Weekly demand for a product is 250 units with a standard deviation of 60 units (assume 52 weeks per year). Lead-time is 3 weeks. Calculate the safety stock and the reorder point for 98 percent service level.

Using the data below, find the EOQ, the total annual cost associated with the economic order quantity, the reorder point, number of orders per year and the time between orders.

Annual Demand 15,600 units
Weeks Operating 52 weeks/year
Set up Cost $60/order
Holding rate 20%
Unit cost $80 /unit
Lead-Time 5 weeks
