- Prepare a master schedule given this information: It is now the end of week 1; customer orders are 25 for week 2, 16 for week 3, 11 for week 4, 8 for week 5, and 3 for week 6. Use the MPS rule of ordering production when projected on-hand inventory would be negative without production. Suppose that there were 64 pumps in inventory at the beginning of week 1. A production lot size of 70 pumps is used. (Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required.)arrow_forwardAssume that you are the manager of Assembly, Inc.

Find the planned-order releases for all itemsarrow_forwardecently, Phil Harris, the production control manager at Brunswick, read an article on time-phased requirements planning. He was curious about how this technique might work in scheduling Brunswick's engine assembly operations and decided to prepare an example to illustrate the use of time-phased requirements planning. Phil's first step was to prepare a master schedule for one of the engine types produced by Brunswick: the Model 1000 engine. This schedule indicates the number of units of the Model 1000 engine to be assembled each week during the last 12 weeks and is shown on the next page. Next, Phil decided to simplify his requirements planning example by considering only two of the many components that are needed to complete the assembly of the Model 1000 engine. These two components, the gear box and the input shaft, are shown in the product structure diagram below. Phil noted that the gear box is assembled by the Subassembly Department and subsequently is sent to the main engine…arrow_forwardMontague Composite makes a unit A, which consists of two units of B, three units of C, and four units of D. C is composed of three units of D and two units of E. Items A, C, D and E have on-hand inventories of 10, 20, 30 and 40 units respectively. Item B has a scheduled receipt of 50 units in period 1, and C has a scheduled receipt of 90 units in period 1. Lot-for-lot sizing is used for items A and B. Item C requires a minimum lot size of 60 units. D and E must be purchased in multiples of 35 and 55 respectively. Lead times are one period for items A, B and C, and two periods for items D and E. The gross requirements for A are 180 in period 5, and 220 in period 8. Determine the planned-order releases for all items using template 2 (provided at the end of the paper)arrow_forward
- Eighty units of end item E are needed at the beginning of week 6. Three cases (30 units per case) of Jhave been ordered and one case is scheduled to arrive in week 3, one in week 4, and one in week 5.Note: J must be ordered by the case, and B must be produced in multiples of 120 units. There are 60 unitsof B and 20 units of J now on hand. Lead times are two weeks each for E and B, and one week for J.E a. Prepare a material requirements plan for component J.b. Suppose that in week 4 the quantity of E needed is changed from 80 to 70. The planned-order releasesthrough week 3 have all been executed. How many more Bs and Js will be on hand in week 6?arrow_forwardMaster production schedule is a medium-range planning and it is used for quantity and timing of components and raw material Finished goods Both A & Barrow_forwardOne unit of A is made of three units of B, one unit of C, and two units of D.
