Sport Obermeyer
The Sample Problem

Objective: To prepare a production schedule according to demand forecasts made by the design committee.

Constraints: 1. Minimum order quantity at: Hong Kong – 600 China -1200 2. Total order quantity (1st schedule): 10000 3. Almost Half of production to be done each in China and Hong Kong

Expected Safe Margin of Production: Average Forecast – 2* standard Deviation

|Style |Price |Average |Std Dev |2 * Std Dev |Safe Order |
| | | | | |Size |
|Gail |110 |1017 |194 |388 |629 |
|Isis |99 |1042 |323 |646 |395 |
|Entice |80 |1358 |248 |496 |863 |
|Assault |90 |2525 |340 |680 |1845 |
|Teri |123 |1100 |381 |762 |338 |
|Electra |173 |2150 |404 |807 |1343 |
|Stephanie |133 |1113 |524 |1048 |65 |
|Seduced |73 |4017 |556 |1113 |2904 |
|Anita |93 |3296 |1047 |2094 |1202 |
|Daphne |148 |2383 |697 |1394 |990 |
|Totals | |20000 | | |10572 |

Although we have seen the safe order size but the order size do not confirm with the minimum order size requirements of the plants in Hong Kong and China. We therefore need to drop the orders of those products as they are risky and may result in loss. We can make order allocations as:

1. Allocation 1 : Dropping of ISIS, STEPHANIE, TERI.

Total Remaining order size =

    LL Bean

    3. LL Bean utilizes a probability distribution methodology to help predict the optimal order size of a specific item. The probability distribution is driven by a series of calculations that will predict forecast errors. One of the major concerns is that LL Bean tends to order more inventory than what was predicted in the frozen forecast. Their logic for doing this is that the cost of understocking exceeds the cost of overstocking. According to Marck Fasold (CFO), this methodology leads to major discrepancies with forecasting the demand for their products. Also, this leads to buyers being challenged that products are being ordered that do not align with their forecasting predictions. In addition, Rol Fessenden eludes to the fact that the methodology has issues because they can’t find any real distribution errors among products and he is not convinced about the estimating contribution margins and liquidation costs.…

    Qat 4

    To find the order size for Company A you need to use the economic order quantity model. This will give the smallest total cost to the company. First you need to find the holding cost. To find the holding cost you multiply the annual holding cost rate by the unit cost of the item (Ch=IC). In this example the annual holding cost rate is 3% and the unit cost is $500 (Ch=3%X$500 or Ch=$15). Now that you have the holding cost you can find the optimal order size. To find the optimal order size you take the square root of 2 times the demand times the ordering cost divided by the holding cost. Q*= the square root of 2(D)(Co)/Ch or Q*= the square root of 2(400,000)(42)/15. When you complete this equation you get 1,496.66. Because you can not create a partial laptop you need to round up. Thus giving you 1,497 laptops as the optimal ordering size.…

    With the MPS on hand it is clear that Realco will indeed meet their customer’s requirements based on the production available to include the promised shipments in 3 weeks. On the 8th week however, they will have a surplus of inventory. Mr. Chang the owner stated that the ending inventory of 51,650 units was too high and should be used as a Reorder Point (ROP) to indicate that there is a problem with overproducing. Fortunately Realco has not overpromised since they are able to meet their customer’s demands with the excess inventory. This does indicate that production numbers need to be readjusted to accommodate consumer demand.…

    Mathematical Patterns and Relations

    After viewing some background information on the yowie (a short video and newspaper article), we were given the foot length of the yowie (43cm) and asked to find its height from this measurement. We were asked to collect a series of measurements of our body proportions. After some discussion about not getting precise enough approximation for some body proportions, specifically the a/b/c finger, we decided to only include foot length, height and arm span as we thought that this was the essence of the our initial question. Based on our initial foot measurements we agreed that for our estimation of the yowie’s height we would double Tamara’s height as her foot measurement doubled was the closet to the yowie’s (157x2=314) making our height estimate to be 314cm. Our body proportion can be seen in table 1.…

    Sport Obermeyer Case Study

    The biggest challenge Sport Obermeyer is facing is uncertainty. The demand for each of the styles is completely un-deterministic and is very hard to predict. At the same time, Obermeyer production cycle is very long which is making it nearly impossible to adapt to the market. On one hand, if the produced items do not sell, Obermeyer incurs the loss of manufacturing cost. On the other hand, if we do not produce enough of the product to meet all of the demand for it, we lose the unattained revenue and lost demand that will shift to another product. Thus in both cases, the uncertain demand is costing Obermeyer a lot. Coupling this with their inflexibility to meet unexpected or unplanned demand puts a big challenge to Obermeyer. The large batch sizes required by manufacturers for Obermeyer further highly restricts Obermeyer ability to respond to uncertain demand.…
