You are expected to have the gift bags in Problem 14.1 ready at 5 P.M. However, you need to personalize the items (monogrammed pens, note pads, literature from the printer, etc.). The lead time is 1 hour to assemble 200 Js once the other items are prepared. The other items will take a while as well. Given the volunteers you have, the other time estimates are item K (2 hours), item L (1 hour), and item M (4 hours). Develop a time-phased assembly plan to prepare the gift bags.
• 14.1 You have developed the following simple product structure of items needed for your gift bag for a rush party for prospective pledges in your organization. You

- Kid’s World sells outdoor play equipment for children. Oneof its most popular items is a 5-foot by 7-foot wooden sand-box shown below. General assembly instructions follow.Assembly Instructions: The wood pieces for the sand-box are ordered precut and treated. Kid’s World sands thewood, drills several holes in each piece as required for as-sembly, and coats each piece with 2 ounces of water sealer.The sides are then assembled one corner at a time by at-taching a 1-foot wood strip cater-corner between a5-foot and 7-foot side. Four bolts are inserted through thepredrilled holes and secured with nuts. After the left andright corners of the sandbox have been assembled, the twopieces are joined in a similar manner to form the box as-sembly. A triangular-shaped wooden seat is attached toeach corner of the box assembly with four flat-headed nailsfor each seat. The sandbox is now complete.Construct a multilevel bill of material for the sandbox.arrow_forwardWhat method is used in the MRP process to ensure that all of the needs for a specific item are measured at the same time?arrow_forwardTed Short, manager of procurement at the Lake Luna Medical Center (LLMC), is starting a process to examine at the general process that is followed at his center for procurement of medical supplies at his facility. His first step is to develop a flowchart for the current process that employees at his center follow. He has asked you to draw that flowchart for him and make any obvious changes to shorten the process. Here are the key steps that are followed: The LLMC employee fills out a paper requisition and sends that to his department head for approval. The department secretary first examines the requisition to see if all needed information is present. If it is, then she sends to the department head for approval. If not, she returns to the employee for any needed corrections. The employee then returns the requisition to the department secretary for review again. Requisitions with the correct information are sent to the department head. The department head reviews the item to determine…arrow_forward
