Speculative Production:
Overstock versus Stockout?
Assume that Sport Obermeyer: is in the Speculative Production phase, forecasts that demand (D) for the Andy parka has a Normal Probability
Distribution with a mean of 1000 and a standard deviation of 250, and has decided that the Andy parka’s Speculative Production should be
Q=750.
Pr{Stockout}=Pr{D>Q}

Speculative Production:
Guidelines for Choosing a Parka to Produce
In this slide and the next 4 slides, we will assume that Sport Obermeyer is in the Speculative
Production phase and must decide whether to produce the Andy parka or the Peter parka.
We will also assume that a parka’s demand has a
Normal Probability Distribution.
We will investigate how this decision is affected by: the parka’s standard deviation of demand, the parka’s mean demand, and the parka’s unit cost of production.

The Effect of a Parka’s
Standard Deviation of Demand
Assume that Andy and Peter have the same unit cost of production and the same mean demand of 1000, but that
Andy’s demand has a standard deviation of 100 while
Peter’s demand has a standard deviation of 200.

    Texas Gladiators Case

    • 508 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The Texas Gladiators won the Super Bowl last year. As a result, sportswear such as hats, sweatshirts, sweatpants, and jackets with the Gladiator’s logo are popular. The Gladiators operate an apparel store outside the football stadium. It is near a busy highway, so the store has heavy customer traffic throughout the year, not just on game days. In addition, the stadium has high school or college football and soccer games almost every week in the fall, and baseball games in the spring and summer. The most popular single item the stadium store sells is a red and silver baseball style cap with the Gladiators’ logo on it. The cap has an elastic headband inside it, which conforms to different head sizes. However, the store has had a difficult time keeping the cap in stock, especially during the time between the placement and receipt of an order. Often customers come to the store just for the hat; when it is not in stock, customers are upset, and the store management believes they tend to go to other competing stores to purchase their Gladiators’ clothing. To rectify this problem, the store manager, Jessica James, would like to develop an inventory control policy that would ensure that customers would be able to purchase the cap 99% of the time they asked for it. Jessica has accumulated some demand data for the cap for a 30-week period. The data is shown below. (Demand includes actual sales plus a record of the times a cap has been requested but not available and an estimate of the number of times a customer wanted a cap when it was not available but did not ask for it.)…

    Larry Edmunds grimaces as he tossed his company’s latest quarterly earnings onto his desk. When Virginia-based Edmunds Corrugated Parts & Service Co’s sales surged past the $10 million mark awhile back, he was certain the company was well-positioned for steady growth. Today the company, which provided precision machine parts and service to the domestic corrugated box industry, still enjoys a dominant market share and is showing a profit, though not quite seen in years past. However, it is no longer possible to ignore the fact that revenues were beginning to show clear signs of stagnation.…
