  1. 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
    1. 4.5 days
    2. 4.5 months
    3. 6.8 days
    4. 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

Q* = √
2 × D × CO
×
P
ChP - C

⇒ √
2 × 240000 × 500
×
12000
0.20 × 1212000 - 8000

⇒ 54772.526
T =

C

T ⇒ 6.84 days
