Chapter 2: Problem 10
Why is the statement "The reorder point \(r\) affects customer service, while the replenishment quantity \(Q\) affects replenishment frequency" true in rough terms but not precisely true?

Get started for freeWhy does increasing the variability of the demand process tend to require a higher level of safety stock (i.e., a higher reorder point)?
Consider the following situations. Label them as either A for appropriate or \(L\) for less appropriate for application of the \(\mathrm{EOQ}\) model. a. Automobile manufacturer ordering screws from a vendor b. Automobile manufacturer deciding on how many cars to paint per batch of a particular color A job shop ordering bar stock d. Office ordering copier paper A steel company deciding how many slabs to move at once between the casting furnace and the rolling mill
What is the key difference in the modeling assumptions between the \(\mathrm{EOQ}\) and the Wagner-Whitin models?
Suppose you are stocking parts purchased from vendors in a warehouse. How could you use a ( \(Q, r\) ) model to determine whether a vendor of a part with a higher price but a shorter lead time is offering a good deal? What other factors should you consider in deciding to change vendors?
In a multiproduct reorder point problem subject to an aggregate service constraint, what will be the effect of increasing the cost of one of the parts on the fill rate of that part? On the fill rates of the other parts?
