Recently, Mr. Thakkar of WW attended a training programme on SCM arranged by a local
business school, which delat with inventory systems and materials management. Thakkar was
anxious to save WW money by applying the techniques he learned in the class. When Jayanta
contacted Thakkar he was amazed to learn that he wished to purchase the largest lot size of the
for-part billing form. It was 30000 forms at Rs. 1750. Jayanta could not the sudden change in
policy. Upon questioning Thakkar, he found that he used a quantitative model by which the cost of
inventory holding and the ordering costs can be balanced, yet maintaining adequate office
supplies. Thakkar explained that by analyzing all the relevant variable costs, he could save
substantially by purchasing the large quantity of pre-printed billing forms.
Questions:
(a) Explain the rationale of Mr. Thakkar of buying in large quantity.
(b) What is the annual cost saving of the larger order?
