At what point in the projectwould the problems likely emerge?5. Should Sarah have presented the requirements to the ordering manager at this point? Should the orderingmanager have signed off on them?arrow_forwardSuppose we are formulating a Master Production Schedule (MPS) for an item. Week O projected on- hand is 83 units.

- Best-Appliance makes high-powered industrial strength microwave oven and wants to create an MRP for their oven assembly with a minimum cost possible. Following table show gross requirements of their product for twelve weeks. Develop a Part Period Balancing (PPB) solution and calculate the total relevant costs for the plan. Week Gross requirements 1 30 Week Gross requirements On-hand at beginning of week 40 On-hand at end of week Order receipt Order release Total relevant cost for this plan is = $ 2 3 30 1 30 4 2 5 40 70 20 Also, for this plan the Holding cost = $2.50/unit/week; setup cost = $200; lead time = 1 week; beginning inventory = 40 units.
