4 CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GRAPHS OF WEEK-BY-WEEK ORDERS AND INVENTORY  Oscillation “Peaks” and “Valleys”  Amplification of Orders Placed As R  W  D  F, there are higher and higher peaks and lower and lower valleys.  Phase Lag As R  W  D  F, the start of an increase to a peak or a decrease to a valley occurs later and later.

5 A FINANCIAL NEWS REPORT “On Wall Street today, news of lower interest rates sent the stock market up, but then the expectation that these rates would be inflationary sent the market down, until the realization that lower rates might stimulate the sluggish economy pushed the market up, before it ultimately went down on fears that an overheated economy would lead to a reimposition of higher interest rates.” From a cartoon by Mankoff (October 12, 1981).

11 1-for-1 Ordering (Order Placed) = (Incoming Order)

12 A “Scientific” Policy For R,W,D: (Order Placed) = 16–(Inventory)+(Backlog)–(Undelivered Orders) For F: (Order Placed) = 12–(Inventory)+(Backlog)–(Undelivered Orders) (NOTE: If above quantity is < 0, then reset Order Placed to 0.)
