PRACTICE PROBLEMS FOR STOCHASTIC INVENTORY MODELS
1.
The daily demand for an item is 20 units. The procurement lead time for the item is ten (10) days, and the standard
deviation of the demand during the lead time is 12 units. Determine the cycle service level if the reorder level is 213
units.
Reorder point = (daily demand * lead time in days) + Safety stock
= 213 = (20*10) + Safety stock
= Safety stock = 213 - 200 = 13 units
Safety stock = Z * Standard deviation of demand during lead time
= 13 = Z * 12
= Z = 13/12 = 1.08
Z = 1.08 for service level of 86% as per stock coverage table.
2.
The daily demand for an item is 20 units. The procurement lead time for the item is ten (10) days. The standard
deviation of the lead time demand is 12 units. Determine the fill rate if an order for 300 units is placed each time the
inventory falls to 213 units.
Orders is placed when stock level falls to 213, which means reorder point is 213.
Reorder point = (daily demand * lead time in days) + Safety stock
= 213 = (20*10) + Safety stock
=Safety stock = 213 - 200 = 13 units
Safety stock = Z * Standard deviation of demand during lead time
=13 = Z * 12
=Z = 13/12 = 1.08
