Maintaining Optimal Level of Stock Problem
Question
Problem
CPG Bagels starts the day with a large production run of bagels. Throughout the morning, additional bagels are produced as needed. The last bake is completed at 3:00 pm and the store closes at 8:00 pm. It costs approximately $0.20 in materials and labor to make a bagel. The price of a fresh bagel is $0.60. Bagels not sold by the end of the day are sold next day as “day old” bagels in bags of six, for $0.99 a bag. About two-thirds of the day-old bagels are sold; the remainders are just thrown away. There are many bagel flavors, but for simplicity, concentrate on plain bagels. The store manager predicts that demand for plain bagels from 3:00 pm until closing are normally distributed with mean of 54 and standard deviation of 21.
a. How many bagels should the store have at 3:00 pm to maximize the store’s expected profit from sales between 3:00 pm until closing? Assume day-old bagels are sold for $0.99/6=$0.165 each, i.e., do not worry about the fact that day old bagels are sold in bags of six.
b. Suppose the manager would like to ensure at least 99% service level on demand that occurs after 3:00 pm. How many bagels should the store have at 3:00 pm?
c. Suppose that the store manager is concerned that stock-outs might cause a loss of future business. To explore this idea, the store manager feels that it is appropriate to assign
d. Stock-out cost of $5.00 per bagel that is demanded but not filled. Given this additional cost, how many bagels should the store have at 3:00 pm to maximize the expected profit?

When I was handed over a data filled excel sheet to analyze as a part of the assignment, then I had no idea what to do and how to approach. I kept on thinking as the deadline kept on getting nearer. Then one of my seniors in college told me about HwA and that is how I first approached them. The experience was fantastic as the experts here found out definitive trends and made sense out of that sheet. They also helped me with the writing the analysis and I got good grades.

I work in a consultancy firm from where I planned to do my MBA in correspondence from a reputed University of New Zealand. Since I chose marketing as my main stream, I got plenty of help on all my assignments from the experts from New Zealand, through HwA.
Joshua Harris Student
The experience is wonderful and more importantly I enjoyed the warmth with which they welcomed me and addressed my marketing management problem. The experts here are from Australia itself and not someone sitting in UK and USA, not having any knowledge about the Australian market.

It is important to have a constant guide while you do your dissertation as the lack of constant help often leaves you all the more bewildered. The New Zealand dissertation expert who helped me with my assignment was available on a constant basis and she helped me get a fantastic grade.

Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
