The forecast for each week of a four-week schedule is 50 units. The MPS rule is to schedule production if the projected on-hand Inventory would be negative without it. Customer orders (committed) are follows: Week Customer Order 1 52 35 20 12 Use a production lot size of 75 units and no beginning Inventory. Determine the available-to-promise (ATP) quantities for each period. Note: Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required. Period ATP 1 2 3
