James Corporation produces bucket loader assemblies for the tractor industry. The product has a long-term life expectancy. Smith has decided to implement a JIT inventory system. Smith is deciding whether to use ABC Co. or XYZ Co. as the supplier. The following relevant information is available for analysis:

One time cost to rearrange the shop floor into manufacturing cells is $305,000

Monthly demand is 1,000 units.

Purchase orders from ABC will cost $7.50 each. Purchase orders from XYZ will cost $7.00 each.

ABC will charge $110 per unit. XYZ will charge $100 per unit.

ABC’s units will be inspected at a cost of 30 cents per unit.

Smith’s required annual rate of return is 5%.

Stock-out costs are expected to be $3.50 per unit for ABC and $3.00 per unit for XYZ.

Stock-out units are expected to be 5% of the order quantity for ABC and 5% for XYZ. These stockouts are anticipated to occur during each reorder period.

Other annual carrying costs are 1% of the unit purchase cost for ABC and for XYZ.
