Answer:

Safety Stock = 1.881 *37.286=70.134

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

2) Solution to the problem

For this problem we know that the service level = 1-0.09= 0.91 or 91%. Now we can find the z score that accumulates 0.91 of the area below and 0.09 of the area above.

And this value is Z=1.34. And we can find it with the following excel code"1.341"

And then we can find the Safety stock given by this formula:

Safety Stock = z * Standard deviation of lead time

50= 1.341 * sd

sd=37.286

For the other case when the service level is 1-0.03 = 0.97 or 97% the corresponding z score is z=1.881

And the safety stock would be given by:

Safety Stock = 1.881 *37.286=70.134
