Eoq Reorder Level 07E4A9
1. **State the problem:**
A manufacturer uses 25000 units per year at a uniform rate. We need to find:
i) Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) with given costs and no shortages.
ii) Reorder level given a lead time of 409 days.
2. **Formulas and explanation:**
- EOQ formula when delivery is instantaneous and no shortages allowed:
$$EOQ = \sqrt{\frac{2DS}{H}}$$
where:
$D$ = demand rate (units/year) = 25000,
$S$ = ordering cost per order = ordering + receiving + hauling + inspection = 23 + 22 = 45,
$H$ = holding cost per unit per year.
- Holding cost $H$ includes:
- Interest cost per unit = 0.056,
- Deterioration and obsolescence cost per unit = 0.004,
- Cost based on max units in inventory = 0.02 per unit.
Total holding cost per unit per year:
$$H = 0.056 + 0.004 + 0.02 = 0.08$$
- Reorder level formula:
$$Reorder\ Level = d \times L$$
where $d$ = daily demand, $L$ = lead time in days.
3. **Calculate EOQ:**
$$EOQ = \sqrt{\frac{2 \times 25000 \times 45}{0.08}} = \sqrt{\frac{2250000}{0.08}} = \sqrt{28125000} \approx 5302.78$$
4. **Calculate daily demand:**
Assuming 365 days per year:
$$d = \frac{25000}{365} \approx 68.49 \text{ units/day}$$
5. **Calculate reorder level:**
$$Reorder\ Level = 68.49 \times 409 \approx 27992.41$$
**Final answers:**
- EOQ $\approx 5303$ units (rounded to nearest whole number).
- Reorder level $\approx 27992$ units (rounded to nearest whole number).
