Question

A small appliance manufacturer uses 9,810 spools of zip wire every 45 working days. The lead time for the wire is 13 days. Safety stock is 5 days' usage. What is the reorder point?

The formula: Stock Reorder Point = (Daily Usage * Lead Time in Days) + Safety Stock

Answer 1

Hi, thank you for posting your question here at Brainly.

Since you are given with a formula, then we should make us of it. Substituting the appropriate values from the problem statement,

Stock Reorder Point  = (9810 spools/45 working days)*13 days
Stock Reorder Point = 2834 units

Answer 2

Answer: 2839

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The number of spools used by manufacturer in 45 days= 9810

Thus, the number of spools used in 1 one day =$\frac{9810}{45}=218\ spools$

Thus, Daily usage = 218

Lead time in days = 13

Safety stock = 5

According to the given formula, the reorder point is given by :-

$\text{Stock Reorder point = (Daily Usage*Lead Time in days)+Safety stock}\\\\\Rightarrow\text{Stock Reorder point }= 218\times13+5=2839$

Hence, Stock Reorder Point = 2839
