(5 marks) 2 (a) The owner of bakery product shop has observed the following demand pattern for a particular brand of cakes.
Every morning he receives fresh cakes and places order for next day. The order quantity for next day is equal to the number of cakes the demanded on previous day. Assuming that the receives 30 cakes on first day and places order for 30 cakes for next day, simulate the system to determine -
a) Average number of cakes sold per day.
b) Probability of stock out on any day.
c) Average number of unsold cakes per day if he does not sell stale cakes.
d) Average profit per day if he earns profit of Rs.20 per cake and returns unsold cakes next morning with loss of Rs. 10.

(10 marks) 4 (a) The following table gives probability distribution of failures observed for a certain type of light bulbs:
There are 10,000 bulbs in use and it costs Rs.20 to replace an individual bulb which has burnt out at the end of the week. If all bulbs are replaced simultaneously it would cost Rs. 14 per bulb. It is proposed to replace all bulbs at fixed interval of time, irrespective of their status and to continue replacing burnt out bulbs at the end of every week. At what interval should all the bulbs be replaced? What is the average cost of replacement if all the bulbs are replaced as per individual replacement policy? What is the optimal replacement policy?
Week 1 2 3 4 5
% failed by the end of week 5 10 25 35 25
(10 marks) 4 (b) A TV manufacturing company has three production units and 4 main distribution centers. Cost of transporting one unit from each production unit to distribution centre is given in the matrix. The production capabilities of production units A, B and C are 60, 75 and 105 respectively and the requirements of distribution centres are 50, 65, 75 and 100 respectively. Determine the optimal distribution policy. Use VAM to find initial solution and MODI for finding optimal solution.
