Attempt all the questions. All the questions are compulsory and carry equal marks.
Section-A
Ques. 1 Describe the supply chain involved in making the bottle of Coke that you have just
picked up from your neighbourhood retail store.
Ques. 2 How do transport companies benefit from technology like Global Positioning System
(GPS)? With the help of GPS, can transport companies track their trucks on real time
basis.
Ques. 3 Given the information below, what are the EOQ and reorder point?
Annual Demand = 1,000 units
Days per year considered in average daily demand = 365
Cost to place an order = Rs. 10
Holding cost per unit per year = Rs. 2.50
Lead time = 7 days
Cost per unit = Rs. 15
Ques. 4 Suppose a retail company’s new annual report claims their costs of goods sold for the
year is Rs. 160 million and their total average inventory (production materials + work-
in-process) is worth Rs. 35 million. This company normally has an inventory turnover
ratio of 10. What is this year’s Inventory Turnover ratio? What does it mean?
