TALLER 1: MODELOS DE INVENTARIOS
1) A businessman sells pencils at a constant rate of 25 per day. Who works 360 days per
year, each pencil costs $0.05, if the order costs are $5 and the inventory holding costs
represent 20% of the inventory cost, Determine:
a) Optimum Order Quantity
b) Annual costs of:
o Annual Unit Costs
o Annual Order Cost
o Annual Holding Cost
2) A component is used in the assembly line of several products, with an annual Demand of
5000 units. The component is obtained from an outside supplier added cost of $10 per
unit. the inventory holding costs represent 20%. The supplier has offered the following
schedule prices and quantities. Determine mind the optimal order quantity.
3) Larry Smith wants to start a sandwich business to earn additional income. He divides his
needs into three kinds: bread, cheese and ham, and vegetables. He will be able to use all
the products he buys before they go bad, so perishability is not an issue. The cost and
demand parameters are shown below.
Bread cheese and ham vegetables
Weekly demand 6 packages 12 packages 2 pounds
Cost per unit $0.85 $3.50 $1.25
Fixed order cost 12 8 10
The selection of these fixed costs is based on the fact that these items are purchased in
different places in the town. They include the cost of Larry's time to shop. Assume that
inventory costs are based on 25% annual interest.
a) To calculate the optimal quantities that Larry should buy of each type of product so that
he does not exceed his budget
b) If you could buy everything in one place, with no budget constraints, how would the
solution to the problem change?
4) A company purchases 12000 items per year by employees in a production process, and it
can manufacture items at a rate of 48000 units per year. The unit cost of each item is $5
per unit, the cost of holding one unit is $9,6 per year, and the cost to make a purchase is
$100.
a) Optimal quantity to be manufactured
b) Optimal annual total cost
c) Manufacturing time
d) time between production runs
5) A company sells an item that has an annual demand of 5000 units, the unit cost is $10000,
its storage cost is $ 300 per unit, the ordering cost is $ 150000; if there were to be a
shortage, a cost of $ 15000 would be incurred. Determine
a) Economic order quantity
b) Maximum inventory
c) Total annual cost
6) Colichips company estimates that the demand for one of its items is 1000 units per month,
a deficit is allowed, and it can be manufactured at a rate of 4000 units per month. If the
unit cost is $ 1.50, the cost of making a purchase is $ 600, the cost of holding a unit is $
2 per year, and the deficit cost is $ 10 per unit per year, determine:
a) Optimal quantity to be manufactured
b) optimal number of units sold out
c) number of production runs
d) Time between production runs
e) Maximum inventory
