2. After building a scientific way for demand forecasting, Mary hoped Jason can propose the optimal inventory/ordering policies for these 4 products for the first week of 2018. The sale price/unit for each product is listed below:

Product A =$230 Product B=$50 Product C=$5 Product D=$3

Jason decided to use ABC rule to classify these 4 products. ‘A’ category product(s) will have the target service level 95%. ‘B’ product(s) will have the target service level 90% and ‘C’ products(s) will have the target service level 85%. After setting the appropriate service level, Jason will use the service level information to calculate the safety stock level for each product. How should Jason classify the ABC products? After classifying these 4 products, Jason wanted to use the ROP model for inventory/ordering management. He believed he would get an accurate demand forecasting for the first week of 2018. But based on the historical data, he found the lead time of orders has variation for all these 4 products. Which ROP model should Jason implement? What are the reorder points for each of these 4 products for the first week of 2018?

Below is the sales of each product of 2017

    Therefore, for this program you will read the data in the file named weatherdata_2.txt into arrays for the wind speed and for the temperature. You will then use the stored data to calculate and output the average wind speed and the average temperature. Create a constant with a value of 30 and use that to declare and loop through your arrays and as a divisor to produce your averages. Here is the data file (below). 1. 14 25 2. 12...
