Assuming constant lead-time demand, and a unit cost of $45 what is the economic order quantity? What is the reorder point. If lead-time demand shows variability that follows a normal distribution with a mean μ =420 and a standard deviation σ =20, what will the revised reorder point if two stock-outs (shortages) are allowed? What is the company’s reorder point if the probability of a stock-out on any cycle is restricted to 0.05?
