(b) Eigen Real Estate Company buys cement, at a price of 500 Taka per bag, from Cemco
Cement Company for construction purpose. Annual demand of cement (at Eigen) is
73,000 bags. Eigen maintains a safety stock of 500 bags, which is 50% of average lead
time demand. Cemco requires 1 day to process a purchase order. Shipment (transit) cost,
to transport cement from Cemco to Eigen, is 10 Taka per bag. At Eigen, annual holding
cost is 20% of the value of stock. Cemco does not want to ship less than a truckload,
when a truckload is 1000 bags. Eigen's procurement lot size is two truckloads. (10+5+5)
(i) What is the shipment (or transit) time?
(ii) What is the total shipment (or transportation) cost?
(iii) What is the total annual inventory holding cost?

SECTION -B
There are FOUR questions in this section. Answer any THREE.
Assume reasonable values for missing data if any. Standard nonnal table is attached.

5. (a) A museum of natural history opened a gift shop which operates 52 weeks per year. The
authority of the museum feels managing inventories has become a problem nowadays.
Previous sales data reveals that top-selling SKU (stock keeping unit) is a bird feeder in the
museum. The following information is collected for analyzing the inventory problem:
- Sales are 18 units per week, the supplier charges $60 per unit.
- Ordering cost is $45.
- Annual holding cost is 25 percent of a feeder's value.
- Management chose a 390-unit lot size.

Required:
(i) What will be the annual cycle-inventory cost of the current policy of using a 390-
unit lot size? (5)
(ii) Would a lot size of 468 be better? (5)
(iii) Find the economic order quantity and the total annual cycle inventory cost. (10)
(iv) How frequently will orders be placed if the EOQ is used? Show your answer in days. (3)
(b) Suppose that the average demand is 18 units per week with a standard deviation of 5
units in 5(a). The lead time is constant at two weeks. Determine the safety stock and
reorder point if management wants a 90 percent cycle-service level. You can use the
information obtained in 5(a)-(iii) to complete your calculation. (7+5=12)

6. (a) A regional distributor purchases discontinued appliances from various suppliers and
then sells them on demand to retailers in the region. The distributor operates 5 days per
week, 52 weeks per year. It is mentioned that orders can be received on working days
only. Management wants to reevaluate its current inventory policy, which calls for order
quantities of 440 counter-top mixers. The following data are estimated for the mixer:
- Average daily demand = 100 mixers.
- Standard deviation of daily demand = 30 mixers.
- Lead time = 3 days.
- Holding cost = $9.40/unit/year.
- Ordering cost = $35/0rder
- Cycle-service level = 92 percent.
The distributor uses a continuous review (Q) system.
Required:
(i) What order quantity Q, and reorder point, R, should be used? (10)
(ii) What is the total annual cost of the system? (5)
(iii) If on-hand inventory is 40 units, one open order for 440 mixers is pending, and
no backorders exist, should a new order be placed? (5)
(b) Suppose, a retailer sells different types of T-shirt varying in sizes and color. The
retailer is planning to order 3000 units of a particular T-shirt for the coming Eid-AI-
Adha, 2016. It is noted that any leftover item after Eid-AI-Adha is sold at $5 per unit.
Following demand data with corresponding probability were tabulated based on previous
sales record.

7. (a) TopOil, a refiner in Indiana, serves three customers near Nashville, Tennessee, and
maintains consignment inventory (owned by TopOil) at each location. Currently, TopOil
uses TL transportation to deliver separately to each customer. Each truck costs $800 plus
$250 per stop. Thus delivering to each customer separately costs $1050 per truck. TopOil
is considering aggregating deliveries to Nashville on a single truck. Demand at the large
customer is 60 tons a year, demand at the medium customer is 24 tons per year, and
demand at small customer is 8 tons per year. Product cost for TopOil is $10,000 per ton,
and it uses a holding cost of 25 percent. Truck capacity is 12 tons.

(i) What is the annual transportation and holding cost if TopOil ships a full truckload
each time a customer is running out of stock? How many days of inventory is carried
at each customer under this policy? (6)
(ii) What is the optimal delivery policy to each customer if TopOil ships separately to
each of them? What is annual transportation and holding cost? How many days of
inventory are carried at each customer under this policy? (12)
(iii) What is the optimal delivery policy to each customer if TopOil aggregates
shipments to each of the three customers on every truck that goes to Nashville? What
is the annual transportation and holding cost? How many days of inventory are
carried at each customer under this policy? (12)
(b) What is ripple effect in a supply chain? Explain with a realistic example. (5)

8. (a) Suppose, you are working as a supply chain manager of a pharmaceutical company in
Bangladesh and you want to implement supply chain coordination mechanism in the
pharmaceutical supply chain. Justify your views on the potential causes and impacts of
the bullwhip effect that may obstruct in implementing the coordinated supply chain. (15)
(b) Do you think the lack of coordination in a supply chain degrades supply chain
performance? Justify your answer using a realistic example. (20)

Myrcella, a 16 year old girl, was employed at a fast food outlet situated at Dome to cook
fries at a frying range. She slipped on water leaking from an ice-making machine and
instinctively put out her hand to break her fall. Unfortunately her hand went into the deep
fat fryer containing oil at a temperature of 3600P and she sustained serve bums to her
hand and forearm. The outlet was short staffed on the day of accident and the team leader
was working on the tills instead of monitoring workplace safety?
Although the company policy was to mop up spillages, it was common practice to leave
spillages at busy times and cover them with a sheet of cardboard, which itself can create a
tripping hazard. At busy times it was usual to give greater priority to serving customers
than to cleaning spillages.
The ice-making machine had been leaking for several days and various attempts had been
made by different contractors to cure the leak. No-one had sole responsibility to
coordinate the repair of faulty equipment and a lack of communication between different
shift managers left the equipment leaking over a long period of time.

The local authority of Dome prosecuted the company and on successful conviction the
magistrates imposed a total fine of 15000. The investigating Environmental Health
Officer believed that the accident was completely avoidable as the company had failed to
maintain a safe system of work or to carry out a suitable and sufficient assessment of the
risks associated with slipping within the kitchen.

7. (a) What type of health hazard control should be instituted first? Why is personal

protective equipment a last resort for controlling exposure? (6)

(b) List the phases of system life cycle. In which phase of system life cycle are

subsystems, assemblies, and subassemblies of the system defined? (5)

(c) Consider your Product Design II sessional project as a system. Explain the activities
you need to perform in the phase of the system life cycle mentioned in Question 7(b) to

ensure safety of the system. (6)

(d) 'Alcohol and acetaminophen' is a dangerous combination for your body. This is
because both are processed in your liver, and each puts a lot of strain on this small but
powerful organ. If you put both drugs into your body at the same time, it can overwhelm

the liver, sending it into failure. (5)

What kind of chemical interaction IS present In the combination of alcohol and
acetaminophen? Explain.
(e) The 2012 Dhaka Fire broke out on 24 November 2012, in the Tazreen Fashion
factory in the Ashulia district on the outskirts of Dhaka, Bangladesh. At least 117 people
were confirmed dead in the fire, and over 200 were injured, making it the deadliest \

factory fire in the nation's history. (6+4+3=13)

The fire, presumably caused by a short circuit, started on the ground flood of the nine-
story factory, trapping the workers on the floors above. Because of the large amount of
fabric and yam in the factory, the fire was able to quickly spread to other floors,
complicating firefighting operations. Most of the victims were found on the second floor,
where at least 69 bodies were recovered. Witnesses reported that many workers had been
unable to escape through the narrow exits of the building. The fire department's
operations manager stated that the factory lacked the adequate emergency exits that
would have made it possible to escape from the building, especially since the fire broke
out in the warehouse on the ground floor and quickly moved up to higher floors. Of the
building's three staircases, all three led through the ground floor, making them extremely
dangerous and unusable in the case of a ground floor fire. This left many workers trapped
and unable to get safety out of the course of the fire. Many of the victims were
unrecognizable because of the severity of the bums.
