Explain the methodology of Brook's algorithm with the help of a simple example PART -C Marks : 1 x 20=20 17. FWX imports Monitors from South East Asia, at a price of $83 per unit. Ordering & Shipping cost an additional $13,000 per shipment, inventory holding casts at FWX are 20% p.a. Daily demand (Monday through Friday) is normally distributed and averages 1000 units, with a standard deviation of 600. An average delivery lead time is 21 working days. To facilitate a desired service level of 99%, FWX spends $ 30,000 per year in administering a perpetual review system. a) Determine an appropriate order size and reorder point. b) Te avoid the high monitoring costs far the perpetual system, Anton, a young Industrial Engineer, has proposed to change to a Periodic Review system. Without any additional investment, Anton found that administrative costs wouki drop by approximately 75%. What de you think about his suggestion? ¢) A local supplier promises 1o deliver any order within exactly 7 working days. Order costs would decrease to $5,000 per order, but the unit price increases by 2%. Should FWX switch suppliers? Ht so, which Review System do you recommend? Explain What you observe. /ENDI FD/RL.
