Central Perk orders their organic coffee filters from a South American supplier that mails them as inexpensively (hence, as slow

ly) as possible. Central Perk uses 80 filters a day with a standard deviation of 5 filters per day. It would be disastrous if they ran out of these filters, years ago customers caught them using paper towels from the men's room and business suffered. They have set their service level at 99% in hopes of avoiding a similar situation. It takes a fortnight to receive a shipment and the standard deviation of the shipping time is two days. What is safety stock they need to carry to meet the 99% service level?

Answer:

1495 filters are considered as safety stock.

Explanation:

d = 80 filters, std devd= 5, L = 14 days, std dev L= 2 days

Std dev dL = Sq rt ( Lσ d2 + d 2σ L2  ) = sq rt ( 350 + 25600) = 161 filter

z= 2.33 at 99% SL

safety stock = 2.33 X 161 = 375 filter

Reorder point = dL + Safety stock = 80 X 14 + 375 = 1495 filters

Reptile [31]

Answer:

Option A; INCREASED COMPETITION FROM IMITATORS.

Explanation:

Innovation occurs only when something is entirely new, having never been done before. Innovation also exist when something which may have been done elsewhere is done for the first time in a given industry.

On the other hand, when other competitors in the same industry subsequently copy the innovator, even though it is something new for them, then it is imitation.

When a company comes out with a new product, its competitors typically go on the defensive, doing whatever they can to reduce the odds that the offering will eat into their sales. Responses might include: cranking up marketing efforts, offering discounts to channel partners and even lobbying for regulations that would hinder the rival's expansion.

Therefore, Lilypad's managers should prepare for INCREASED COMPETITION FROM IMITATORS next.
