Max's Floral Shoppes is a three store retailer of fresh "Hawaiian" inspired floral arrangements serving the greater Santa Monica area. Max's has a central refrigerated warehouse where he stores exotic flowers shipped directly to him (by air) from his supplier in Maui Hawaii. The lead-time from order to receipt is 2 weeks. Max's order costs are $150 per order and his holding cost are 10% of the cost of a stem. Note that a "stem" is a single flower in an arrangement. Stems are ordered as individual units, but the order quantity needs to be a multiple of 6 -- each arrangement created by Max has 6 stems and the average cost per stem is $4. The grouping only occurs when the arrangements are created. Max then sells each arrangement for $65. Max's annual demand follows a normal distribution with a mean of 11,025 arrangements and a standard deviation of 550 arrangements. To maintain customer goodwill Max's has set a high service level objective of 98% in stock. Consider a year to have 52 weeks or 365 days.
