Consult the body of the table in the Normal Distribution appendix for 0.9000, which corresponds to a 90 percent cycle-service level. The closest number is 0.8997, which corresponds to 1.2 in the row heading and 0.08 in the column heading. Adding these values gives a z value of 1.28. With this information, we calculate the safety stock and reorder point as follows: Safety stock = z σ dLT = 1.28(7.07) = 9.05 or 9 units Reorder point = dL + Safety stock = 2(18) + 9 = 45 units

Calculating P and T E X AMP L E 11 Again, let us return to the bird feeder example. Recall that d em a nd f or the b i rd fee d er i s no r m a ll y d i stri b uted wi th a me a n of 18 units per week and a standard deviation in weekly demand of 5 units. The lead time is 2 weeks, and the business operates 52 weeks per year. The Q system developed in Example 5 called for an EOQ of 75 units and a safety stock of 9 units for a cycle-service level of 90 percent. What is the equivalent P system? Answers are to be rounded to the nearest integer.

Calculating P and T SOLUTION We first define D and then P . Here, P is the time between reviews, expressed in weeks because the data are expressed a s d em a nd p er w eek: D = (18 units/week)(52 weeks/year) = 936 units P = EOQ (52) = 75 (52) = 4.2 or 4 weeks D 936 With d = 18 units per week, an alternative approach is to calculate P by dividing the EOQ by d to get 75/18 = 4.2 or 4 weeks. Either way, we would review the bird feeder inventory every 4 weeks.

Calculating P and T We now find the standard deviation of demand over the protection interval ( P + L ) = 6: Before calculating T , we also need a z value. For a 90 percent cycle-service level z = 1.28. The safety stock becomes Safety stock = zσ P + L = 1.28(12.25) = 15.68 or 16 units We now solve for T : T = Average demand during the protection interval + Safety stock = d ( P + L ) + safety stock = (18 units/week)(6 weeks) + 16 units = 124 units P  L  5 6  1 2 . 2 5 u n i t s  P  L   d
