FE 1. Jane’s Teddy Bears
0.0/5.0 points (graded)
Instructions: Answer the question and click Submit.
Jane’s Teddy Bears from Manchester are selling stu ed toys all around the world. At
the moment, the market in Brazil is expanding and Jane is producing teddy bears as
fast as she can to meet demands. The reason for the success is that Jane have
launched a product line with teddy bears themed after football teams, and even
individual players, something that really resonates with the Brazilian market.
Jane is now in the process of shipping 35 pallets of products in time for the national
football playo s. Each pallet contains 90 teddy bears. Each bear is packaged in a box
with the dimensions 20 x 25 x 35 cm and each box weighs 450 grams.
An empty pallet weighs 23 kg. A 20 ft container loads 12 pallets. A 40 ft container loads

25 pallets.
Jane has two main options, lease containers or let a forwarder handle the entire
transport.
20ft container 40ft container

Capacity, pallets 12 25
Rent, $ 200 300
Transport port-port, $ 600 800
Haulage (both ends), $ 50 70
If a forwarder manages the transport, Jane pays $155 per tonne (1 tonne = 1000 kg).
However, the forwarder applies a cuto density at 270 kg/m3, meaning that goods
below that density pays as if they weighed 270 kg/m3.

What should Jane do? What is the best alternative?
• Lease 3 x 20ft containers?

• Lease 2 x 40ft containers?
• Lease 1 x 20ft + 1 x 40ft containers?
• Use forwarder?

FE 2. Chemical Industry
Instructions: Answer the questions and click Submit.
A supplier for the chemical industry sells sulphuric acid to two customers. The supplier
manages the stock levels (VMI) for both customers.
The setup looks like this:
The supplier has separate agreements with each customer regarding stock level
interval. For Customer 1, the stock level must be between 8-25 m3. For Customer 2, the
agreement is 5-17 m3. The distance D1 for Customer 1 is 100 km. The distance D2 for
Customer 2 is also 100 km. The distance between the Customer 1 and Customer 2 is 50
km. The transport cost is assumed to be proportional to the distance. The truck loads
30 m3.
Assume that once a stock reaches its lower limit, a replenishment is ordered and
delivered so that the stock level the next day will be increased with the delivered
quantity.
Example: The current stock level is 9 m3. The usage rate is 5 m3/day and the lower limit
is 5 m3. The top limit is 17 m3. Therefore, we want the stock level for the next day to be
17 m3. This means that we have to deliver (17 - 9) + 5 = 13 m3, since 5 m3 will be used
during the same day as the delivery.
In the table below, the current situation is presented:
Customer 1 Customer 2
Storage level, day 1 V1 = 17 m3 V2 = 12 m3
Product usage rate 8 m3/day 5 m3/day
Tip: Use tables to plan the deliveries and nd the answers to questions 2a-2i.
Click here to open empty day-by-day delivery tables
2a. Assume Customer 1 manages their own inventory. Also assume that an order is
triggered when the stock level falls below 8 + 8 = 16 m3 and that delivery takes place
the next day. Disregard Customer 2 in questions 2a-2c.
Which day in the coming 10 days' period is the rst delivery needed?
Enter the correct integer value.
(day)
2b. During the coming 10 days' peiod, how many deliveries are needed?
number of days
2c. How many kilometers are needed in total for the coming 10 days’ deliveries?
km
2d. Similarily to question 2a-2c above, assume that Customer 2 manages their own
inventory. Also assume that an order is triggered when the stock level is 5 + 5 = 10 m3
and that delivery takes place the next day. Disregard Customer 1.
How many kilometers are needed in total for the coming 10 days’ deliveries?
km
2e. Assume that a Vendor Managed Inventory setup is used in questions 2e-2i.
On which day in the coming 10 days' period is the rst delivery run needed?
(day)
2f. How many kilometers will the truck have to drive to complete the rst delivery
run?
km
2g. On which day in the coming 10 days' period is the second delivery run needed?
(day)
2h. How many delivery runs are needed in total?

number of delivery runs
2i. How many kilometers will the truck have to drive in total to make the deliveries to
Customer 1 and 2?

FE 5. Online Store
Instructions: Answer all the questions and click Submit.
FE 5. An online store sells a product for which the daily demand is normally distributed
with a mean of 120 units and with a standard deviation of 10 units. We assume the

$75 and the annual holding cost per item is $0.5. There is no stock out cost and we
assume that un lled orders are lled as soon as the orders arrives. Sales operate 365
days/year. The company wants to have a 95% service level of not stocking out during
the lead time.

FE 6. On-line Store and Kanban

FE 6. Assume the on-line store in question FE 5 above make the products ready for
shipping on a package line, i.e. they pack items in customised packages, labelling etc.
Before shipping, they store the products in an internal warehouse. Between the
warehouse and the package line they want to use a Kanban system. The package line is
supported by a materials manager, who inspects the line every hour. According to his
notes, the time from demand to replenishment is 3 hours. They transport the products
in containers, each containing 20 units. The package line work only day shift, i.e. the
operation time per day is 6 hours.
6a. What's the number of Kanban cards they need, if a safety factor of 0.3 is used?
Enter the correct value in the input eld. Round o to the closest (higher) integer.
cards
The company also wants to see if they can use a Kanban system towards the supplier,
instead of the ROP system. They want to keep the same service level, i.e. 95%. As stated
in question FE 5, the daily demand is normally distributed with a mean 120 and a
standard deviation of 10. The lead time is 14 days. The supplier ships in boxes each
containing 50 units. (Hint: You will need the Safety Stock value to answer the questions
below.)
