The weekly demand for a product is 770 units. The standard deviation of daily demand is 10 units. The
firm reviews its inventory every 28 days. Each order for the product arrives 9 days after placement. At
the time of review, there are 10 units backorder. If 95 percent of all demand is to be satisfied from items
in stock:

a) How many units should be the safety stock?

SS=zσ d √ T + L

SS=1.64 ×10 √ 28+9


SS=99.757305≈ 100 units

b) What’s the product’s inventory status?

Inventory Status=On Hand +OnOrder−Backorder


Inventory Status=0+0−10
Inventory Status=−1 0units

c) How many units should be ordered for this period?

q=d ( T + L ) + SS−I
q=10 ( 28+9 )+100−(−10)
q=370+100+10 ¿
q=3 90 units
