

Holding cost, h = $ 11  

Lead time L = 9 weeks

Service level (alpha) = 98%

a) Tons they have to order (Economic order quantity) = SQRT(2Dk/h) = SQRT(2*2900*1000/11) = 726

b) For 98% service level, z = NORMSINV(.98) = 2.054

Safety stock = z*s*SQRT(L) = 2.054*1000*SQRT(9) = 6162 tons

Average tons they have on hand = Q/2 + Safety stock = 726/2 + 6162 = 6525 tons

c) For average inventory = 4500 tons, weekly holding cost = 4500*11 = $ 49,500

d) For average inventory = 11000 , weekly holding cost = 11000*11 = $ 121,000

e) On hand inventory = 5100 tons, z = (5100-2900)/1000 = 2.2

F(z) = NORMSDIST(2.2) = 0.9861

In-stock probability = 0.986
