a.   Develop an A-B-C classification for these items. [See table.]

b.   How could the manager use this information? To allocate control efforts.

c.   Suppose after reviewing your classification scheme, the manager decides to place item P05 into the “A” category. What would some possible explanations be for that decision?

      It might be important for some reason other than dollar usage, such as cost of a stockout, usage highly correlated to an A item, etc.

13.         D = 18,000 boxes/yr.

         S = $32

         H = $.20/box per yr.

a. 100 to Qo =

Since this quantity is feasible in the range 200 to 4,999, its total cost and the total cost of all lower price breaks (i.e., 5,000 and 10,000) must be compared to see which is lowest.

TC2,400 =

TC5,000 =

TC10,000 =

Hence, the best order quantity would be 10,000 boxes.
