Case Study Report 1: THREE JAYS CORPORATION 1. Using the data in case Exhibit 4 and the 2012 annual demand, calculate the EOQ and ROP quantities for the five SKUs scheduled to be produced in the last ... week of June. How do these amounts compare with those calculated in 2011? Compare the increases in EOQs with the increases in annual demand. (2.5 points) The 2012 Annual Demand is given as The EOQ and ROP quantities for the five SKU’s based on 2012 annual demand is given as As Demand increased from 2011 to 2012, the EOQ’s also increased So, if Annual Demand doubles, the EOQ will increase by sqrt(2) 2. Brodie is uncertain if the costs presented in case Exhibit 2 are appropriate for determining the EOQs. What changes would you recommend, and why? Should the cost of the three idle part-time workers be included when the production line is down? Using the 2012 annual demand, and your recommendations, recalculate the EOQs for the five SKUs. (2.5 points) Brodie’s first assignment in his internship is to update the EOQ and ROP quantities for all 141 SKUs, to reflect the current levels of demand (D), because the original calculations were done in 2011 with sales figures from 2010. This task is simple for the ROP, where: Making changes to the EOQ amounts is more complicated, as several logical errors exist in the data that are used as inputs for the EOQ formula. Specifically, these are the setup cost (S), the unit cost (C), and the inventory carrying c [Show More]
