Using the images below, please answer the following two questions, completing the tables with explanations. I need to check my work. Thanks!

1. Regional distributors are currently using continuous review inventory policy. Compute and describe their inventory management policy and associated cost. Ignore inbound and outbound transportation cost. Provide answers and calculations for order quantity, demand during lead time, safety stock, average inventory level, inventory holding cost per week, ordering cost per week, and total cost per week.

Current Distribution Strategy (as shown in Figure 1a)

	Quantity	Ddlt	SS	Avg Inv	Inv cost	Ord Cost	Tot Cost
Atlanta
Boston
Chicago
Dallas
LA
	Total cost of the distribution system

2. Suppose five regional warehouses are replaced by single, centralized warehouse as shown in figure 1b.

a. Assuming that warehouse is using continuous review inventory policy, compute and describe its inventory management policy and associated cost. Ignore inbound and outbound transportation cost. Provide answers and calculations for order quantity, demand during lead time, safety stock, average inventory level, inventory holding cost per week, ordering cost per week, and total cost per week.

b. Compare ordering, holding, and total cost of maintaining a single, centralized warehouse versus maintaining five regional warehouses. Has cost increased or decreased? Will you always observe similar results? Explain.

	Quantity	Ddlt	SS	Avg Inv	Inv cost	Ord Cost	Tot Cost
Central Warehouse
	Total cost of the distribution system1b
	Total cost of the distribution system1a
	Change in the cost

Comment on the comparison?
