Question

The Noname Computer Company builds a computer designated model ICU2. It imports the motherboard of the computer from Taiwan, but the company inserts the sockets for the chips and boards in its plant in Lubbock, Texas. Each computer requires a total of ninety 64K dynamic random access memory (DRAM) chips. Noname sells the computers with three add-in boards and two disk drives. The company purchases both the DRAM chips and the disk drives from an outside supplier.

Suppose that the forecasted demands for the computer for weeks 6 to 11 are 220, 165, 180, 180, 175, and 250. The starting inventory of assembled computers in week 6 will be 75, and the production manager anticipates returns of 30 in week 8 and 10 in week 10. The product structure diagram for the ICU2 computer is given in the Figure below.

Determine the MPS for the computers.
Determine the planned order release for the motherboards assuming a lot-for lot scheduling rule.
Determine the schedule of outside orders for the disk drives.
