The safety stock that minimizes total incremental cost is 100 kilos. The reorder point then is 200 kilos +
100 kilos, or 300 kilos.

(12-16) is used.
Z = 1.88 for 97% service level
12.48 (a) Both lead time and demand are variables, so Equation
(12-17) applies, in weeks. Z = 1.28 for 90% service.

So ROP = (200 × 6) + 1.65(405) 1,200 + 668 = 1,868 cigars.

Actual Solution: The demand is not constant. Maddux needs
200,000 programs this year. The programs will be different next
year when he will also have a new forecast demand, depending on
cost of $308,800.
Theoretical unit cost = ($1.44 200,000) = $288,000
Theoretical ordering cost = (

Maddux needs 40,000 inserts for each game and must order them
on a per game basis. Inserts for each game are unique, as statistics
and lineup for each team changes as the season progresses. If
place to the necessity of ordering 40,000 inserts for each game.
Therefore, Maddux should order 40,000 inserts from First
Ordering cost = 5 orders must be placed @ 40,000 inserts;
5 setups cost $1,500 @ $300 each.
