a. how many pounds should groundz order at a time?
b. what is the total annual cost of managing this item?
c. the lead time for orders to arrive is 1.5 (work) weeks. if the standard deviation of weekly demand is 1.2 pounds, and groundz wishes to achieve at least a 98% customer satisfaction level, what is the reorder point?
d. groundz has been contacted by a new supplier who is offering to sell the same tea for $12 per pound. in return, groundz can place orders only once a month. inventory and ordering costs would remain the same. is it more cost-effective for groundz to switch suppliers? should groundz switch?
