Problem 1:
Consider a two-stage serial process where the second stage is a rather minor
operation adding little extra value to the product. To be more specific, suppose we
have an item with these characteristics (borrowing the notation of W for
warehouse, or primary stage and “R” for retailer, or finishing stage).

Problem 2:
A warehouse supplies a single retailer with a product. The warehouse’s purchasing
lead time is 3 weeks and the lead time for the retailer (from the warehouse) is 1 week.
Assume that forecast errors are normally distributed with the σ for 1 week being 70
units, and that σ =𝑡σ . The annual demand rate is 12,000 units, and the
𝑡1
following data have been gathered:
𝑣 = $32/unit, 𝑣 = $38/unit, 𝑟 = 0.22 $/$/year, 𝑛 = 2, or the warehouse orders two
𝑊 𝑅
batches of the retailer’s order quantity at one time. The retailers order quantity is 𝑄

𝑅 2 at 0.65. Find the reorder point for both locations.

Problem 3:
A retailer supplies a small storefront outlet with a unique product. In a sense, the
retailer serves as the warehouse for this outlet. The retailers’ purchasing lead time is
2 weeks and the lead time for the outlet from the retailer is also 2 weeks, primarily
due to order handling time. Assume that forecast errors are normally distributed with
the σ for 1 week being 10 units, and that σ =𝑡σ . The annual
