Concept explainers
The BOMs for products A & B and data from the inventory records are shown in Figure 11.41. Data from the inventory records are shown in Table 11.10. In the MPS for product A, the MPS start row has 85 units in week 2 and 200 in week 4 and 50 in week 8. In the MPS for product B, the MPS start row has 65 units in week 3 and 50 in week 4 and 50 in week 5 and 75 in week 8.
- Develop the material requirements plan for the next 8 weeks for items C, D, and E. Note any difficulties you observe in the inventory records.

- A company produces skateboards. Each skateboard (A) consists of one unit of board (B), and two units of sub-assembly of roller-set (C). Roller-sets comprise of 2 components: 2 rollers (D) and one axle (E). The MPS is as follows: Week 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 A D 40 50 60 80 What are the planned order releases for item A? A has an on-hand inventory of 10, safety stock of 0. The lead time is 1 week and the ordering policy is Lot-for-Lot (L4L).arrow_forwardAs the production planner for Xiangling Hu Products, Inc., you have been given a bill of material for a bracket that is made up of a base, 2 springs, and 4 clamps. The base is assembled from 1 clamp and 2housings. Each clamp has 1 handle and 1 casting. Each housing has 2 bearings and 1 shaft. There is no inventory on hand. Your boss at Xiangling Hu Products, Inc., has just provided you with the schedule and lead times for the bracket. The unit is to be prepared in week 12.The lead times for the components are bracket (1 week), base (1 week), spring (1 week), clamp (1 week), housing (3weeks), handle (2weeks), casting (4weeks), bearing (1 week), and shaft (1 week). Part 3 b) In what week do you need to start the castings? The castings need to be started in week enter your response here (enter your response as a whole number).arrow_forwardAs the production planner for Xiangling Hu Products, Inc., you have been given a bill of material for a bracket that is made up of a base, 2 springs, and 4 clamps. The base is assembled from 2 clamps and 1 housing. Each clamp has 1handle and 1 casting. Each housing has 2 bearings and 2 shafts. There is no inventory on hand. c) Compute the net quantities needed if there are 25 of the base and 100 of the clamp in stock. Base: units (enter your response as a whole number).

- Product W requires components A, B, C, D, E and F. A unit of W requires 1 unit of A, 2 units of B and 4 units of C. A requires 2 units of D and 1 unit of E. B requires 2 units of E and 1 unit of F. C requires 3 units of D and 2 units of F. Draw the product structure tree. Determine the quantities of the required components for manufacturing 150 units of W.arrow_forwardMaster production schedule is a medium-range planning and it is used for quantity and timing of components and raw material Finished goods Both A & Barrow_forwardAs the production planner for Xiangling Hu Products, Inc., you have been given a bill of material for a bracket that is made up of a base, 2 springs, and 4 clamps.

- Product A is an end item and is made from two units of B and four of C. B is made ofthree units of D and two of E. C is made of two units of F and two of E.A has a lead time of one week. B, C, and E have lead times of two weeks, and D andF have lead times of three weeks.a. Show the bill-of-materials (product structure tree).b. If 100 units of A are required in Week 10, develop the MRP planning schedule, specifyingwhen items are to be ordered and received. There are currently no units of inventoryon hand.arrow_forwardq3arrow_forwardI understand that as per the calculations, the gross requirement for week 3 is 50 (25*2) (Item A's order releases), week 5 is 190 (20*2) + (150*1) (Item A's order releases + Item B's order releases), and week 6 is 300 (150*2) (Item A's order releases). But I want to know why do we do it that way because If I have a similar question do I always multiply item A's order release for week 3 by 2, week 5 (Item A's order releases x 2 + Item B's order releases x 1), and and week 6 (Item A's order releases x 2 ) I want to understand why we do that so I can anwser a similar question I don't understand why we do that have way just that you did it that wayarrow_forward
- The Alpha Beta Company produces two products; A and B, that are made from components C and D. Given the follow-ing product structures, master scheduling requirements, and inventory information, determine when orders shouldbe released for A, B, C, and D and the size of those orders.arrow_forwardConsider the bill of materials (BOM) shown to the right. Part 2 If inventory consists of 33 units of B, 11 unitunit of F, and 33 units of G, how many units of G, E, and D must be purchased to produce 55 units of product A? enter your response here unit(s) of item G, enter your response here units of item E, and enter your response here units of item D.
