Question
Your company has previously used a fixed order size where
ordering takes place once a quarter, but since the product's
sustainability only allows warehousing for a limited time,
demand varies somewhat and the product's character also
means that the stock cost is rather expensive, SEK 54 per
product and year. So, the company wants to investigate
whether a more dynamic order size is preferable. Each order
costs the company approximately SEK 1,200. The forecast for
the next 4 months is given below:
Month 1 2 3 4
Forecast 180 320 490 180
Decide in which periods ordering should take place (you can
choose the calculation method).
