akash lmt gives you the following information : 

Emergency stock is 32000 units . usually it takes atleast 4 weeks to obrain fresh supply . A cushion of 75% is added to minimum usage rate to determine average stock usage rate . materials consignment have always been received with in 8 weeks from the date of purchase order .EOQ 50000 units ..

 

compute the stock levels . state your assumption clearly ... 

 

frnds i wanna know if we have to assume the usuage levels or is there anything with regard to it in the question .....

Hai dear......

     Assume Emergency Stock as Danger Level --> Min Usage x Min lead time = 32000 uts ( Given )

                                                                              Min USage  x 4 weeks = 32000

                                                                     Therefore, Min Usage = 8000 uts 

it is given that 75% is added to Min usage, inorder to get Avg usage --> 8000 uts x 175% = 14000 uts.
Therefore, we can write , Avg Usage = (Min usage + Max Usage ) / 2

                   14000 uts = ( 8000 uts + Max usage ) / 2

                   28000 uts - 8000 uts = Max usage

     Therefore, Max usage = 20, 000 uts

 Now we have, Min usage = 8000 uts, MAx usage = 20,000 uts, Max Lead time = 8 weeks, Min lead time = 4 weeks, ROQ = 5000 uts;

Hence, we can calculate Various Stock Levels by using relevant formule.

 Hope  u understand......

danger level is found out by multiplying the normal cosnumption level * maximum reoreder time in case of an emergency order.....
