A company manufactures hair dryers. It buys some of the components, but it makes the heatingelement, which it can produce at the rate of 800 per day. Hair dryers are assembled daily, 250 daysa year, at a rate of 300 per day. Because of the disparity between the production and usage rates,the heating elements are periodically produced in batches of 2,000 units.a. Approximately how many batches of heating elements are produced annually?

29) XYZ Company The XYZ Company uses 175 handles per day. The company operates 300 days per year. It costs $2.00 to carry one handle in inventory for one year. When handle inventory is low, an order is sent to the fabrication department to manufacture more handles. Fabrication can produce handles at a rate of 1500 per day and send the handles over to assembly while production is in progress. The setup for each production run costs $500. In order to calculate the EOQ, the XYZ company utilizes the __________ model. Group of answer choices a) Basic EOQ b) Production Quantity c) Optimal Production
6. Leaky Pipe, a local retailer of plumbing supplies, faces demand for one of its SKUs at a constant rate of 17,000 units per year.

Approximately how many batches of heating elements are produced annually?b. If production on a batch begins when there is no inventory of heating elements on hand, howmuch inventory will be on hand two days later?c. What is the average inventory of elements, assuming each production cycle begins when thereare none on hand?d. The same equipment that is used to make the heating elements could also be used to makea component for another of the firm’s products. That job would require four days, includingsetup. Setup time for making a batch of the heating elements is a half day. Is there enough timeto do this job between production…
The efficiency of an inventory system is often measuredby the turnover ratio. (TR), defined byTR 5Cost of goods sold per yearAverage value of on hand inventorya.
