4. Example 4 Steve Handel has observed the following demand over the lead time for a product Reorder PointNumber of unitsProbability ROP 30 40 50 60 70 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.2 1.0

5. Example 4 -- Contd The carrying cost is $30 per unit per year., and the stockout cost is $50 per unit per stockout. Two orders are placed per year. Given this information, Steve would like to determine the best safety stock policy.
