Lead time demand = d * L = 420 units
Std. Deviation = = 44 units
a) Reorder point = 442 units
Reorder point = Lead time demand + Z * Std. Deviation
442 = 420 + Z * 44
Z = 0.5
For Z = 0.5, Service level = 69.14%
b) For Service level of 97%, Z value = 1.88
Reorder point = Lead time demand + Z * Std. Deviation = 420 + 1.88 * 44 = 502.72 = 503 units
