A manufacturer can produce 12000 bearings per day. The manufacturer received an order of 8000 bearings per day from a customer. The cost of holding a bearing in stock is Rs. 0.20 per month. Setup cost per production run is Rs. 500. Assuming 300 working days in a year, the frequency of production run should be
-
- 4.5 days
- 4.5 months
- 6.8 days
- 6.8 months
Correct Option: C
D = 8000 × 300 bearings/year
P = 12000 bearings/day
C = 8000 bearings/day
Ch = 0.12 × 12/year
CO = 500/Production
