Suppose that the manager of a company has estimated the probability of a super-event sometime during the next five years that wi

ll disrupt all suppliers as 5%, and the probability of a unique-event that would disrupt one of them sometime during the next five years to be 10%. Supplier management costs during this period are $30,000 per supplier. The financial cost incurred if all suppliers are disrupted at the same time is estimated to be $2,000,000. Assume that up to five nearly identical suppliers are available. How many suppliers should the manager use?

Based on the financial cost incurred if supply is disrupted and the probability that this happens, the number of suppliers the manager should use is Two (2) suppliers.

<h3>How many suppliers should be used?</h3>

If 3 suppliers are used, the probability of disruption would be:

= Probability of super event + (1 - Probability of super event) x Probability of unique event^ number of suppliers

= 5% + (1 - 5%) x 10%³

= 0.145

The payoff would be:

= 2 million x 0.145 + 30,000

= $191,900

With two suppliers:
= 2 million x (5% + (1 - 5%) x 10%²) + 30,000

= $169,000

With one supplier :

= 2 million x (5% + (1 - 5%) x 10%) + 30,000

= $320,000

The lowest cost is with 2 suppliers so this should be chosen.

maw [93]

Answer:

Explanation:

Annual demand (D) = 20000 units

Number of days per year = 250

Demand rate(d) = D/number of days per year = 20000/250 = 80 units

Production rate(p) = 655 units

Set up cost(S) = $1800

Holding cost (H) = $1.50

A) Optimum run size(Q) = sqrt of {2DS / H [1-(d/p)]}

= sqrt of {(2x20000x1800) /1.50[1-(80/655)]}

= Sqrt of [7200000/1.50(1-0.1221) ]

= sqrt of [72000000/(1.50 x 0.8779)]

= sqrt of (7200000/1.31685)

= Sqrt of 5467593.1199

= 2338 units

b) Maximum inventory ( I - max) = (Q/p) (p-d) = (2338/655)(655-80) = 3.5695 x 575 = 2052.46 or rounded off to 2052 units

Average inventory = I-max/2 = 2052/2 = 1026 units

C) Number of production setups per year = D/Q = 20000/2338 = 8.55 or rounded up to 6

d) optimal length of production run  = optimal run size /production rate = 2338/655 = 3.56 or rounded up to 4 days
