- Assume you are the manager of Assembly Inc., you have just received an order for 40 units of an industrial robot, which is to be delivered at the start of week 7 of your schedule. Using the following information, determine the timing of subassembly G, given the subassembly G must be ordered in multiples of 80 units & all other components are ordered lot for lot. Assume that the components are used only for this particular robot.

Complete the followingMRP record as it would appear Monday morning. Lead time is 2 weeks, and the lotsize is 100. During the week, the following events occur. Enter them in the MRP record.a. The planned order for 100 in week 1 is released.b. Thirty of the scheduled receipts for week 1 are scrapped.c. An order for 30 is received for delivery in week 3.d. An order for 50 is received for delivery in week 6.e. The gross requirements of 70 in week 1 are issued.arrow_forwardOne unit of A is made of two units of B and one unit of C. B is made of three units of D and one unit of F. C is composed of three units of B, one unit of D, and four units of E. D is made of one unit of E. Item C has a lead time of one week; items A, B, E, and F have two-week lead times; and item D has a lead time of three weeks. Lot-for-lot (L4L) lot sizing is used for items C, E, and F; lots of size 20, 40, and 160 are used for items A, B, and D, respectively. Items A, B, D, and E have on-hand (beginning) inventories of 5, 10, 100, and 100, respectively; all other items have zero beginning inventories. We are scheduled to receive 10 units of A in week 3, 20 units of B in week 7, 40 units of F in week 5, and 60 units of E in week 2; there are no other scheduled receipts. If 20 units of A are required in week 10, use the low-level-coded bill-of-materials (product structure tree) to find thenecessary planned order releases for all components.arrow_forward

- The difference between a gross material requirementsplan (gross MRP) and a net material requirements plan(net MRP) is:a) the gross MRP may not be computerized, but the netMRP must be computerized.b) the gross MRP includes consideration of the inventoryon hand, whereas the net MRP doesn’t include theinventory consideration.c) the net MRP includes consideration of the inventoryon hand, whereas the gross MRP doesn’t include theinventory consideration.d) the gross MRP doesn’t take taxes into account, whereasthe net MRP includes the tax considerations.e) the net MRP is only an estimate, whereas the gross MRPis used for actual production scheduling.arrow_forward__________ is when the activities in the stagemust stop because there is no place to deposit the item just completed.arrow_forwardAssume you are the manager of Assembly, Inc. You have just received an order for 27 units of an industrial robot, which is to be delivered at the start of week 7 of your schedule. Using the following information, determine how many units of subassembly G to order and the timing of those orders, given that subassembly G must be ordered in multiples of 80 units and all other components are ordered lot-for-lot.
