The LEGO Group has established a fixed quantity inventory system for its stores
in Singapore. As the manager, you have the following information:
Average monthly demand: 355
Lead time = 45 days
Ordering cost = $87 per order
Unit price = $9
Carrying/holding rate = 25%
Standard deviation of monthly demand = 70.
Assume 30 days per month.
Service level = 99% (z = 3.085)
Calculate the economic order quantity and the reorder point (considering that
only demand for some length of time is known).
In your opinion, is this fixed quantity inventory system the most suitable for
LEGOs stores in Singapore? Why or why not?
