pter 12 Help Problem 12-2 The following table lists the components needed to assemble an end item, lead times, and quantities on hand. ints tem LT (wk) End BCDEFGH 23 9 28 0 End ham a. If 22 units of the end item are to be assembled, how many additional units of E are needed? (Hint You don't need to develop an MRP plan to determine this.) References Additional units b. An order for the end item is scheduled to be shipped at the start of week t4. What is the latest week that the order can be started and stili be ready to ship on time? Hint You don't need to develop an MRP piah for this part either) The latest week Reference linksExplanation / Answer
a.For manufacturing 22 units of end units
we need B= 22x2 = 44 units, but we already have 8 on hand so we need, B= 44-8 =36 units
C = 22 units, but we already have 11 units, so we need 22-11 = 11 units
D = 22x3 = 66 units but we already have 23 units so we need 66-23 = 43 units
For 36B+11C+ 43D units we need 72+22+86 units of E = 180
We already have 9 unit of E so we need 180-9 =171 units.
b. For shipping end item in 14 th week, we need to start manufacturing it in 12th week
we need 2B+C+3D in week 12, so we need to order them in week 10.
We need E,F,G,H in week 10 so we need to order them in week 8.
Hence the latest week to start the work is week 8.
