Concept explainers
a)
To design: A product structure with the quantities of each item and the low-level coding.
Introduction:
Product structure:
The product structure is the representation of the given product information as a graphic image. The graphic image will clearly depict the parents and children and the quantities required of each item.
Low-level coding:
It is the lowest position at which a material can appear in a BOM structure. It will represent the sequence through which the items are moved through the plan. The requirement of the preceding level must be determined before the requirement of the next level.
b)
To determine: The gross quantities of each component to assemble 50 brackets.
Introduction:
Gross quantity:
The gross quantity is calculated by identifying the required number of intermediate products to develop the final product. It does not take into account of any on-hand stock of any components needed for the product.
c)
To determine: The net quantities of each component to assemble 50 brackets.
Introduction:
Net quantity:
The net quantity is calculated by identifying the required number of intermediate products to develop the final product after taking into account of the inventory of existing items.

- 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.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.

- Product A consists of subassemblies B and C. Subassembly B requires two parts of D and one part of E.Subassembly C requires one part of D and one part of F. a. Draw a product structure tree (BOM) for this product. b. How many parts are needed to make 300 units of finished product?arrow_forwardConsider 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.

- You have developed the following simple product structure of items needed for your gift bag for a rush party for perspective pledges in your organization. You forecast 200 atendees. You are expected to have the gift bags ready at 5 pm. However, you need to personalize the items. The lead time is 1 hour to assemble 20” 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 ( 1 hour), item L (1 hour), and item M (3 hours). Develop a time-phased assembly plan to prepare the gift bagsarrow_forwardRefer to the bill of materials for product A shown in Figure 11.23.
