The primary objective in determining the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) for an item is to: O minimize the quantity of the item ordered from the supplier each time. minimize the annual total inventory cost for that item. order the item from a supplier located in close proximity. O maximize the time between orders. O find a quick and easy way to answer the lot sizing question, regardless of whether the demand for the item is dependent or independent.

A manufacturer of exercise equipment purchases the pulley section of the equipment from a supplier who lists these prices: Less than 1000 $5.00 each 1000 to 3999 $4.95 each 4000 to 5999 $4.90 each 6000 or more $4.85 each Ordering costs are $50, annual carrying costs per unit are 40 percent of purchase cost, and annual usage is 4900 pulleys. Determine the order quantity that will minimize total cost.
Reorder PointConsider an economic order quantity case where annual demand D = 1,000 units, economic order quantity Q = 200 units, the desired probability of not stocking out P = .95, the standard deviation of demand during lead time σL = 25 units, and lead time L = 15 days. Determine the reorder point. Assume that demand is over a 250-workday year.
For a specific farm implement ‘FI’ is to be ordered by a food processing company, following data is available: Monthly Demand= 800 units Purchase cost/unit = $40/unit Ordering costs= $60/ order Holding costs (Ch) = $12/unit/year, fire insurance = 6% of the unit cost, 2% other overheads. Determine optimal order quantity of ‘FI’ items and how frequently the order should be placed?
The materials manager for a billiard ball maker must periodically place orders for resin, one of the raw materials used in producing billiard balls. She knows that manufacturing uses resin at a rate of 50 kilograms each day, and that it costs $.04 per day to carry a kilogram of resin in inventory. She also knows that the order costs for resin are $100 per order, and that the lead time for delivery is four days. If the order size was 1,000 kilograms of resin, what would be the average inventory level?
