 Summary of Spreadsheet Results


– A 16.15% negative deviation from the EOQ resulted in
only a 1.55% increase in the Total Annual Cost.
– Annual Holding Cost and Annual Ordering Cost are
no longer equal.
– The Reorder Point is not affected, in this model, by a
change in the Order Quantity.
ROP Sample Problem
There will be two costs that must be computed these are:
COST OF BEING OUT OF STOCK and COST OF SAFETY STOCK
For the COST OF BEING OUT OF STOCK

Start with the first reorder period that is at least the Lead
time demand value as initial ROP
Safety Stock = reorder period used – lead time demand
# short = reorder period used – ROP column value
EAC = (# short)(SS)(stockout cost)(# of orders/year)
Cost of being out of stock = sum of EAC in the same ROP
ROP Sample Problem
COST OF SAFETY STOCK

Entries on ROP column and SS, for Cost of Safety Stock Table is just the same as the previous table
Cost of being out of stock = values on the last column of the previous table
ACC = (SS)(annual carrying cost)
Total cost per year = cost of being out of stock + annual carrying cost
Decision: ROP that will minimize the total cost per year
ROP Sample Problem

 Summary of Spreadsheet Results


– The lead time demand is 300 electric motor (for
computer printer) per day
– Additional 100 units of electric motor as safety stock
will minimize the total cost per year.
– The reorder point for electric motor for computer
printer should be 400 units.
– The minimum inventory cost is $1375
