Answer and explanation:
The law of Diminishing Marginal Utility states that the more you consume a good or use a service, the less satisfied you will be with each successive use or consumption. It is an important concept in determining consumer preferences. It assumes consumers are rational and will spend money in a way that maximizes contentment with each subsequent unit without negatively affecting their total enjoyment.
Answer:
The answer is False. By cutting the variance of the demand during lead time to 1/2 its original value while maintaining the same lead times, the new safety stock will also drop to 1/2 its original value.
Explanation:
Safety stock is a form of inventory management that provides an additional unit of an item held as a buffer i order to mitigate risk of running out of stock.
A reorder point provides a buffer of time to restock items when stock is running out. It helps to reduce operational costs and chaos that may arise such as rush fees owed to suppliers. It makes the use of a warehouse space more efficient.
Suppose we are a distributor that uses safety stock and a reorder point for inventory management. If we can find a more consistent manufacturer that will maintain the same mean lead times while cutting the variance of the demand during lead time to 1/2 its original value, the new safety stock that we need to carry to achieve the same service level will also drop to 1/2 its original value.
