The following questions are based upon the Buffer Sizing Exercise you were to have watched as part of the required material for Topic 7.
How is the day’s demand determined? (Hint: If you are told that the day’s demand was 2, what do you know about how that number was derived?)
You manage a Mexican restaurant that is open 7 days a week. One of your responsibilities is to manage inventory. Historically, you’ve NEVER used more than 2 cases of enchilada sauce per day. You place orders to your vendor every four days and it takes that vendor 2 days to get what you’ve ordered to your restaurant. Show your calculations and state what your Time to be Reliably Replenished is.
What would the appropriate initial buffer size be with the data you’re given in 5b?
