weekly demands for the first 21 weeks of this year and assuming 52 business weeks per year‚ we find the EOQ as follows: Weekly demand average = 102 gaskets/week Annual demand (D) = 102(52) = 5304 gaskets Holding cost = $1.85 per gasket per year (or 0.21 0.68 $12.99) Ordering cost = $20 per order gaskets Turning to R‚ the Normal Distribution appendix shows that a 95% cycle-service level corresponds to a z = 1.65. We then use the EG151 data to find the standard deviation of demand. Standard
