Activity 1- Aside from the handout provided the previous week, enhance your understanding

inventory management techniques /models through research in the internet.

Activity 2: Study the following illustrative problems and answer the assessment.

A. Emil traders, Inc. sells cellphone cases which it buys from a local manufacturer.
Emil Traders sells 24,000 cases evenly throughout the year. The cost of carrying
one unit in inventory for one year is P11.52 and the order cost per order is
P38.40.
Required: a. What is the economic order quantity?
b. How much is the total costs ; carrying cost and ordering cost
if Emil Traders would buy in economic order quantities.

Solution: EOQ = 2(24,000) (38.40) =400 units

11.52
Total cost = total ordering cost + total carrying cost
P2,304 + P2,304
= P4,608

Ordering cost = annual demand (cost per order)= P2,304

Q
Carrying cost = Q carrying cost per unit = P2,304
2
Note that at EOQ ordering cost and carrying cost are equal
Formula: a. ) EOQ = square root of 2 times annual demand times ordering cost
Carrying cost

b. ) number of orders per year= annual demand

EOQ or (just Q)

c. ) carrying cost = Q carrying cost per unit

2
d. ) ordering cost = annual demand ordering cost per order
Q
B. The following information is available for Edgar Corporation’s Material X :
Annual usage 12,600 units
Working days per year 360 days
Normal lead time 20 days
The units of Material X are required evenly throughout the year.
a. What is the reorder point?
b. Assuming that occasionally, the company experiences delay in the
delivery of Material X, such that the lead time reaches a maximum of 30
days, how many units of safety stock should the company maintain and
what is the reorder point?
Solution:
a. Average daily usage = annual demand = 12,600 = 35 units
Working days per year 360
Reorder point (normal)= daily usage x lead time= 35 x 20= 700 units

b. Maximum lead time 30 days

Less normal lead time 20 days
 Maximum days of delay 10 days
X average daily usage 35 units
Safety stock 350 units

Average daily usage 35 units

X maximum lead time 30 days
Reorder point 1,050 units
Or
Reorder point= normal lead time usage + safety stock
= 700 + 350 = 1,050 units
C. ABC Classification
Classify the following items using the following criteria
Class A Class B Class C
5-15% of units 30% of units 50-60% of units
70-80% of value 15% of value 5-10% of value

ASSIGNMENT: Answer the requirement of the problem:
1. The material DX is used uniformly throughout the year. The data
about annual requirement, ordering cost and holding cost of this
material is given below:
 Annual requirement: 2,400 units
 Ordering cost: P10 per order
 Holding cost: P 0.30 per unit
