6. Ross White’s machine shop uses 2,500 brackets during the course of a year, and this usage is relatively constant throughout the year. These brackets are purchased from a supplier 100 miles away for $15 each, and the lead time is 2 days. The holding cost per bracket per year is $1.50 (or 10% of the unit cost), and the ordering cost per order is $18.75. There are 250 working days per year.
· What is the EOQ?
· Given the EOQ, what is the average inventory? What is the annual inventory holding cost?
· In minimizing cost, how many orders would be placed each year? What would be the annual ordering cost?
· Given the EOQ, what is the total annual inventory cost (including purchase cost)?
· What is the time between orders?
· What is the ROP?
7. The EOQ model has several assumptions. List them and explain whether they are readily attainable.
