  • Ensure that appropriate quantities of materials are ordered at the appropriate time.
  • Ensure the availability of the materials on hand for production.

Create a report to present the results to your area head. Your analysis should include the following:

  • What quantity do you recommend? Why?
  • How did you arrive at the appropriate quantity of materials to be ordered or made?
  • What measures do you suggest to ensure that appropriate quantities are ordered at a particular time?
  • How will your measures ensure the availability of the materials on hand for production?
  • How will you account for any wastage?
  • If the demand for a product increases suddenly, how will you account for the sudden need of materials?
