Answer:
9 pizzas
Explanation:
Given that:
A pizza is ordered frozen from a local pizza establishment and baked at the cafeteria.
Judith anticipates a weekly demand of 10 pizzas.
Opening weeks in a year = 45 weeks
Opening days in a week = 5 days
Daily demand = 10/5 = 2
Ordering cost = $15
Holding cost = $0.40 /pizza/year
Lead time = 4 days
Safety stock = 1 pizza
The objective is to determine the optimal reorder point.
The optimal reorder point = (daily demand × lead time) + safety stock
The optimal reorder point =( 2 × 4 ) + 1
The optimal reorder point = 8 + 1
The optimal reorder point = 9 pizzas
