Introduction:
Product structure:
The product structure is a visual representation of the components needed for a product assembly and the sequence at which they must be developed. It will clearly depict the parents and children components at each level.
b)
To construct: A time-phased product structure.
Introduction:
Time-phased product structure:
The time-phased product structure will represent the product and the associated components visually with the details of the time at when each component must begin production. It is done to ensure that all the components are developed on time.
c)
To develop: A net requirements plan.
Introduction:
Net requirements plan:

- Discuss the challenges of inventory control.arrow_forwardDemand for stereo headphones and MP3 players for joggers has caused Nina Industries to grow almost 50 percent over the past year. The number of joggers continues to expand, so Nina expects demand for headsets to also expand, because, as yet, no safety laws have been passed to prevent joggers from wearing them. Demand for the players for last year was as follows: MONTH DEMAND (UNITS) January 4,120 February 4,220 March 3,920 April 4,320 May 4,920 June 4,620 July 5,220 August 4,820 September 5,320 October 5,620 November 6,220 December 5,920 a. Using linear regression analysis, what would you estimate demand to be for each month next year? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) b. To be reasonably confident of meeting demand, Nina decides to use 3 standard errors of estimate for safety. How many additional units should be held to meet this level of confidence?
