Question



Please show your all work and calculations. Thanks!
1.A company has an annual requirement for 205,000 parts, which have a WIP cost of $82 each at the time of this processing. The parts require an outsourced operation which has a setup cost o $6,600. Each part occupies 1.2 sqft of floor space in the factory, where the space cost is $21 per sqft. The company uses 22.5% as MARR. Calculate the economic order quantity and the time between production runs for the outsourced operation. Also calculate the combined setup amd storage costs for a year, operating at the economic order quantity. Plot the inventory level vs time for a reasonable number of full inventory cycles. If the company decides to meet the annual volume requirement of 250,000 by placing an order for the outsourcing operation every 3 months, what would be the effect on the combined setup and storage costs for the year?

Explanation / Answer

Annual Requirement=205000

Assume Economic Order quantity=Q

Number of Set ups=205000/Q

Total Cost of Set up=$6600*(205000/Q)

Average Inventory=Q/2

Space cost per part for keeping inventory=$21*1.2=$25.2

Total space cost=(Q/2)*25.2

Cost of inventory=$82*(Q/2)

MARR=22.5%=0.225

Cost of keeping inventory=82*(Q/2)*0.225

Total Carrying cost of inventory=(Q/2)*25.2)+(82*(Q/2)*0.225)

Total Set up Cost=6600*(205000/Q)

For Minimization of total cost:

Total Set up cost=Total carrying cost

6600*(205000/Q)=(Q/2)*(25.2+(82*0.225)=(Q/2)*43.65

(Q^2)=(2*6600*205000)/43.65=61993127)

Q=Square Root(61993127)= 7873.57144

Q=7874(Rounded to whole number)

Economic Order Quantity=7874

Number of Production Runs=205000/7874=26

Time between Production runs=365/26=14 days

Combined set up and storage cost=(6600*(205000/Q))+((Q/2)*43.65

Combined set up and storage cost=6600*26+(7874/2)*43.65=$343,450

If it is decided to place order every three months:

Order Quantity Q=205000/4=51250

Number of runs=205000/51250=4

Combined Set up and Storage cost=(6600*4)+(51250/2)*43.65)

Combined Set up and Storage cost= $ 1,144,931

Combined Set up and storage cost will increase by(1144931-343450)= $ 801,481
