An end item’s demand
- Develop an MPS for this end item.
- The marketing department has received five orders for this item in the following sequence:
Order 1 is for 20 units to be delivered in period 1.
Order 2 is for 75 units to be delivered in period 4.
Order 3 is for 90 units to be delivered in period 6.
Order 4 is for 75 units to be delivered in period 7.
Order 5 is for 90 units to be delivered in period 10.
Assuming that the prospective MPS you developed in part (a) does not change, which orders would you be able to accept based on the available to promise (ATP)?

- If the forecasted demand for the end item is the same each period, will the EOQformula result in optimal lot sizing at each level of the product structure?Explainarrow_forwardCourtney Kamauf schedules production of a popular Rustic Coffee Table at Kamauf Enterprises, Inc. The tablerequires a top, four legs, 18 gallon of stain, 116 gallon of glue, 2 shortbraces between the legs and 2 long braces between the legs, anda brass cap that goes on the bottom of each leg. She has 100 gallons of glue in inventory, but none of the other components. Allitems except the brass caps, stain, and glue are ordered on a lotfor-lot basis. The caps are purchased in quantities of 1,000, stainand glue by the gallon. Lead time is 1 day for each item. Schedulethe order releases necessary to produce 640 coffee tables on days5 and 6, and 128 on days 7 and 8.arrow_forwardA linear programming computer package is needed. Greenville Cabinets received a contract to produce cabinets for a major furniture distributor. The contract calls for the production of 3,300 small cabinets and 4,100 large over the next two months, with the following delivery schedule Model Month 1 Month 2 Small 2,100 1,200 Large 1,500 2,600 Greenville estimates that the production time for each small cabinet is 0.7 hours and the production time for each large cabinet is 1 hour. The raw material costs are $10 for each small cabinet and $12 for each large cabinet. Labor costs are $22 per hour using regular production time and $33 using overtime. Greenville has up to 2,400 hours of regular production time available each month and up to 1,000 additional hours of overtime available each month. If production for either cabinet exceeds demand in month 1, the cabinets can be stored at a cost of $5 per cabinet. For each product, determine the number of units that should be…arrow_forward
- The opening backlog is 800 units. Forecast demand is as shown here. Calculate theweekly production for level production if the backlog is to be reduced to 100 units.arrow_forwardPrepare a Master Schedule like that shown in Figure 11.11 given the following information:The forecast for each week of an eight-week schedule is 50 units. The MPS tule is to schedule production if the projected on-hand inventory would be negative without it. Customer orders (committed) are as follows:Week 1.2.3.4Customer Orders 52.35.20.12Use a production lot size of 75 units and no beginning inventory.arrow_forwardDevelop a production schedule to produce the exact production requirements by varying the workforce size for the following problem. Also, evaluate the cost of the schedule. Use the example in the chapter as a guide (Plan 1). The monthly forecasts for Product X for January, February, and March are 1,000, 1,500, and 1,200, respectively. Safety stock policy recommends that half of the forecast for that month be defined as safety stock. There are 22 working days in January, 19 in February, and 21 in March. Beginning inventory is 500 units. Manufacturing cost is $200 per unit, storage cost is $3 per unit per month (based on expected end-of-month levels), standard pay rate is $6 per hour, overtime rate is $9 per hour, cost of backorder is $10 per unit per month, marginal cost of subcontracting is $10 per unit, hiring and training cost is $200 per worker, layoff cost is $300 per worker, and worker productivity is 0.1 unit per hour. Assume that you start off with 50 workers and that they work…arrow_forward
