is Help Help S The following table lists the components need to assemble an end item, lead times (in weeks), and quantties on hand Amount (2), C(1), K(3) B (2), J(3) G (2), B(2) H (4), B (2) End 10 15 20 28 31 o. If 43 units of the end item are to be assembled, how many additional units of B are needed? (Hint You don't need to develop an MRP plan) Additional units b. An order for the end item is scheduled to be shipped at the start of week 8. What is the latest week that the order can be started and still be ready to ship on time? (Hint You don't need to develop an MRP plan) The latest week - Prev 2 of 3 Next >Explanation / Answer
A. Components of the end product
2L+C+3K
2(2B+3J)+2G+2B+3(4H+2B)
4B+6J+2G+2B+12H+6B
Total B items needed per unit =12
Total B units needed = 12x43 = 516
B units Already in hand =28
Units needed =516-28 =488
And 2
For shipping in week 8, we need to produce the end product in week 7.
We need 2L, 1C and 3K in week 7.
We need to produce L in week 6, C in week 5 and K in week 5.
We need B and J in week 6, G and B in week 5, H and B in week 5.
We need to produce J in week 4, H in week 3 and H in week 2.
Hence the start can be delayed up to week 2.
