Concept explainers
Oh No!, Inc., sells three models of radar detector units. It buys the three basic models (E, F, and G) from a Japanese manufacturer and adds one, two, or four lights (component D) to further differentiate the models D is bought from a domestic producer.
Lead times are one week for all items except C, which is two weeks. There are ample supplies of the basic units (E, F, and G) on hand. There are also 10 units of B, 10 units of C, and 25 units of D on hand. Lot-sizing rules are lot-for-lot ordering for all items except D, which must he ordering in multiples of 100 units. There is a scheduled receipt of 100 units of D in week 1.

- Can someone help me to calculate the lead time for Supplier A? Supplier A: has 2 days to review the order and schedule the order, 5 days to manufacture the order, 1 day to pick up and pack the order, with an Ocean transit time of 12, 3 days to clear customs, and 1 day of inland transport from port to buyer's facility. Thanks!arrow_forwardPrepare a master schedule based on the following information: Week 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Forecast 500 500 600 600 750 750 900 800 Orders 540 470 325 200 105 45 10 0 Currently there are 700 units in inventory. Policy calls for a fixed order quantity of 1250 units. Can you receive another order for 250 items in week 1? Why? How many orders can be received in each period without altering the plan. If there are 1250 items in stock, what would be the answer of questions 2 and 3?arrow_forwardThe Alpha Beta Company produces two products; A and B, that are made from components C and D. Given the follow-ing product structures, master scheduling requirements, and inventory information, determine when orders shouldbe released for A, B, C, and D and the size of those orders.arrow_forward
- Given the bill of material and the on-hand quantities below, compute the net requirements for each item. The gross requirement for A is 150 units. Summarize your solution in a table. Item On-Hand Inventory A 40 B 50 C 100 D 70 E 25arrow_forwardUpton Enterprises produces a variety of switches. Below, you will find a bill-of-material file for their simplest switch: Part A. The number in the parentheses represents the number of units required for the upper level. LT stands for the lead time, measured in weeks.Assuming that Upton Enterprises has none of Switch A in inventory, and the inventory levels of Parts B, C, D, E, and F are also zero, how many weeks would it take to produce 100 units of Switch A? What would be the total requirement for part E?arrow_forwardAs 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\ 1 housing. Each clamp has 1 handle and 2 castings.Each housing has 1 bearing and 2 shafts.There is no inventory on hand. C) Compute the net quantities needed if there are 25 of the base and 75 of the clamp in stock. (Product structure picture attached) Base = (?) units Spring = (?) units Clamp = (?) units Housing = (?) units Handle = (?) units Casting = (?) units Bearing = (?) units Shaft = (?) unitsarrow_forward
- The unit cost for Item #10286 has increased from $90.00 to $120.00. Howdoes this impact the ABC analysis?arrow_forward. MBPF Inc. manufactures prefabricated garages. The manufacturing facility purchases sheet metal that is formed and assembled into finished products—garages. Each garage needs a roof and a base, and both components are punched out of separate metal sheets prior to assembly. Production and demand data for the past eight weeks are shown in Table below. Observe that both production and demand vary from week to week. Now, track the inventory at the end of each week, measured in number of finished garages. Also, construct the inventory build-up diagram. MBPF Inc. manufactures prefabricated garages.

- Audio Products, Inc. produces two AM/FM/CD players for cars. The radio/CD units are identical, but the mounting hardware and finish trim differ. The standard model fits intermediate and full-size cars, and the sports model fits small sports cars. Audio Products handles the production in the following way. The chassis (radio/CD unit) is assembled in Mexico and has a manufacturing lead time of two weeks. The mounting hardware is purchased from a sheet steel company and has a three-week lead time. The finish trim is purchased from a Taiwan electronics company with offices in Los Angeles as prepackaged units consisting of knobs and various trim pieces. Trim packages have a two week lead time. Final assembly time may be disregarded because adding the trim package and mounting are performed by the customer. Audio Products supplies wholesalers and retailers, who place specific orders for both models up to eight weeks in advance. These orders, together with enough additional units to satisfy…arrow_forwardSelect the correct answer(s) for each item. If NONE or MORE THAN ONE of the choices is the correct answer, choose E.arrow_forwardDevelop a production schedule to produce the exact production requirements by varying the workforce size for the following problem. 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 on January, 19 in February, and 21 in March. The beginning inventory is 500 units.Manufacturing cost is $200 per unit, storage cost is $3 per unit per month, standard pay rate is $6 per hour, overtime rate is $9 per hour, cost of stock out 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 8 hours per day.arrow_forward
