As the production planner for Xiangling HuProducts, Inc., you have been given a bill of material fora bracket that is made up of a base, two springs, and fourclamps. The base is assembled from one clamp and twohousings. Each clamp has one handle and one casting. Eachhousing has two bearings and one shaft. There is no inventoryon hand. a) Design a product structure noting the quantities for eachitem and show the low-level coding.b) Determine the gross quantities needed of each item if youare to assemble 50 brackets.c) Compute the net quantities needed if there are 25 of thebase and 100 of the clamp in stock.
The Build-Em-Fast Company has agreed to supply its best customer with three widgets during each of the next 3 weeks, even though producing them will require some overtime work. The relevant production data are as follows: Week Maximum Production, Regular Time Maximum Production, Overtime Production Cost per Unit, Regular Time 1 2 2 $300 2 3 2 $500 3 1 2 $400 The cost per unit produced with overtime for each week is $100 more than for regular time. The cost of storage is $50 per unit for each week it is stored. There is already an inventory of two widgets on hand currently, but the company does not want to retain any widgets in inventory after the 3 weeks. Management wants to know how many units should be produced in each week to minimize the total cost of meeting the delivery schedule. Formulate this problem as a transportation problem by constructing the appropriate parameter table.
As the production planner for Xiangling Hu Products, Inc., you have been given a bill of material for a bracket that is made up of a base, 2 springs, and 4 clamps. The base is assembled from 1 clamp and 2 housings. Each clamp has 1 handle and 1 casting. Each housing has 2 bearings and 1 shaft. There is no inventory on hand. A. Design a product structure noting the quantities for each item and show the low-level coding. B. Determine the gross quantities needed of each item if you are to assemble 50 brackets. C. Compute the net quantities if there are 25 of the base and 100 of the clamp in stock.

A standing desk consists of a desk top, four legs, and two adjustment motors. Each leg fastens to the desk top with one fastener set. Each adjustment motor requires two fastener sets for attachment to the legs. Currently there is one order outstanding, to make 180 standing desks. There are 500 legs and 20 desk tops in inventory. There are no other large items in inventory, and no scheduled receipts.(a) Draw the product structure tree.(b) Calculate the net requirements to fulfill the outstanding order.

Consider the following product structure (bill of material). One hundred and fifty (150) units of Product A are needed in week 10. Assuming no on-hand inventory of A exists, explode the bill of material, and use the following information to construct a net requirements plan for all the items. You must use the template provided by the instructor and provide all the information needed on the template. There are no scheduled receipts for all the items.

Product A is assembled from two units of S1 and threeunits of S2. S1 is made of one unit of C1, four units of C2,and one unit of C3. S2 is made of three units of C2 and twounits of C3.a. Draw a product structure diagram for product A.b. How many C3’s are needed to fill an order for 100 A’s?c. Assume no inventory on hand, products take one day toassemble, subassemblies take two days and components take three days. When should an order be released for C3 if the 100 A’s are needed by day 7?
