Question
Chapter 8, Problem 41AP
Summary Introduction
Interpretation: The gross requirement
Concept Introduction:
The gross requirement schedule can be defined as the summation of the dependent and independent demand of the component before the total of the on-hand inventory and schedule receipts
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 41AP
The gross requirement of MPS −
| Week | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 |
| MPS | 12 | 12 | 8 | 10 | 10 | 3 | 22 | 14 | 18 | 6 | |||
| Gross requirement of processor | 12 | 12 | 8 | 10 | 10 | 3 | 22 | 14 | 18 | 6 | |||
| Gross requirement of solar cell | 48 | 48 | 32 | 40 | 40 | 12 | 88 | 56 | 72 | 24 | |||
| Gross requirement of LCD | 12 | 12 | 8 | 10 | 10 | 3 | 22 | 14 | 18 | 6 | |||
| Gross requirement of button | 480 | 480 | 320 | 400 | 400 | 120 | 880 | 560 | 720 | 240 |
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 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 |
| MPS | 1200 | 1200 | 800 | 1000 | 1000 | 300 | 2200 | 1400 | 1800 | 600 |
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 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 |
| MPS | 12 | 12 | 8 | 10 | 10 | 3 | 22 | 14 | 18 | 6 | |||
| Gross requirement of processor | 12 | 12 | 8 | 10 | 10 | 3 | 22 | 14 | 18 | 6 | |||
| Gross requirement of solar cell | 48 | 48 | 32 | 40 | 40 | 12 | 88 | 56 | 72 | 24 | |||
| Gross requirement of LCD | 12 | 12 | 8 | 10 | 10 | 3 | 22 | 14 | 18 | 6 | |||
| Gross requirement of button | 480 | 480 | 320 | 400 | 400 | 120 | 880 | 560 | 720 | 240 |
Hence, the gross requirement schedule is determined which will be used to determine the net requirement and planned order release of each component.

Government's new plan to shift cargo from roads back to rail
26TH JANUARY 2024
Government is seeking to finalise a plan aimed at improving its rail network and move cargo away from a billion rand per day to its logistics crises, government has said an urgentturnaround is needed to improve its 31 000km locomotive network as more and more cargo moves from rail to trucks.
The Department of Transport (DoT) hosted a discussion with industry stakeholders regarding the Freight Road to Rail Migration Plan on Thursday - the latest development in the wake of President Cyril Ramphosa forming the National Logistics Crisis Committee last year.
Transnet, the South African National Roads Agency (Sanral) and private sector companies were all in attendance.
The Freight Road to Rail Migration Plan is part of government's strategies to improve the country's ongoing logistics crises. In October last year, the government unveiled its Freight Logistics Roadmap to improve the ports and rail networks and…
