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.

The Clothing Shack is an online retailer of men's, women's, and children's clothing. The company has been in business for four years and makes a modest profit from its online sales. However, in an effort to compete successfully against online retailing heavyweights, the Clothing Shack's marketing director, Makaya O'Neil, has determined that the Clothing Shack's marketing information systems need improvement. Ms. O'Neil feels that the Clothing Shack should begin sending out catalogs to its customers, keep better track of its customer's buying habits, perform target marketing, and provide a more personalized shopping experience for its customers. Several months ago, Ms. O'Neil submitted a systems service request (SSR) to the Clothing Shack's steering committee. The committee unanimously approved this project. You were assigned to the project at that time and have since helped your project team successfully complete the project initiation and planning phase. Your team is now ready to move…

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
