2 186 ANSWERS AND runts It follows that both fl and gl will approach zero. b) Define ht =at -c-d (t+i). We obtain h t = (I-a)ht-I -d = (I-a)ht-I +a(-dl a), and from our results on exponential smoothing it follows that hi will approach -dla in the long run. 3.1 a) b) QA = 1000, Q8 = 939. The relative cost increase is given by ~ =!(.J125/200 +.J2001l25) = C 2 For product A the correct cost is C =.J = $15179 so the cost increase is $ ~ =!(.JM +.J1I0.6) = C C Q. Q. Q.

Two periods ( )/2 = 70 ~ 100, Three periods ( )/3 = 106.7> 70, delivery in period 5, i.e., same solution. c) Two periods 40 ~ 100, Three periods > 100, delivery in period 3. Two periods 40 ~ 100, Three periods > 100, delivery in period 5, i.e., same solution. 3.6 a) Period t d. k=t k=t+l k=t Deliveries 50 in period 1, 165 in period 3, and 170 in period 5. Cost $380. b) Two periods ( )/2 = 60 ~ 100, Three periods ( )/3 = > 60, delivery in period 3. Two periods ( )/2 = 67.5 ~ 100, Three periods ( )/3 = 85> 67.5, delivery in period 5, Two periods ( )/2 = 62.5 ~ 100, i.e., same solution. 3.7 a) Period t d k=t k=t k=t k=t k=t k=t k=t Deliveries 10 in period 1, 36 in period 2, and 19 in period 4. Cost $436. b) Two periods ( )/2 = 98 ~ 100, Three periods ( )/3 = 97.3 ~ 98, Four periods ( )/4 = 94 ~ 97.3, Five periods ( )/5 = 91.2 ~ 94, Six periods ( )/6 = 89.3 ~ 91.2,

4 188 ANSWERS AND HINTS Seven periods ( )n = 86.9 S 89.3, i.e., just one delivery in period 1. Cost $608. Note the large difference due to the special demand structure. 3.8 We obtain Il' = 200 and a' = 2 7 ~1t/2 40 = a) b) 3.9 a) b) c) 3.10 a) b) SS = :::: 104, and R = 304. S2 = 92 percent, S2 = 96 percent, and S2 = 99.7 percent. 68, 104, and , 98.3, and 99.2 percent. 77.3, and 99.9 percent. SS = = 35. SI = cp(0.7) = 75.8 percent. S2 = 96.4 percent. Let the lead-time demand be uniform on (100 - a, a). We obtain i.e., a = ~7500 = S( = ( ) = 70.2 percent. The average backordered quantity per cycle is E(B) = 181"6 (u -135) du = 7.686, ( and S2 = /200 = 96.2 percent a) Initially Il' = 800 and a' = 100. We get S2 = 96.7 percent. After reducing the leadtime Il' = 400 and a' = 50J2 = We get S2 > percent. We obtain the average stock on hand as The stock on hand is increasing from to 750. b) R can be reduced to 419. The stock on hand is a) Applying (4.12) and (4.13) we obtain T( = , T2 = , T3 = , and the costs C( = , C2 = , C 3 = The sum of these costs C = is a lower bound for the total costs. b) Assume that the independent solution is feasible and that we start production of product 3 at times t', t' , t' + 2' etc. Assume that the first production of product 2 after time t' starts at time t'+a(. Clearly a(2! a3 = But the next time the time difference is a2 = a( + T2 - T3 = a( The time after that it is a3 = a , etc. After some time we will obtain for some n, 0 < an < a3 which means that the solution is infeasible.

5 ANSWERS AND HINTS 189 c) Applying (4.17)-(4.19) we obtain Tmin = 7.292, and t = , i.e., Top! = d) t = The corresponding total costs per unit of time are C = Starting with W = we obtain n. = 1, n2 = n3 = 2. Next we get the final solution W = with the same multipliers and the total costs C = The solution is feasible if we produce items 2 and 3 in different basic periods. In basic periods where product 1 and 2 are produced, the time required is cr. + cr2 = = < In basic periods where product 1 and 3 are produced, the time required is cr. + cr3 = = < a) Change first to the equivalent R~ = 2 such that IP~o - R~ is a multiple of Q. 5.2 Next we use (5.4) to obtain R ~ = 8 and R ~ = 20. b) For both policies we have: Installation I order at times 7, 17,27,..., and installation 2 at times 7, 27, 47,... c) At times 6, 26, 46,... No equivalent installation stock policy exists, since the echelon stock policy is not nested.

7 ANSWERS AND HINTS a) We have e, = e2 = 1. Since A2/e2 > A,/e" the constraint Q2 ~ Q, will be satisfied automatically if we optimize the items separately in the relaxed problem. We obtain Q; = ~2A,dl e, = 20J5 == 44.72, and Q; = ~2A2d I ez = 100. A lower bound for the costs is ~2A,de, +~2Azde2 == Without any lack of generality we can assume that 20J51.,fi < q ::; 20J5.,fi. This means that Q, = q. Furthermore we should choose Qz = 2q for q ~ 50 I.,fi and Qz = 4q otherwise. We obtain C(q) = 5~+ 2~0, 20.J51.,fi < q < 501.,fi, We obtain the optimal q == 48.30, Q, = q, and Qz =2q. The optimal costs are C == , i.e., only 0.13 percent above the lower bound. b) From (5.17) we obtain k =.J5. Since.J5 12 $. 31.J5 it is optimal to have k = 2. Inserting in (5.14) and (5.15) we get the same solution as in a). Le., b) p(2)=3,p(l)=2. We obtain A3 =A3, h; =e3,and

8 192 ANSWERS AND HINTS and 5.6 Note first that 112 = 02 = 0 and that S; does not change. Consequently (5.40) degenerates to Since the costs for S2 > S; are increasing with S2, the optimal S2 must occur for S2 ~ S;. From (5.37) we obtain This is the cost for a single-echelon system, since there is no stock at installation 2, and since the possible order-up-to level at installation 1 is bounded by S2' We obtain the optimal S2 from the condition J S; ~~i') = _b_, _ =..!E... = 0.870, ~l 0, h,+b, 1l.5. S " " 3 (;' Th A '.e., 2=1l,+1.l3 0,= ,,6=73.8. ecostsarec2( S 2)= a) Using (5.48) we obtain P(lLo = 1) = , P(lLo = 2) = , P(ILo = 3) = The holding costs are determined from (5.49). For Poisson demand the fill rate is equivalent to the ready rate, i.e., P(lLo > 0) = = 42.3 percent. b) From (5.51) and (5.52) we obtain E(lLo) = and E(Wo) =0.672/3 = Consequently, II = I2 = For retailer 1 we obtain P(lLI = I) = , P(lLI = 2) = , P(lLI = 3) = The holding costs are and the backorder costs The fill rate is 87.4 percent. For retailer 2 we get P(I~ = 1) = , P(I~ = 2) = , P(I~ = 3) = , P(I~ = 4) = , P(l~ = 5) = The holding costs are and the backorder costs The fill rate is 89.8 percent.
