Question

Daily demand is normally distributed with mean of 1000 and standard deviation of 200. lead time is 4 days. What is the expected demand during lead time? Find the ROP consistent with a 95% service level. What is the safety stock component of the ROP in (b)? Daily demand is normally distributed with mean of 20 and variance of 4. lead time is 2 days, a. What is the expected demand during lead time? Find the ROP consistent with a 95% service level. What is the safety stock component of the ROP in (b)? Expected demand during lead lime is 100. Standard dev iation of demand during lead.time is 20. lead time is 2 days. Find the ROP consistent with a 97.72% service level. What is the safety stock component of the ROP in ?

Explanation / Answer

Mean = 1000

Standard Deviation = 200

Lead Time = 4 days

a)

Expected demand during lead time = Mean Demand * Lead time = 1000*4 = 4000

b)

ROP = Demand during lead time + Safety stock

Z @ 95% = 1.64

Safety Stock = z* Standard Deviation * Sqrt(Lead time) = 1.64*200*Sqrt(4) = 656

ROP = 4000 + 656 = 4656 units

c)

safety Stock = 656 units
