The Old Hickory Furniture Company manufactures chairs on the basis of the BOM shown below. At the present time, the inventories of parts and lead times are as follows: Chairs Leg assembly Back assembly Seat Rails Legs Top Spindles Chair Leg assembly Rails Back assembly Legs Top On Hand 100 50 25 40 100 150 30 80 Seat Spindles Weeks of Lead Time 1 2 1 3 1 1 2 2 The firm would like to produce 600 chairs in week 5 and 300 chairs in week 6. a. Develop a materials plan for all the parts using L4L. b. What actions should be taken now? c. Assume it takes one hour to assemble backs, one hour to assemble legs, and two hours to finish completed chairs. Total assembly time for all three types of assembly is limited to 1000 hours per week. Will this capacity constraint cause a bottleneck in assembly? If it does, what can be done?

(i) A business manager determines that t months after production begins on a new product,the number of units produced will be P thousand, where P(t) =6?2 + 5?(? + 1)2.What happens to production in the long run ?(ii) A ruptured pipe in a North Sea oil rig produces a circular oil slick that is y meters thick at adistance x meters from the rupture. Turbulence makes it difficult to directly measure thethickness of the slick at the source (where x = 0), but for x > 0, it is found thaty =0.5(x2 + 3x)x3 + x2 + 4x . Assuming the oil slick is continuously distributed, howthick would you expect it to be at the source?
