Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The lead time of four solar cells = 1 week

The lead time of one LCD = 1 week

The lead time of forty buttons = 2 weeks

The lead time of one processor = 3 weeks

The MPS of the product from week 8 to week 17 is given as −

    Week 891011121314151617
    MPS 1200120080010001000300220014001800600

The following method will be used to determine the gross requirement of the component processor −

  • The multiplication of the production of CL by one will result in gross requirement of processor.
  • The gross requirement will be phased back by three periods.

The following method will be used to determine the gross requirement of the component solar cell −

  • The multiplication of the production of CL by four will result in gross requirement of solar cell.
  • The gross requirement will be phased back by one period.

The following method will be used to be calculate the gross requirement of component LCD −

  • The multiplication of the production of CL by one will result in gross requirement of LCD.
  • The gross requirement will be phased back by one period.

The following method will be used to be calculate the gross requirement of component button −

  • The multiplication of the production of CL by forty will result in gross requirement of button.
  • The gross requirement will be phased back by two periods.

Now, the gross requirement of MPS can be given as −

    Week 567891011121314151617
    MPS12128101032214186
    Gross requirement of processor12128101032214186
    Gross requirement of solar cell48483240401288567224
    Gross requirement of LCD12128101032214186
    Gross requirement of button 480480320400400120880560720240

Hence, the gross requirement schedule is determined which will be used to determine the net requirement and planned order release of each component.
