You are expected to have the gift bags in Problem 14.1 ready at 5 P.M. However, you need to personalize the items (monogrammed pens, note pads, literature from the printer, etc.). The lead time is 1 hour to assemble 200 Js once the other items are prepared. The other items will take a while as well. Given the volunteers you have, the other time estimates are item K (2 hours), item L (1 hour), and item M (4 hours). Develop a time-phased assembly plan to prepare the gift bags.

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.
