Buffer Stock
B = Ld * r
Ld = Difference Between maximum lead time and normal
lead time.
r- consumption rate during lead time
Reorder level
1. If buffer stock is not maintained
ROL = L* r units
2. If we maintain buffer stock with B units then
ROL = B+L* r units
3. Average Inventory = B + (Q/2)
4. Maximum Inventory = B + Q

Problem
1. A manufacturer has to supply his customer with 600 units of the
product per year. Shortages are not allowed and the storage cost amounts
to Re.0.60 per unit per year. The set-up cost per run is Rs.80.Find the
optimum run size and the minimum average yearly cost.
2. A manufacturer has to supply his customer with 24,000 units of his
product per year. This demand is fixed and known. Since the unit is used
by the customer in an assembly line operation and the customer has no
storage space for the units, the manufacturer must ship a days supply
each day. If the manufacturer fails to supply the units he will lose the
account and probably the business. Hence, the cost of storage is assumed
to be infinite, and consequently, none will be tolerated. The inventory
holding cost amounts to 0.10 per unit per month, and the set up cost per
run is Rs.350.Find the optimum lot size and the length of optimum
production run.
