Long description

Solution to the first Hinsdale example where standard deviation of demand during lead time was given is as follows:

  • Z value is 1.64

  • Safety stock is 16.45

Solution to the second Hinsdale example where daily demand was normally distributed is as follows:

  • Z value is 1.88

  • Average demand during lead time is 60

  • Standard deviation of demand during lead time, sigma sub dlt is 6.00

  • Safety stock is 11.28

  • Reorder point is 71.28

Solution to third Hinsdale example where daily demand was constant but lead time was normally distributed is as follows:

  • Z value is 2.05

  • Average demand during lead time is 150

  • Standard deviation of demand during lead time, sigma sub dlt is 75.00

  • Safety stock is 154.03

  • Reorder point is 304.03
