Explanation / Answer

D requires - 410 units

Units present - 20

Units needed to be made - 390

D requires - 2 units of V

So V required= 2*390= 780

in hand 150

needed= 630

V requires 4 X and 3 Y

So X required= 4*630- In hand (345)= 2175

Y needed = 3*630- in hand(419) = 1471

Y requires 1 Z

So Z needed= Y needed – in hand (225)= 1246 (a)

(b) Release 1471 of Y as you can see in the calculations done

(c) D must be ready to pick up on week 7 (starting), and it takes 2 weeks to manufacture it, which means all the raw material should be ready by week 4 end (i.e. V). V has 1 week lead time, that means raw materials for V should be prepared on week 3 end (i.e. X and Y). Y has a lead time of 1 week, so the order for it should go on week 3 starting, or beginning of week 3

(d) Assuming there is not enough Z at starting of week 1, it takes 1 week for Z to arrive. It takes 1 week for Y and 2 for X without which V wont be made, so add another 2 weeks and total is 3 weeks. It takes 1 week for V to manufacture without which D wont be made, so that makes it 4 weeks. And another 2 weeks for D to manufacture, so in total it is 6 weeks.
