Rolf Steps is the production manager for a local manufacturing firm. This company produces staplers and other items. The annual demand for a particular stapler is 1,600 units. The holding cost is $2 per unit per year. The cost of setting up the production line is $25. There are 200 working days per year. The production rate for this product is 80 per day. If Rolf decided to produce 200 units each time he started production of the stapler, what would his maximum inventory level be

His maximum inventory level would be 180 units

Explanation:

According to the given data we have the following:

daily demand rate , d=1,600/200=8 units;

daily production rate p=80 units;

C0=25 dollar

Cc=2 dollar

Therefore, Qopt=√2*25*1,600/(2(1-8/80))

Qopt=210.82

But here Rolf decide to produce 200 units each time he started production, hence fix Q=200

Therefore, Maximum inventory level=200*(1-8/80)=200*0.9

Maximum inventory level=180 units

His maximum inventory level would be 180 units

two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley, i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however; many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.
