The part B solution spreadsheet starts with time period 2 and period 1 is now history. For the part B, you must capture all of the events that occurred during week 1. For example, I gave you that the beginning PAB is 45. If you had 20 in stock (from part A), you produced 50 as planned in period 1, and the actual demand for period 1 was 25, then the beginning PAB (your stock quantity) is 20+50-25=45. The forecast and MPS quantities will not change from part A to part B. After you accept each of the orders (simply add the new order quantities to the existing customer order quantities in the correct time bucket), you will then recalculate the PAB, and then recalculate the ATP.

Problem 6 Part A:
Available to promise in period 4 = 50

Problem 6 Part B:
PAB in period 7 = 35

In part A, the only thing that you need to do is to calculate the ATP in periods 1,4,5, and 7.

In part B, remember that you are rolling through time. The part B solution spreadsheet starts with time period 2 and period 1 is now history. For the part B, you must capture all of the events that occurred during week 1. For example, I gave you that the beginning PAB is 45. If you had 20 in stock (from part A), you produced 50 as planned in period 1, and the actual demand for period 1 was 25, then the beginning PAB (your stock quantity) is 20+50-25=45. The forecast and MPS quantities will not change from part A to part B. After you accept each of the orders (simply add the new order quantities to the existing customer order quantities in the correct time bucket), you will then recalculate the PAB, and then recalculate the ATP.
