Annual demand for Litepro, DL = 10,000
Annual demand for Medpro, DM = 4,000 The information for Table 11-1 is
contained in Cells A15 to F19.
Product specific ordering cost, sL = $ 100
Product specific ordering cost, sM = $ 400 To redo Examples 11-3, 11-4, 11-6 for different values
of product specific ordering costs, change Cells D5-D7
Unit Cost, CL = on this worksheet to 300 (low product specific ordering costs)
$ 100.00 and 3,000 (high product specific ordering costs). This allows a
Unit Cost, CM = $ 400.00 comparison of the value of complete aggregation and
tailored aggregation on worksheets Example 11-4 and
Example 11-6.

Unit cost per product, Ci $ 50
Common order cost, S $ 500
Supplier specific order cost, si $ 100
Number of suppliers 4

Quantity ordered from each supplier 670.82 √((∑26_(𝑖=1)^4▒ 〖𝐷 _𝑖 ℎ𝐶_𝑖 〗 )/
Total amount on truck 2,683.28 (2𝑆^∗ ))
Annual order cost $ 13,416
Annual holding cost $ 13,416
With Capacity Constraint
Total amount on truck 2500
Quantity ordered from each supplier 625.00
Order frequency/year 16.00
Annual order cost $ 14,400
Annual holding cost $ 12,500
Change the number of suppliers per truck in Cell B8 from
2 to 6 and see how the quantity order / supplier and the
optimal order frequency changes in Cells B22, 23
for the capacity constrained case.
