Develop material requirement planning for scissors:

Operations Management, Chapter 12, Problem 14P , additional homework tip  4

  • It is given that 600 pairs of scissors are needed on day 6.
  • Beginning inventory is 0 units.
  • Net requirement can be calculated by subtracting the projected on-hand from the gross requirement. Hence, the net requirement is 600 units in week 6 (600-0).
  • Planned order release is the order given by the company and planned order receipts is the order received by the firm.
  • Lead-time is given as 1 week. Company requires 600 units in the beginning of Week 6. Hence, they need to order for 600 units (as the lot size is lot-for-lot) on previous week (as the lead-time is 1 week). Thus, company need to order the required units in week 5.

Develop material requirement planning for bottom blade assembly:

Operations Management, Chapter 12, Problem 14P , additional homework tip  5

  • Scissor is the parent for bottom blade assembly. Hence, the planned order release of the scissor would be the gross requirement of the bottom blade assembly. As number of units required is 1 for bottom blade assembly, the planned order release row of scissor should be multiplied with 1 to attain the gross requirement column of bottom blade assembly.
  • Beginning inventory is 0 units.
  • Net requirement can be calculated by subtracting the projected on-hand from the gross requirement. Hence, the net requirement is 600 units in week 5(600-0).
  • Planned order release is the order given by the company and planned order receipts is the order received by the firm.
  • Lead-time is given as 1 week. Company requires 600 units in the beginning of Week 5. Hence, they need to order for 600 units (as the lot size is lot-for-lot) on previous week (as the lead-time is 1 week). Thus, company need to order the required units in week 4.

Develop material requirement planning for top blade assembly:

Operations Management, Chapter 12, Problem 14P , additional homework tip  6

  • Scissor is the parent for top blade assembly. Hence, the planned order release of the scissor would be the gross requirement of the top blade assembly. As number of units required is 1 for top blade assembly, the planned order release row of scissor should be multiplied with 1 to attain the gross requirement column of top blade assembly.
  • Beginning inventory is 40 units.
  • Net requirement can be calculated by subtracting the projected on-hand from the gross requirement. Hence, the net requirement is 560 units in week 5 (600-40).
  • Planned order release is the order given by the company and planned order receipts is the order received by the firm.
  • Lead-time is given as 1 week. Company requires 560 units in the beginning of Week 5. Hence, they need to order for 560 units (as the lot size is lot-for-lot) on previous week (as the lead-time is 1 week). Thus, company need to order the required units in week 4.
  • Projected on hand inventory for week 6 is 0 units. Calculation is as follows:

Projected on hand for Week 6={(Projected on-hand+Planned order receiptGross requirement)+Scheduled receipt}=(40+560600)+0=0

Develop material requirement planning for screw:

Operations Management, Chapter 12, Problem 14P , additional homework tip  7

  • Scissor is the parent for screw. Hence, the planned order release of the scissor would be the gross requirement of the screw. As number of units required is 1 for screw, the planned order release row of scissor should be multiplied with 1 to attain the gross requirement column of screw.
  • Beginning inventory is 0 units.
  • Net requirement can be calculated by subtracting the projected on-hand from the gross requirement. Hence, the net requirement is 600 units in week 5 (600-0).
  • Planned order release is the order given by the company and planned order receipts is the order received by the firm.
  • Lead-time is given as 1 week. Company requires 600 units in the beginning of Week 5. Hence, they need to order for 600 units (as the lot size is lot-for-lot) on previous week (as the lead-time is 1 week). Thus, company need to order the required units in week 4.

Develop material requirement planning for straight blade:

Operations Management, Chapter 12, Problem 14P , additional homework tip  8

  • Bottom blade assembly is the parent for straight blade. Hence, the planned order release of the bottom blade assembly would be the gross requirement of the straight blade. As number of units required is 1 for straight blade, the planned order release row of bottom blade assembly should be multiplied with 1 to attain the gross requirement column of straight blade.
  • Beginning inventory is 200 units.
  • Net requirement can be calculated by subtracting the projected on-hand from the gross requirement. Hence, the net requirement is 400 units in week 4(600-200).
  • Planned order release is the order given by the company and planned order receipts is the order received by the firm.
  • Lead-time is given as 1 week. Company requires 400 units in the beginning of Week 4. Hence, they need to order for 400 units (as the lot size is lot-for-lot) on previous week (as the lead-time is 1 week). Thus, company need to order the required units in week 3.
  • Projected on hand inventory for week 5 is 0 units. Calculation is as follows:

Projected on hand for Week 5={(Projected on-hand+Planned order receiptGross requirement)+Scheduled receipt}=(200+400600)+0=0
